CH4 is an emprirical formula as it shows the simplest ratio of the numbers of different atoms present in the molecule. The empirical formula for CH4 is also the same as the molecular formula.
The other compunds can be simplified so they are not the empirical formula of compounds.
Hope this helps :).

Given the ion C2O4-2, what species would you expect to form with each of the following ions?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A. K₂C₂O₄          Potassium oxalate

B. CuC₂O₄          Copper oxalate

C. Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃         Bismuth (III) oxalate

D. Pb(C₂O₄)₂         Lead (IV) oxalate

E. (NH₄)₂C₂O₄       Ammonium oxalate

F. HC₂O₄⁻             Acid oxalate

Explanation:

C₂O₄⁻²  → oxalate anion

This is the conjugate base from the H₂C₂O₄ which is the oxalic acid. A weak dyprotic acid that can release 2 protons.

A. 2K⁺  +  C₂O₄⁻²  → K₂C₂O₄          Potassium oxalate

It can be formed by the neutralization of the acid with the base

H₂C₂O₄  + 2KOH  → K₂C₂O₄  +  2H₂O

B. Cu²⁺ +  C₂O₄⁻²   ⇄  CuC₂O₄  ↓

This is a precipitate.

C.  2Bi³⁺  +  3C₂O₄⁻²   ⇄  Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃  ↓

This is a precipitate.

D.  Pb⁴⁺ +  2C₂O₄⁻²   ⇄  Pb(C₂O₄)₂  ↓

This is a precipitate.

E. 2NH₄⁺  +  C₂O₄⁻²   ⇄  (NH₄)₂C₂O₄  ↓

This is a precipitate.

F. This is the conjugate strong base, for the weak acid

H⁺  +  C₂O₄⁻²   ⇄  HC₂O₄⁻

HC₂O₄⁻  + H₂O  ⇄  C₂O₄⁻²  +  H₃O⁺    Ka

HC₂O₄⁻  + H₂O  ⇄  H₂C₂O₄  +  OH⁻    Kb

HC₂O₄⁻  is an amphoteric compound

Tin (II) fluoride, formerly found in many kinds of toothpaste, is formed in this reaction: Sn (s) + 2HF (g) ——&gt; SnF2 (s) + H2
Readme [11.4K]

1.34 L of HF

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

Sn (s) + 2 HF (g) → SnF₂ (s) + H₂ (g)

First we calculate the number of moles of SnF₂:

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

number of moles of SnF₂ = 5 / 157 = 0.03 moles

From the chemical reaction we see that 1 mole of SnF₂ are produced from 2 moles of SnF₂. This will mean that 0.03 moles of SnF₂ are produced from 0.06 moles of HF.

Now at standard temperature and pressure (STP) we can use the following formula to calculate the volume of HF:

number of moles = volume / 22.4 (L/mole)

volume of HF = number of moles × 22.4

volume of HF = 0.06 × 22.4 = 1.34 L

Sylvanite is a mineral that contains 28.0% gold by mass. How much sylvanite would you need to dig up to obtain 73.0 g of gold?
Scorpion4ik [409]

You would have to dig up 261 g of sylvanite.

Mass of sylvanite = 73.0 g Au × (100 g sylvanite/28.0 g Au) = <em>261 g</em> sylvanite.
