Answer:

K₂CrO₅

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. To find the empirical formula, we follow the procedure below:

Elements                         Potassium                 Chromium         Oxygen

Mass                                  6.52                             4.34                  5.34

Molar mass                          39                               60                      16

Number of moles             6.52/39                     4.34/60             5.34/16

                                             0.167                          0.072              0.333

Divide through by

the smallest                      0.167/0.072             0.072/0.072          0.333/0.072

                                            2.3                               1                                4.6

                                             2                                 1                                  5

Empirical formula K₂CrO₅

What is the pOH of a solution that has an H+=7.7x10^-7 M
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1

The question is based on the concept of PH and pOH calculations.

pH is defined as negative logarithmic of hydronium Ion concentration.

while pOH is defined as negative logarithmic of hydroxide ion concentration of the solution.

Step 2

[H+] = 7.7*10-7  M  

pH = -log[H+]  

    = -log ( 7.7*10-7 )

     = 6.12

Step 3

pOH = 14 - pH

   = 14 - 6.11

  = 7.89
