Answer:

The empirical formula is the simplest form;

Given:

Oxygen O at 94.1% and

H at 5.9%

Assume 100grams.

94% = 0.941 x 100gm. = 94.1 gm x 1mole/16gm. = 5.88 moles of O

5.9% = 0.059 x 100gm. = 5.9gm. X 1moleH/1.002gm. = 5.88 moles of H

There is one mole of O for each mole of H so the empirical formula is O_1H_1

and written as OH.

Explanation:

given \: that \: oxygen \: by \: 94.1\% (.941)\\ hydrogen \: by5.9\%(.059) \\ in \: 100gram \:  \\ oxygen = 100 g\times .941 = 94.1 \times  \frac{1(mol)}{16g}  \\  = 5.88moles \: of \: oxygen \\ in \: hydrogen \:  = .059\times 100 = 5.9 \times  \frac{1mol}{1.002gram} \\   = 5.88mole \: of \: hydrogen \\  \: so \: here \:  \: both \: oxygen \: andhydrogen = 5.88 \\their \: ratio = 1 \: 1  \\ so \: emparical \: formula = oh \\ thank \: you

A 17g sample of H2O2 was decomposed to yield 1g of H2 and 16g of O2 An unknown sample containing only H and O was decomposed to
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Our H_2O_2 sample yielded 1g of H_2 and 16g of O_2, but our unknown sample yielded 2 times as much H_2  for the same amount of O_2.

What does this mean? that the H:O proportion for the unknown sample is twice the H:O proportion for the H_2O_2 sample.

What is the  H:O proportion for the H_2O_2 sample? As we can see from its formula, it's 1:1, therefore the proportion for the unknown formula must be 2:1.

That means, two H atoms for every O atom. We could write that as: H_2O and you should recognize that formula, for it is one of the most common compounds on earth, Water.

Which is a pure substance?<br> soda<br> gasoline<br> salt water<br> carbon dioxide
hram777 [196]

Answer: Carbon dioxide is a pure substance.

Explanation: A pure substance is defined when a substance has a single type of molecule. If more than 1 type of molecule is present in a substance, then it is considered as a mixture.

  • Soda is basically a mixture of water and carbon dioxide. More than 1 type of molecule is present.
  • Gasoline is a mixture of may gases. More than 1 type of molecule is present.
  • Salt water contains salt and water molecules, hence it is considered as a mixture.
  • Carbon dioxide has only 1 type of molecule which is CO_2 molecules. Hence, it is a pure substance.
