Answer:

X5Y2

Explanation:

% composition of X = 52.2%

% composition of Y = (100 - 52.2) = 47.8%

This means that there are 52.2g of X and 47.8g of Y in the compound

To calculate the empirical formula of the compound, we first convert the gram value to mole value by dividing by their molar masses.

X = 52.2g/42.3g/mol = 1.234mol

Y = 47.8g/96.7g/mol = 0.494mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest value (0.494mol)

X = 1.234mol ÷ 0.494mol = 2.49

Y = 0.494mol ÷ 0.494mol = 1

We multiply each value by 2

X = 2.49 × 2 = 4.98

Y = 1 × 2 = 2

The simple ratio of X:Y is 5:2, hence, their empirical formula is X5Y2.

What is a product for 4 reaction type?
Crank

Answer:

1= 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

2=CaCo₃ + heat → CaO +CO₂

3=CH₄ + 2O₂   → CO₂ +2H₂O

4=HCl + NaOH   → NaCl + H₂O

Explanation:

1 = Simple composition

The formation of water molecule is simple composition reaction. In this reaction two hydrogen atoms react with one oxygen atom and form one water molecules.

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

The amount of energy released is -285.83 KJ/mol. It is exothermic reaction.

2 = Simple decomposition reaction:

The break down of sodium hydrogen carbonate into sodium carbonate, carbondioxide and water is decomposition reaction. The decomposition reactions re mostly endothermic, because compound required energy to break.

2NaHCO₃ + heat → Na₂CO₃ + H₂O + CO₂

It is endothermic reaction.

Another example is:

CaCo₃ + heat → CaO +CO₂

3 = Combustion reaction

Consider the combustion of methane:

CH₄ + 2O₂   → CO₂ +2H₂O

The burning of methane is exothermic. The combustion reactions are exothermic because when fuel are burns they gives energy.

4 = Neutralization reaction

The neutralization reactions are those in which acid and base react to form the salt and the water. Some neutralization reactions are exothermic because they release heat. e.g

Consider the neutralization reaction of HCl and NaOH.

HCl + NaOH   → NaCl + H₂O

HCI+CaCO3=CaCl2+H2O+CO2<br>​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2 HCl + CaCO3  = CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

Explanation:

On the right side we have 2xCl, to get the same amount we will multiply HCl on the left side by 2.

This will give us 2xH on the left side; we also have 2xH on the right side ( in H2O).

On both sides we have 1x Ca; 1x C.

On the left side we have 3XO (in CaCO3), on the right side we have 1O in H20 and 2xO in CO2, so 3x O on the right side as well.

The reaction is balanced.
