Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 117.6 \ L \ He}}$

Explanation:

Regardless of the type of gas, 1 mole at standard temperature and pressure (STP) occupies a volume of 22.4 liters. In this case the gas is helium (He).

We can set up a ratio.

$\frac { 22.4 \ L \ He}{ 1 \ mol \ He}$

Multiply by the given number of moles.

$5.25 \ mol \ He *\frac { 22.4 \ L \ He}{ 1 \ mol \ He}$

The moles of helium will cancel.

$5.25 *\frac { 22.4 \ L \ He}{ 1 }$

$5.25 * { 22.4 \ L \ He}$

Multiply.

$117.6 \ L \ He$

5.25 moles of helium gas at STP is 117.6 liters of helium.

Which formula is an empirical formula?

poizon [28]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The empirical formula is the option B. $NH_{3}$

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.

$MolecularFormula=n(EmpiricalFormula)$

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. $N_{2}O_{4}$

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.

$N_{2}O_{4}=2(NO_{2})$

B. $NH_{3}$

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. $C_{3}H_{6}$
