1. empirical formula for Cu2o4?

2. empirical formula for Zn3(NO3)4?

3. empirical formula for Ti2S2.5?

4. what is the molecular formula if the molar mass = 112.04 g/mol and the empirical mass of CO is 28.01 g/mol?

5. Empirical formula if you have 0.631m Cr & 1.90mol Cl?

Respuesta :

We know that

1) empirical formula of a compound is the representation of a molecules with the elements in simplest mole ratio.

2) the molar mass is the actual proportion of moles of elements present in a molecule

3) there is a simple ratio between the molar mass and empirical mass a molecule

Now let us solve each problem

1) empirical formula of [tex]Cu_{2}O_{4}[/tex] will be [tex]CuO_{2}[/tex]

2) empirical formula of [tex]Zn_{3}(NO_{3})_{4}[/tex] will be [tex]Zn_{3}(NO_{3})_{4}[/tex]

3) empirical formula of [tex]Ti_{2}S_{2.5}[/tex] will be [tex]Ti_{4}S_{5}[/tex]

4) the molecular formula will be :

[tex]Ratio=\frac{molarmass}{empiricalformula}=\frac{112.04}{28.01}=4[/tex]

the molecular formula = 4 X empirical formula = 4 X CO = [tex]C_{4}O_{4}[/tex]

5) the mole ratio of Cl and Cr is [tex]\frac{1.90}{0.631}=3[/tex]

empirical formula will be [tex]CrCl_{3}[/tex]
