The chemical formula of fructose is C6H12O6
The empirical formula is N₂O₅.
The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio of atoms</em> in a compound.
The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles, so our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio of N:O</em>.
I like to summarize the calculations in a table.
<u>Element</u> <u>Moles</u> <u>Ratio¹ </u> <u> ×2² </u> <u>Integers</u>³
N 1.85 1 2 2
O 4.63 2.503 5.005 5
¹To get the molar ratio, you divide each number of moles by the smallest number (1.85).
²Multiply these values by a number (2) that makes the numbers in the ratio close to integers.
³Round off the number in the ratio to integers (2 and 5).
The empirical formula is N₂O₅.
The dependent variable depends on the independent variable
First we need to find the number of moles that 43.9g of gallium metal is. We can do this by finding the molar weight of gallium and cross-multiplying to cancel out units:
So we are dealing with 0.63 moles of gallium metal.
We can take from the balanced equation that 4 moles of gallium metal will react completely with 3 moles of oxygen gas. We can take this ratio and make a proportion to find the amount of oxygen gas, in moles, that will react completely with 0.63 moles of gallium metal:
Cross multiply and solve for x:
So now we know that 0.47 moles of oxygen gas will react with 43.9g of gallium metal.
