Answer:

- C6H12O6 is not an empirical formula because it can be simplified to CH2O.

- CaCO3 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- NaMnO4 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- Ba3(PO4)2 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- K2C2O4 is not an empirical formula because it can be simplified to KCO2.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the empirical formulas are referred to those formulas that have been simplified up to the smallest whole number for each subscript per atom, we can see that:

- C6H12O6 is not an empirical formula because it can be simplified to CH2O.

- CaCO3 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- NaMnO4 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- Ba3(PO4)2 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- K2C2O4 is not an empirical formula because it can be simplified to KCO2.

Best regards!

How many molecules of ammonia are contained in 10.4 moles of ammonia, NH3?

seraphim [82]

Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We do as follows:

10 mol NH3 ( 6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) = 6.022x10^24 molecules NH3

belka [17]

When writing an ionic compound formula, a "molecular" form is used. The formula is made with allowance for ion charges.
For example,
Ca²⁺ and NO₃⁻ ⇒ Ca(NO₃)₂
Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻ ⇒ Al₂(SO₄)₃
