Option C coz it should be ( CNH4)2. Hope i cleared your doubt
Answer:
A - NaCl is a product
D - Cl2 is a gas
Explanation:
Based on the chemical reaction;
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl2
- Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. Sodium is in solid state, chlorine is in gaseous state and Sodium chloride is in solid state.
- In the chemical reaction, sodium and chlorine are reactants while sodium chloride is the product.
- Additionally the chemical reaction above is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
Assuming for 100 g of the compound
Cu As S
mass 48.41 g 19.02 g 32.57 g
number of moles 48.41 / 63.5 g/mol 19.02 / 75 g/mol 32.57 / 32 g/mol
= 0.762 mol = 0.2536 mol = 1.018 mol
divide by the least number of moles
0.762 / 0.2536 0.2536 / 0.2536 1.018 / 0.2536
= 3.00 = 1.00 = 4.01
once they are rounded off
Cu - 3
As - 1
S - 4
therefore empirical formula is Cu₃AsS₄
