Anything between 4 and 6 is ok.
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
calculating for 100 g of compound
C H O
mass 64.27 g 7.19 g 28.54 g
number of moles 64.27 g / 12 g/mol 7.19 g/1 g/mol 28.54 g / 16 g/mol
= 5.356 mol = 7.19 mol = 1.784 mol
divide by least number of moles
5.356 / 1.784 7.19 / 1.784 1.784 / 1.784
= 3.002 4.03 = 1.000
rounded off to nearest whole number
C - 3
H - 4
O - 1
empirical formula - C₃H₄O
mass of empirical formula = 12 g/mol x 3 + 1 g/mol x 4 + 16 g/mol x 1 = 56 g
molecular mass = 168.19 g/mol
molecular formula is the actual ratio of elements making up the compound
number of empirical units = molar mass of molecule / empirical mass
empirical units = 168.19 g/mol / 56 g = 3.00
there are 3 empirical units making up the molecular formula
molecular formula = 3 x C₃H₄O
molecular formula = C₉H₁₂O₃
Here we have to chose the correct statement which affect the discovery of the atomic number on the periodic table.
The discovery of the atomic number of the elements: C. It allowed the elements to be placed in strict order of increasing atomic number.
The use of X-ray determined the atomic number or number of electrons present in an element. The number of electrons is the basis of generate the periodic table, where the elements are arranged in terms of the number of electrons present in the atom in early stage of periodic table.
However in later the modern periodic table generated, which has group and period in terms of their property. Although the strictness on the increasing number of electrons are followed.
Most often, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the nonmetal atoms. Some other reactions are possible, such as the reaction between some metal cations and compounds of nonmetals, such as carbon monoxide, to form coordinate covalent bonds.
