To
determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to
determine the ratio of the elements present in the compound. To do that we use the given amount of sample
of the compound and the masses of each of the element included. Then, we calculate for the number
of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
mass moles
Potassium 5.81 0.1486
Chlorine 5.27 0.1487
Oxygen 18.21 - 5.81 - 5.27 = 7.13 0.4456
Dividing the number of moles of each element with
the smallest value of number of moles, we will have the ratio of the elements:</span>
K = 1 Cl = 1 O = 3
Therefore, the empirical formula would be KClO3.

Lithium
Explanation:
Lithium is the strongest reducing agent
Answer:
Carbon is the chemical backbone of life on Earth. Carbon compounds regulate the Earth’s temperature, make up the food that sustains us, and provide energy that fuels our global economy. Most of Earth’s carbon is stored in rocks and sediments. The rest is located in the ocean, atmosphere, and in living organisms. These are the reservoirs through which carbon cycles.The ocean plays a critical role in carbon storage, as it holds about 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere. Two-way carbon exchange can occur quickly between the ocean’s surface waters and the atmosphere, but carbon may be stored for centuries at the deepest ocean depths.
Explanation:
Percent by mass of platinum in white gold = 100% - 45% = 55%
We let x be the mass of the white which is 45% gold and 55% platinum.
Mass of gold in white gold = m x 0.45
where m is the total mass.
From the given above, we formulate the equation that would allow us to determine the mass of white gold.
154 = x (0.45)
x = 342.22 g
Then, we determine the amount of platinum.
mass of platinum = (342.22 g)(0.55)
mass of platinum = 188.22 grams
Thus, 188.22 grams of platinum is needed.
