Chemistry

Answer:

An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge. When an atom loses an electron, it loses a negative charge and becomes a positive ion. When an atom gains an electron, it gains a negative charge and becomes a negative ion. a sodium ion forms when a sodium atom loses one electron and becomes positively charged. a chloride ion forms when a chlorine atom gains one electron and becomes negatively charged.

Hope this helps,

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 83.7% carbon and 16.3% hydrogen?
zubka84 [21]
Hello!

We use the amount in grams (mass ratio) based on the composition of the elements, see: (in 100 g solution)

C: 83.7% = 83,7 g 
H: 16.3% = 16.3 g 

Let us use the above mentioned data (in g) and values will be ​​converted to amount of substance (number of moles) by dividing by molecular mass (g / mol) each of the values, lets see:

C:  \dfrac{83.7\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{12\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol} \approx 6.975\:mol

H: \dfrac{16.3\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{1\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol} = 16.3\:mol

We note that the values ​​found above are not integers, so let's divide these values ​​by the smallest of them, so that the proportion is not changed, let's see:

C:  \dfrac{6.975}{6.975} = 1

H:  \dfrac{16.3}{6.975} \approx 2.3

Note: So the ratio in the smallest whole numbers of carbon to hydrogen is 3:7, t<span>hus, the minimum or empirical formula found for the compound will be:

\boxed{\boxed{C_3H_7}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I hope this helps. =)
