Answer:

Empirical formula is  KHO₃C.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of potassium = 39.0%

Percentage of hydrogen = 1.01%

Percentage of carbon = 12.0%

Percentage of oxygen = 47.9%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of K = 39.0/ 39 = 1

Number of gram atoms of H = 1.01 / 1.01 = 1

Number of gram atoms of O = 47.9 / 16 = 3

Number of gram atoms of C = 12 / 12 = 1

Atomic ratio:

K               :            H                  :      O            :      C

1/1              :             1/1                :     3/1          ;       1/1

 1              :              1                  :        3          :        1

K : H : O :C =  1: 1 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is  KHO₃C.

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, all molecules of a particular substance are similar or alike if the substance has similar shape and structure. Molecule is made up of two or more atoms having no charge on them and the atoms present in it make bonds with each other. For example, water is made of similar molecules i. e. two hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom bonded together with a covalent bond.

Answer: 2NaNO_3(aq)+(CH_3COO)_2Pb(aq)\rightarrow 2CH_3COONa(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)

Explanation: A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

The compounds which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

Thus the exchange of ions take place and all the compounds are soluble so the chemical formulas are followed by the symbol (aq).
