Answer:
Option C :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
Explanation:
Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.
So,
Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule
For Example
C₂H₆O₂ Consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)
Now
Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound
C : H : O
2 : 6 : 2
Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio
C : H : O
2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2
1 : 3 : 1
So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1
So the empirical formula will be
Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O
So, Option C is correct :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
Answer:
4804.5 g of SO₂ are needed to the reaction
Explanation:
The reaction to produce sulfuric acid is:
2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄
Ratio is 1:2. 1 mol of oxygen needs 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to react. We can propose this rule of three.
If 1 mol of O₂ react to 2 moles of SO₂
Then, 37.50 moles of O₂ will react with (37.5 . 2) /1 = 75 moles of SO₂
We convert the moles to mass, to know the answer:
75 mol . 64.06 g / 1 mol = 4804.5 g of SO₂
