To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:

       Mass              Moles                     
K    52.10     52.10/39.10 = 1.33         1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C    15.8       15.8/12         = 1.32         1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O     32.1      32.1 / 16       =  2.01        2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5

The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.

How many atoms are there in 5K2CO3
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Depends on what are you refering to

Explanation:

So depending on what you are looking for (your question is quite vauge)

there are 5 atoms of the comopound (K2CO3)

within that compound, there are 2 atoms of Potassium and 1 atom of Carbonate. Within Carbonate there are 4 atoms (1 carbon and 3 oxygens)

so answers may be

5, 15, or 25.

I hope this helps.

As the temperature of one of the four liquids increases, the vapor pressure will
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

a) increase exponentially.

Explanation:

The vapor pressure is depend only on temperature.

The vapor pressure of liquid does not depend upon amount of liquid. For example whether the liquid is 50 g or 30 g its vapor pressure will remain same according to the temperature.

The temperature and vapor pressure have exponential relationship. As the temperature of liquid increases its vapor pressure also goes to increase. When the temperature of liquid goes to decrease its vapor pressure also decreases.

The change in vapor pressure of substance when temperature changes is given as,

ln P₂/P₁ = ΔH(va)/R (1/T₁ - 1/T₂)

cuando las particulas estan separadas una de la otra se dice que su estado de agregacion o fisico es?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

english:

Solid is the state in which matter maintains a certain volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter conforms to the shape of its container, but varies only slightly in volume; gas is the state in which matter expands to fill the volume and shape of its container.

español:

Sólido es el estado en el que la materia mantiene cierto volumen y forma; el líquido es el estado en el que la materia se adapta a la forma de su recipiente, pero varía sólo ligeramente en volumen; el gas es el estado en el que la materia se expande para ocupar el volumen y la forma de su recipiente.

To balance a chemical equation it may be necessary to adjust the
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

  • <em>To balance a chemical equation it may be necessary to adjust the </em><u>coefficients.</u>

Explanation:

The <em>coefficients</em> of a <em>chemical equation</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each reactant and product. They are used to balance the equation and comply with the law of mass conservation.

By adjusting the coefficients you obtain the relative amounts (moles) of each product and reactant, i.e. the mole ratios.

Here an example.

The first information is what is called a word equation. E.g. nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia:

  • Word equation: hydrogen + nitrogen → ammonia

  • Skeleton equation: H₂ + N₂ → NH₃

        This equation shows the chemical formulae but it is not balanced. The law of mass conservation is not observed.

So, in order to comply with the law of mass conservation you adjust the coefficients as follow.

  • Balanced chemical equation: 3H₂ + N₂ → 2NH₃

        As you see, it was necessary to modify the coefficients. Now the law of conservation of mass is observed and you get the mole ratios:

  • 3 mol H₂ : 1 mol  N₂ : 2 mol NH₃
