Answer:
The empirical formula of a compound is Na2Cr2O7
Explanation:
Empirical formula is defined as the lowest ratio of elements present in any substance. In order to determine the empirical formula for a substance containing these elements we have to follow some steps.
1.In the first step, we have to divide the given mass of an element with its molecular mass to convert the mass to moles.
Similarly, the moles of Cr and O in that compound were calculated and found as 0.396 and 1.3875, respectively.
2. Then the next step is to determine the lowest moles and divide all the moles with that lowest mole. As here the lowest mole is 0.396. So on dividing the moles of Na, Cr and O with 0.396, we will obtain the ratio as 1:1:3.5.
3. As the ratio consists of a fractional number, we have to multiply it with the smallest possible integer to convert it to whole number. In this case, if we multiply it with 2 , we will get the ratio as 2:2:7.
Thus, the empirical formula for the compound can be written as Na2Cr2O7.
Chemical reaction is given as :
Here, 2 moles of water gives 2 moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen.
Mass of hydrogen = 28.0 g (given)
Mass of oxygen = 224.0 g (given)
Number of moles =
Thus, number of moles of hydrogen =
= 14 moles of hydrogen
Number of moles of oxygen=
= 7 moles of oxygen
Now, to find the amount of water:
= 252 g of water.
Thus, amount of water is 252 g (involved in the process).
