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 mass of sodium chloride contains 4.59 x 10 24 formula units?
shtirl [24]
The term formula units means molecules.

Then, what you are looking for is the mass in 4.59*10^24  molecules.

The procedure involves to convert the 4.59 * 10^24 molecules into moles and use the molar mass of the sodium chloride.

1) Number of moles = 4.59 * 10^24 molecules / (6.02 * 10^23 molecules/mol) = 7.62 mol

2) Molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol

3) mass of NaCl = molar mass *  number of moles = 58.44 g/mol * 7.62 mol = 445.31 g of NaCl

Answer: 445.31 g of NaCl.
