Which of the following statements is false concerning the formula of a compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical  formula.

Explanation:

It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.

The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;

  • The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
  • The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.

Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.

Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.

What is the mass in milligrams of 4.30 moles of sodium?use âeâ for âÃ10" and use significant figures?
Elis [28]

First, calculate the mass of sodium in g with the help of molar mass and number of moles.

Number of moles = \frac{given mass in g}{molar mass}   (1)

Molar mass of sodium =23 .0 g/mol

Substitute the given value of number of moles and molar mass of sodium in formula (1)

4.30 moles = \frac{given mass in g}{23.0 g/mol}   (1)

4.30 moles\times 23.0 g/mol = mass in g   (1)

mass of sodium in g = 98.9 g

Now, according to conversion factor, 1 g = 1000 mg

So, 98.9 g of sodium = 98.9 \times 1000  mg

= 98900 mg of sodium

Thus, mass of sodium in mg  =9.89 \times 10^{4} mg

What products would you expect from the reaction of ammonia and sulfuric acid in aqueous solution? 2nh3(aq)+h2so4(aq)→ ?
arsen [322]
From the reaction of ammonia and sulfuric acid in aqueous solution 2nh3(aq)+h2so4(aq)<span>→</span> (NH4)2SO4 + H2O will be formed.Sulfuric acid is diprotic so is able to give up 2 H+ ions. It is an acid-base neutralisation reaction forming ammonium sulphate as the salt. 2NH3 with H2SO4 reacts in a neutralization reaction to form salt water, with ammonium sulphate left behind to crystallize after evaporation.
