Predict the empirical formula of the ionic compound that forms from aluminum and oxygen.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

A.   AlO

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest possible formula giving the ratio of atoms in a molecule of the compound.

We know that Aluminium forms Al^{3+} and oxygen forms O^{2+}.

As such the formation of the ionic compound between a metal and non-metal results into Al_2O_3.

The empirical formula is as follows:

 Element                       Aluminium           Oxygen

% composition

by mass                              26.98                    16.0

mole ratio                           26.98/26               16/16

                                    =  1.04                              = 1

divided by the

smallest number            1.04/1                             1/1

                                        1.04                             1

The empirical formula is AlO

A compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is analyzed using combustion analysis. When 50.1 g of the compound is bu
juin [17]

Answer:

C_{3}H_4O_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the carbon of the initial compound is present in the carbon dioxide product, we can compute the mass and moles of carbon in the compound:

n_C=91.8g CO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2} *\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} =2.09molC\\\\m_C=91.8g CO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2} *\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}*\frac{12gC}{1molC} =25.0gC

Next, the mass and moles of hydrogen in the compound, is contained in the yielded amount of water, thus, we compute the mass and moles of hydrogen in the compound:

n_H=25.1gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O} *\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O} =2.79molH\\\\m_H=25.1gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O} *\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O} *\frac{1gH}{1molH} =2.79gH

In such a way, the mass of oxygen comes from the mass of the compound minus the mass of carbon and oxygen:

m_O=50.1g-25.0g-2.79g=22.31gO

And the moles:

n_O=22.31gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO}=1.39molO

Then, we compute the subscripts by diving the moles of C, H and O by the moles of oxygen as the smallest moles:

C:\frac{2.09}{1.39}=1.5 \\\\H:\frac{2.79}{1.39}=2\\ \\O:\frac{1.39}{1.39} =1

After that, we write:

C_{1.5}H_2O

Which must be shown in whole number only, thereby we multiply the subscripts by 2, so the empirical formula turns out:

C_{3}H_4O_2

Best regards.
