Hello!
We use the amount in grams (mass ratio) based on the composition of the elements, see: (in 100 g solution)
C: 83.7% = 83,7 g
H: 16.3% = 16.3 g
Let us use the above mentioned data (in g) and values will be converted to amount of substance (number of moles) by dividing by molecular mass (g / mol) each of the values, lets see:


We note that the values found above are not integers, so let's divide these values by the smallest of them, so that the proportion is not changed, let's see:


Note: So the ratio in the smallest whole numbers of carbon to hydrogen is 3:7, t<span>hus, the minimum or empirical formula found for the compound will be:

I hope this helps. =)
When the reaction equation is:
CaSO3(s) → CaO(s) + SO2(g)
we can see that the molar ratio between CaSO3 & SO2 is 1:1 so, we need to find first the moles SO2.
to get the moles of SO2 we are going to use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
when P is the pressure = 1.1 atm
and V is the volume = 14.5 L
n is the moles' number (which we need to calculate)
R ideal gas constant = 0.0821
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 12.5 + 273 = 285.5 K
so, by substitution:
1.1 * 14.5 L = n * 0.0821 * 285.5
∴ n = 1.1 * 14.5 / (0.0821*285.5)
= 0.68 moles SO2
∴ moles CaSO3 = 0.68 moles
so we can easily get the mass of CaSO3:
when mass = moles * molar mass
and we know that the molar mass of CaSO3= 40 + 32 + 16 * 3 = 120 g/mol
∴ mass = 0.68 moles* 120 g/mol = 81.6 g
Answer:
each element is designated by its <u>Chemical Symbol </u>which is usually from the first letters of the elements name
Explanation:
You can have a solution of hydrogen peroxide that might say 10% that means that 10% per mass of the hydrogen peroxide solution is the hydrogen peroxide the rest is water.
concentration is the amount of mass in the solution eg 5gdm-3
hope that helps
