The empirical formula of the compound is calculated as follows
first calculate the mass of oxygen= 12-(4.09 +3.71)= 5.02g
then calculate the moles of each element, moles = mass/ molar mass
moles of K = 4.09g/39 g/mol(molar mass of K) = 0.105 moles
moles of Cl = 3.71g/35.5 g/mol(molar mass of Cl) = 0.105 moles
moles of O = 5.02g/ 16g/mol(molar mass of O) = 0.314 moles
then calculate e mole ratio by dividing each mole by the smallest number of moles ( 0.105 moles)
K=0.105/0.105= 1
Cl=0.105 /0.105=1
O= 0.314/0.105=3
therefore the empirical formula = KClO3
It is a physical change when cream mixes with
coffee, it changes the color of the coffee. When you add more or less cream there
is a color change depending on the consistency of cream. The
properties are not changes and a no new compound is formed as in chemical
change with a reaction of two compounds, a new compound is formed with
different properties. So it is a physical change.
Electrolytes are those which dissociates in solution and produces ions.
Ions can carry current,so Electrolytes conduct electiricity.
And non electrolytes are those which do not dissociate in solution and doesnt produce ions.
Since non electrolytes do not produce ions they cannot conduct electricity.
<u>Hence the right option is:</u>
B) Non-electrolytes dissolve and do not dissociate in water providing no charged ions to conduct electricity.
