Answer:
2.645
Explanation:
Rate of diffusion formula:
Sqrt(mass2/mass1)
>>sqrt(14/2)
(Note:Hydrogen must exist in dwiatomic, [H2])
Step one calculate the moles of each element
that is moles= % composition/molar mass
molar mass of Ca = 40g/mol, S= 32 g/mol , O= 16 g/mol
moles of Ca = 29.4 /40g/mol=0.735 moles, S= 23.5/32 =0.734 moles, O= 47.1/16= 2.94 moles
calculate the mole ratio by dividing each mole with smallest mole that is 0.734
Ca= 0.735/0.734= 1, S= 0.734/0.734 =1, O = 2.94/ 0.734= 4
therefore the emipical formula = CaSO4
What you have to do is balance the chemical equations to make sure everything is even on both sides. If you want me to help you answer the questions comment back
