Answer:

Although the terms mass percent and percent composition are used interchangeably, they are different terms. The mass percent refers to the percentage of a component in a mixture, while the percent composition refers to the percentage of a particular chemical element in a mixture.

The characteristic odor of pineapple is due to ethyl butyrate, an organic compound which contains only carbon, hydrogen and oxyg
Trava [24]

Answer:

C3H6O

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Carbon (C) = 0.62069 g

Hydrogen (H) = 0.103448 g

Oxygen (O) = 0.275862 g

The empirical formula can be obtained as follow:

Step 1:

Divide by their molar mass.

C = 0.62069 / 12 = 0.0517

H = 0.103448 / 1 = 0.103448

O = 0.275862 / 16 = 0.0172

Step 2:

Divide by the smallest number.

C = 0.0517 / 0.0172 = 3

H = 0.103448 / 0.0172 = 6

O = 0.0172 / 0.0172 = 1

Step 3:

Writing the empirical formula.

The empirical formula is C3H6O

When the reaction shown is correctly balanced, the coefficients are: kclo3 → kcl + o2?
notka56 [123]
From the balanced equation 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, the coefficients are the following:
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chloride KCl 
coefficient 3 in front of oxygen molecule O2

We got this balanced equation by identifying the number of atoms of each element that we have in the given equation KClO3 → KCl + O2.
Looking at the subscripts of each atom on the reactant side and on the product side, we have
     KClO3 → KCl + O2
       K=1          K=1
       Cl=1         Cl=1
       O=3          O=2

We can see that the oxygens are not balanced. We add a coefficient 2 to the 3 oxygen atoms on the left side and another coefficient 3 to the 2 oxygen 
atoms on the right side to balance the oxygens:
     2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
The coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3 multiplied by the subscript 3 of the oxygen atoms on the left side indicates 6 oxygen atoms just as the coefficient 3 multiplied by the subscript 2 on the right side indicates 6 oxygen atoms.

The number of potassium K atoms and chloride Cl atoms have changed as well:
     2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
       K=2            K=1
       Cl=2          Cl=1
       O=6           O=6

We now have two potassium K atoms and two chloride Cl atoms on the reactant side, so we add a coefficient 2 to the potassium chloride KCl on the product side: 
     2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, which is our final balanced equation.
        K=2           K=2
        Cl=2          Cl=2
        O=6           O=6
The potassium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms are now balanced.
