ANSWER : 108 + 10 = 118
118 + ( 5 + 3 )
118 + 8 = <u>1</u><u>2</u><u>6</u>
<u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>g</u>
1,6,1,2 that should be the answer
Data: molar mass 470 g/mol
Percent composition:
Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%
Solution:
1) Convert % to molar ratios
A. Base: 100 g
=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol
Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol
B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number
Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00
Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00
=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl
2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:
HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04
3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:
470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2
=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.
Answers:
Empirical formula HgCl
Molecular Formula Hg2Cl2
I believe its true , because when two elements form different compounds a given mass of one element will combine with the other , during any chemical change atoms arent created or destroyed they are jus rearranged
