Answer:

HfCl3

Explanation:

Step 1

Divide the percent by mass of each element by its relative atomic mass

Hf- 62.2/178.5, Cl-37.4/35.5

0.348, 1.054

Step2

Divide through by the lowest ratio

0.348/0.348, 1.054/0.348

1, 3

Therefore the empirical formula is HfCl3

How many moles of CO2 are produced from the combustion of 5.25 moles of CH3OH?
iVinArrow [24]

First, we write the reaction for CH3OH combustion

CH3OH+3/2O2--->CO2+2H2O

for 1 mole of methanol, we get 1 mole of CO2, therefore for 5,25 moles of methanol we will get 5,25 moles of CO2
