Determine the empirical formula for a compound that is found to contain

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sphinxa [80]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The empirical formula is PCl3

Explanation:

Mass of P is 30.97 g, thus 1.523 g of P equivalent to 0.05 moles of P

Mass of Cl is 35.45 g, thus 5.228 g of Cl equivalent to 0.15 moles of Cl

Therefore moles of P : moles of Cl = 0.05:0.15 = 1:3

Therefore the empirical formula, PCl3

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

10 percent

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Probability is a number that describes how likely it is that an event will occur.
  • In this case; If each of 10 events is equally likely to occur, the probability of each individual event occurring is 1/10.
  • Therefore; as a percentage;

1/10 × 100 = 10 percent

  • Hence; The probability of each individual event occurring is 10 percent

Number of H in 3(NH4)2Cro4
zlopas [31]

The number of H atoms in 3(NH₄)₂CrO₄ = 24

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

(empirical formula) n = molecular formula  

Subscripts in the chemical formula indicate the number of atoms

The compound of 3(NH₄)₂CrO₄ ( 3 molecules of (NH₄)₂CrO₄ ) :

Number of H :

\tt 4\times 2(subscript)\times 3(coefficient,number~of~molecules)=24~atoms

3. What is the formula for the compound formed from the magnesium ion and nitrate?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

D.) Mg(NO₃)₂

Explanation:

Since magnesium (Mg) is a metal and nitrate (NO₃) is a polyatomic anion, they would combine to form an ionic compound. Magnesium would form the cation Mg²⁺ because it generally has 2 valence electrons. Nitrate always has a -1 charge.

In order for the overall compound to be neutral (have a charge of 0), there must be one Mg²⁺ and two NO₃⁻ ions in the compound (+2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0).

Therefore, the formula for the compound formed is Mg(NO₃)₂.
