Answer: The empirical formula is BrF_3

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Br=  58.37 g

Mass of F = (100-58.37) = 41.63 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Br=\frac{\text{ given mass of Br}}{\text{ molar mass of Br}}= \frac{58.37g}{80g/mole}=0.73moles

Moles of F =\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{41.63g}{19g/mole}=2.2moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Br = \frac{0.73}{0.73}=1

For F = \frac{2.2}{0.7}=3

The ratio of Br: F= 1 : 3

Hence the empirical formula is BrF_3

An elimination reaction can best be described as a reaction in which an elimination reaction can best be described as a reaction
tresset_1 [31]
So I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking but I’m going to give it a go. The elimination reaction is a term used in organic chemistry that describes a type of reactions. The name kinda tells you what’s going to happen. Something is going to be removed/eliminated from initial reactant/substrate and as a result, an alkene (double bond containing compound) will form.

In elimination reactions a hydrogen atom is first removed (as a H+) from the beta carbon. As a result, the left behind electrons create a pi bond between the beta carbon and the neighboring alpha carbon. This promotes the electronegative atom, on the alpha carbon, to leaves the substrate taking both electrons from the shared sigma bond with the alpha carbon.
