Compound are formed by two or more elements chemically combined. For example: H^2O is the water formula, this is a compound because you two elements which are Hydrogen and Oxygen and together they form a compound. The (^2) is the amount of atoms the formula has, in this case Hydrogen has two atoms and Oxygen is neutral.
Today they will practice measuring different liquids. They will use a container called a graduated cylinder to measure liquids. Graduated cylinders have numbers on the side that help you determine the volume. Volume is measured in units called liters or fractions of liters called milliliters (ml).
Which type of solution are you talking about?
1) Compund Ir (x) O(y)
2) Mass of iridium = mass of crucible and iridium - mass of crucible = 39.52 g - 38.26 g = 1.26 g
3) Mass of iridium oxide = mass of crucible and iridium oxide - mass of crucible = 39.73g - 38.26g = 1.47g
4) Mass of oxygen = mass of iridum oxide - mass of iridium = 1.47g - 1.26g = 0.21g
5) Convert grams to moles
moles of iridium = mass of iridium / molar mass of iridium = 1.26 g / 192.17 g/mol = 0.00656 moles
moles of oxygen = mass of oxygen / molar mass of oxygen = 0.21 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.0131
6) Find the proportion of moles
Divide by the least of the number of moles, i.e. 0.00656
Ir: 0.00656 / 0.00656 = 1
O: 0.0131 / 0.00656 = 2
=> Empirical formula = Ir O2 (where 2 is the superscript for O)
Answer: Ir O2
According to Charles' Law the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature in Kelvin keeping the pressure constant.
V∝ T, P is constant
where V, T and P are volume, temperature and pressure
= 
where V₁, T₁, V₂ and T₂ are initial volume, initial temperature, final volume and final temperature.
