Empirical formula is calculated as follows
calculate the moles of each element, that is % composition/ molar mass
molar masses ( Si= 28.09g/mol , Cl= 35.5 g/mol, I=126.9 g/mol)
moles of silicon = 7.962/28.09g/mol= 0.283 moles
moles of chlorine = 20.10 / 35.5g/mol = 0.566 moles
moles of iodine= 71.94 / 126.9 g/mol= 0.567 moles
divide each mole with smallest mole (0.283)
that is silicon = 0.283/0.283= 1 mole
chlorine = 0.566/0.283= 2 mole
Iodine= o.567/0.283= 2 moles
empirical formula is therefore= SiCl2I2
A B C these are the answers hopes this help <3
M(O₂)=20g
M(O₂)=32.0 g/mol
n(O₂)=20/32.0=0.625 mol
m(C)=12 g
M(C)=12.0 g/mol
n(C)=12/12.0=1.0 mol
2C + O₂ → 2CO
1 mol 0.625 mol 1 mol
0.625-0.5=0.125 mol
2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂
0.250 mol 0.125 mol 0.250 mol
n(CO)=1 mol - 0.250 mol = 0.750 mol
M(CO)=28.0 g/mol
m(CO)=0.750*28.0=21.0 g
n(CO₂)=0.250 mol
M(CO₂)=44.0 g/mol
m(CO₂)=0.250*44.0=11.0 g
