Answer:
Empirical formula: CH₃O
Empirical formula mass = 31 g/mol
Explanation:
Data Given:
Molecular Formula = C₁₀H₃₀O₁₀
Empirical Formula = ?
Empirical Formula mass =
Solution
Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.
So,
The ratio of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule
As
C₁₀H₃₀O₁₀ Consist of 10 Carbon (C) atoms, 30 Hydrogen (H) atoms, and 10 Oxygen (O) atoms.
Now
Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound
C : H : O
10 : 30 : 10
Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio
C : H : O
10/10 : 30/10 : 10/10
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 C₁₀H₃₀O₁₀ = CH₃O
Now
To find the empirical formula mass in g/mol
Formula mass:
Formula mass is the total sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms present in a formula unit.
**Note:
if we represent the molar mass of the empirical formula for one mol in grams then it is written as g/mol
So,
As the empirical formula of C₁₀H₃₀O₁₀ is CH₃O
Then Its empirical formula mass will be
CH₃O
Atomic Mass of C = 12
Atomic Mass of H = 3
Atomic Mass of O = 16
Total Molar mass of CH₃O
CH₃O = 12 + 3(1) + 16
CH₃O = 12 + 3 + 16
CH₃O = 31 g/mol

Notice how it is starting to shift allowing the earthquake to form.
Answer:
Ionic character
A. PF₃ > PBr₃ > PCl₃
B. BF₃ > CF₄ > NF₃
C. TeF₄ > BrF₃ > SeF₄
Explanation:
The most electronegative element is fluorine, followed chlorine, phosphorous nitrogen etc.
- Atoms with high electronegativity tend to form negative ions.
- Ionic compounds formed between elements with high electronegativity difference.
- % ionic character is directly proportional to electronegativity difference.
- According to Pauling Scale E.n for F(4.0), O(3.5), N(3.0), C(2.5), B(2.0), P(2.19), Se(2.55) , Te (2.1), Cl(3.16) and Br(2.96)
- ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( P and F = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81), (P and Br = 2.96 - 2.19 = 0.77) , (P and Cl = 3.16 - 2.96 = 0.2 )
- ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( N and F = 4 - 3 = 1), (B and F = 4 - 2 = 2) , (C and F = 4 - 2.5 = 1.5 )
- ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( Se and F = 4 - 2.55 = 1.45), (F and Te = 4 - 2.1 = 1.9) , (F and Br = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81 )
Answer:
6.82g
0.59moles
Explanation:
1. What is the mass sample of 0.0500 moles of zinc chloride ?
Given parameters:
Number of moles ZnCl₂ = 0.05moles
Unknown:
Mass of the sample = ?
Solution:
To find the mass of a substance using the number of moles, it would be pertinent to understand what mole is.
A mole is a substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.
It relates to the mass using the expression below;
Mass of a substance = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of ZnCl₂;
Atomic mass of Zn = 65.4g/mol
Cl = 35.5g/mol
Molar mass = 65.4 + 2(35.5) = 136.4g/mole
Mass of a substance = 0.05 x 136.4 = 6.82g
2. How many moles of potassium sulfide are in a 65.50g sample?
Given parameters:
Mass of K₂S = 65.5g
Unknown:
Number of moles = ?
Solution:
The number of moles of any substance is related to mass using the expression below;
Number of moles = 
Molar mass of K₂S = 2(39) + 32 = 110g/mol
Number of moles = 
= 0.59moles
The answer is 1023 particles
