To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.
I would say D. Let me know if i am wrong.
The number of moles of moles of Magnesium,chlorine and oxygen atoms in 7.80 moles of Mg(ClO4)2 is calculated as below
find the total number of each atom in Mg(ClO4)2
that is mg = 1 atom
Cl = 1x2 = 2 atoms
O = 4 x2 = 8 atoms
then multiply 7.80 moles with total number of each atom , to get the number moles of each atom
that is
Mg = 7.80 x1= 7.80 moles
cl = 7.80 x2=15.6 moles
O = 7.80 x8= 62.4 moles
Answer:
HCl is the formula for Hydrochloric acid
Explanation:
- Chemical formula is a formula of a compound showing the symbols of elements present in the compound.
- Chemical formula also shows the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.
- HCl is the chemical formula of hydrochloric acid. From this formula we can tell that hydrochloric acid is made up of hydrogen and chlorine elements.
- The formula also shows that HCl contains 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom.
