The empirical formula is K₂O.
The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio</em> of atoms in a compound.
The <em>ratio of atom</em>s is the same as the <em>ratio of moles</em>.
So, our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio</em> of K to O.
Step 1. Calculate the <em>moles of each element
</em>
Moles of K = 32.1 g K × (1 mol K/(39.10 g K =) = 0.8210 mol K
Moles of O = 6.57 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 0.4106 mol 0
Step 2. Calculate the <em>molar ratio of each elemen</em>t
Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer
K:O = 0.8210:0.4106 = 1.999:1 ≈ 2:1
Step 3: Write the <em>empirical formula
</em>
EF = K₂O
The atomic number is the same as the amount of electrons and protons. For example:
Oxygens atomic number is 8 so the proton and electron count is 8.
Hydrogens atomic number is 1 so the proton and electron count is 1.
What is the solubility of barium chromate in parts per million?
*parts per million = Grams of Solute/grams of solution X 10^6 (which is ppm)
2.787 x 10^-3g/L x 1L/1000g x 10^6 = 0.02779, or 2.78 x 10^-2ppm
Answer in parts per million to three significant figures =2.78ppm
this is correct for the pearson mastering chemistry question
PH=-log[H⁺]
pH=-log(1.87×10⁻¹³)
pH=12.72
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
