Answer: False
Explanation:
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Example:
has similar molecular formula and empirical formula as the elements are already present in simplest of the ratios.
has molecular formula of
but
as the empirical formula.
Answer:
38.541 × 10¹⁹ formula units
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of chromium sulfate = 0.25 g
Formula units in 0.25 g = ?
Solution:
The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.
It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.
The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.
For example,
18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ formula units of water
Number of moles of chromium sulfate = Mass / molar mass
Number of moles of chromium sulfate = 0.25 g/ 392.16 g/ mol
Number of moles of chromium sulfate = 6.4 × 10⁻⁴ moles
Number of formula units:
1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ formula units
6.4 × 10⁻⁴ moles × 6.022 × 10²³ formula units / 1 mol
38.541 × 10¹⁹ formula units
