Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The empirical formula is the option B.
<h2>
Why?</h2>
The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that can be written. On the opposite, the molecular formula involves a variant of the same compound, but it can be also simplified to an empirical formula.
We are looking for a formula that cannot be simplified by dividing the number of molecules/atoms that conforms the compound.
Let's discard option by option in order to find which formula is an empirical formula (cannot be simplified)
A.
It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.
B.
It's an empirical formula since it cannot be obtained by the multiplication of a whole number and the simplest formula. It's the simplest formula that we can find of the compound.
C.
It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.
D.
It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.
Hence, the empirical formula is the option B.
Have a nice day!
As the number of electrons added to the same principal energy level increases, atomic size generally
C. Decreases.
The chemical reaction would be written as follows:
2Al + 3Cl2 = 2AlCl3
We are given the amount of aluminum to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculations. We do as follows:
19.0 g Al ( 1 mol / 29.98 g ) ( 2 mol AlCl3 / 2 mol Al ) = 0.63 mol AlCl3
Valence.
The electrons in the outer shell of an atom are called valence electrons.
Valence electrons determine whether the an element is ready form compounds. These electrons can be gained, lost, or shared in the formation of compounds.
Answer:atomic mass, neutrons in the nucleus
Explanation: because I remember from when I took honors chemistry last year we learned about this and it’s called the atomic mass when looking at an atom and the neutrons in the nucleus are effected by it.
