Chemistry
1 answer:
k0ka [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

AuCl

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Gold  = 2.6444g

Mass of Chlorine  = 0.476g

Unknown:

Empirical formula  = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. Here is the way of determining this formula.

Elements                                     Au                                             Cl

Mass                                         2.6444                                     0.476

Molar mass                                 197                                          35.5

Number of moles                  2.6444/197                                 0.476/35.5

                                                 0.013                                           0.013

Divide by the

smallest                                 0.013/0.013                                 0.013/0.013

                                                       1                                                   1

The empirical formula of the compound is AuCl

What properties of a substance effect how substances in a mixture separate
IrinaVladis [17]
Mixture is a material made up of two or more different substances which are mixed. A mixture refers to the physical combination of two or more substances in which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensionsand colloids.[1][2]

Mixtures are one product of mechanically blending or mixing chemical substances such as elements and compounds, without chemical bonding or other chemical change, so that each ingredient substance retains its own chemical properties and makeup.[3]Despite that there are no chemical changes to its constituents, the physical properties of a mixture, such as its melting point, may differ from those of the components. Some mixtures can be separated into their components by using physical (mechanical or thermal) means. Azeotropes are one kind of mixture that usually pose considerable difficulties regarding the separation processes required to obtain their constituents (physical or chemical processes

The analysis of a compound containing K, P and O showed 55 % K, 15 % P and 30 % O, set up the simplest empirical formula of this
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Empirical formula is K₃PO₄.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of K = 55%

Percentage of P = 15%

Percentage of O = 30%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of K = 55 / 39.098 = 1.41

Number of gram atoms of P = 15 /30.974= 0.48

Number of gram atoms of O = 30 / 15.999 = 1.88

Atomic ratio:

             K                      :          P                   :         O

           1.41/0.48            :       0.48/0.48        :       1.88/0.48

               3                     :           1                    :            4

K : P : O = 3 : 1 : 4

Empirical formula is K₃PO₄.
