Answer:
Option C :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
Explanation:
Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.
So,
Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule
For Example
C₂H₆O₂ Consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)
Now
Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound
C : H : O
2 : 6 : 2
Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio
C : H : O
2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2
1 : 3 : 1
So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1
So the empirical formula will be
Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O
So, Option C is correct :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
Answer:
i am so sorry. i do not have a answer but i am trying to find questioms i can answer
<span>Mg(ClO2)2 has an atom of magnesium, 2 moles of chlorine and 4 moles of oxygen. </span><span>Al(ClO2)3, on the other hand, is composed of one mole of aluminum, one mole of chlorine and six moles of oxygen. The number of molecules of both is equal to 6.022 x10^23 molecules per mole of the compound.</span>
