What happened after that ? If you don’t mind me asking .
Answer:
The empirical formula is ZnO2
Explanation:
What is the empirical formula for a compound which contains 67.1% zinc and the rest is oxygen?
Step 1: Data given
Suppose the compound has a mass of 100.0 grams
A compound contains:
67.1 % Zinc = 67.1 grams
100 - 67.1 = 32.9 % oxygen = 32.9 grams
Molar mass of Zinc = 65.38 g/mol
Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate moles of Zinc
Suppose the compound is 100 grams
Moles Zn = 67. 10 grams / 65.38 g/mol
Moles Zn = 1.026 moles
Step 3: Calculate moles of O
Moles O = 32.90 grams / 16.00 g/mol
Moles O = 2.056 moles
Step 4: Calculate mol ratio
We divide by the smallest amount of moles
Zn: 1.026/1.026 = 1
O: 2.056/1.026 = 2
The empirical formula is ZnO2
To control this we can calculate the % Zinc for 1 mol
65.38 / (65.38+2*16) = 0.67.1 = 67.2 %
Answer:
Molecular formula for the gas is: C₄H₁₀
Explanation:
Let's propose the Ideal Gases Law to determine the moles of gas, that contains 0.087 g
At STP → 1 atm and 273.15K
1 atm . 0.0336 L = n . 0.082 . 273.15 K
n = (1 atm . 0.0336 L) / (0.082 . 273.15 K)
n = 1.500 × 10⁻³ moles
Molar mass of gas = 0.087 g / 1.500 × 10⁻³ moles = 58 g/m
Now we propose rules of three:
If 0.580 g of gas has ____ 0.480 g of C _____ 0.100 g of C
58 g of gas (1mol) would have:
(58 g . 0.480) / 0.580 = 48 g of C
(58 g . 0.100) / 0.580 = 10 g of H
48 g of C / 12 g/mol = 4 mol
10 g of H / 1g/mol = 10 moles
