A compound's empirical formula tells you what the smallest whole number ratio between the atoms that make up that compound is.

I think of the empirical formula as a building block for molecules. A compound's molecular formula will depend on how many building blocks are needed to build a molecule of a given substance.

In your example, you know that the empirical formula of the compound is

NO

2

.

This tells you that the minimum ratio between nitrogen atoms and oxygen atoms is

1

:

2

. In other words, the molecular formula will be a multiple of this building block.

molecular formula

=

empirical formula

×

n

, where

n

- the number of building blocks needed to build the molecular formula.

You also know that the molar mass of your compound is

92 g/mol

.

This means that the molar mass of all the atoms that make up that molecule must add up to give

92 g/mol

.

So, how would you determine how many building blocks you need? Well, start by figuring out the molar mass of one building block, i.e. the molar mass of the empirical formula.

Since it contains one nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms, you will get

1

14.0067 g/mol

2

15.9994 g/mol

=

46.0055 g/mol

So, if one building block has a molar mass of

46.0055 g/mol

, how many would you need to get the molecule?

46.0055 g/mol

⋅

n

=

92 g/mol

n

=

g/mol

46.0055

g/mol

=

≈

This means that the compound's molecular formula, which lists all the atoms that make up a molecule, will be

Why is not used at nuclear plant as a soverce for electrical energy
nikitadnepr [17]
The biggest reason is radioactive wastes. Nuclear power generated radioactive wastes like Uranimum, plutonium and amercium that inhibits gene expression and causes cancer to the environment. Nuclear plants use to release these wastes into the oceans, and it causes fishes to exhibit gender change, 3 eyes, 2 tails etc. The impact on human shows signs of serious blood, liver and lung cancers. 

There are currently no way to get rid of these wastes as they take hundred thousands of years to decompose. 

Another reason is they cause a small amount of green gas emission. Releases CO2 to the sky. They exhibit radioactive gas emission as well (causes cancer) .

What are the equilibrium concentrations of pb2+ and f– in a saturated solution of lead(ii) fluoride if the ksp of pbf2 is 3.20×1
erica [24]
Answer is:  the equilibrium concentrations fluorine anion are 0.004 M and lead cation are 0.002 M.<span>
Chemical reaction: PbF</span>₂(aq) → Pb²⁺(aq) + 2F⁻(aq).<span>
Ksp = 3,2·10</span>⁻⁸.
[Pb²⁺] = x.
[F⁻] = 2[Pb²⁺] = 2x<span>
Ksp = [Pb²</span>⁺] · [F⁻]².
Ksp = x · 4x².
3,2·10⁻⁸ = 4x³.
x = ∛3,2·10⁻⁸ ÷ 4.
x = [Pb²⁺] = 0,002M = 2·10⁻³ M.
[F⁻] = 2 · 0,002M = 0,004 M = 4·10⁻³ M.

Balance the equation for the reaction of benzene and hydrogen to form cyclohexane.. C6H6 + H2 → C6H12.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Here is a universal law to balance chemical equations :
All chemical equations must be balanced because of the law of conservation of mass.
It states that "matter cannot be created or destroyed."
So, the number of atoms that you start with at the beginning of the reaction must equal the number of atoms that you end up with.
 keeping this law in our mind,lets balance the<span> equation for the reaction of benzene and hydrogen to form cyclohexane.

Here is the balance chemical equation.
</span><span>2 C 6 H 6 + 6 H 2 → 2 C 6 H 12.</span>
