the mass of oxy gas would be 4.03 did i calculate that right?
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
calculating for 100 g of compound
C H O
mass 64.27 g 7.19 g 28.54 g
number of moles 64.27 g / 12 g/mol 7.19 g/1 g/mol 28.54 g / 16 g/mol
= 5.356 mol = 7.19 mol = 1.784 mol
divide by least number of moles
5.356 / 1.784 7.19 / 1.784 1.784 / 1.784
= 3.002 4.03 = 1.000
rounded off to nearest whole number
C - 3
H - 4
O - 1
empirical formula - C₃H₄O
mass of empirical formula = 12 g/mol x 3 + 1 g/mol x 4 + 16 g/mol x 1 = 56 g
molecular mass = 168.19 g/mol
molecular formula is the actual ratio of elements making up the compound
number of empirical units = molar mass of molecule / empirical mass
empirical units = 168.19 g/mol / 56 g = 3.00
there are 3 empirical units making up the molecular formula
molecular formula = 3 x C₃H₄O
molecular formula = C₉H₁₂O₃
Answer: Formation of hydrogen iodide will occur.
Explanation:
When molecule of hydrogen gas
and molecule of iodine gas
collide with proper orientation and with sufficient amount of energy. This collision of the two different molecules of gases will result in the formation of hydrogen iodide.
The balanced chemical equation of the reaction will written as:

2.0 grams of mass which would make the dimand
