Greetings!
To find the empirical formula you need the relative atomic mass of each element!
Li = 6.9
C = 12
O = 16
You can simply change the percentages into full grams
Li = 18.8g
C = 16.3g
O = 64.9
Then you use this to find the Number of moles = amount in grams / atomic mass
Li = 18.8 ÷ 6.9 = 2.7246
C = 16.3 ÷ 12 = 1.3583
O = 64.9 ÷ 16 = 4.0562
Then divide each number of moles by the smallest value:
Li = 2.7246 ÷ 1.3583 = 2.0
C = 1.3583 ÷ 1.3583 = 1
O = 4.0562 ÷ 1.3583 = 2.9 ≈ 3
So that means that there are 2 Li, 1 C, and 3 O
Empirical formula would be:
Li₂CO₃
Hope this helps!
Answer:atomic mass, neutrons in the nucleus
Explanation: because I remember from when I took honors chemistry last year we learned about this and it’s called the atomic mass when looking at an atom and the neutrons in the nucleus are effected by it.
The primary colors are blue, red, and yellow.
Explanation:
