Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 2.6444g of gold
and 0.476g of chlorine.

AuCl

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Gold  = 2.6444g

Mass of Chlorine  = 0.476g

Unknown:

Empirical formula  = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. Here is the way of determining this formula.

Elements                                     Au                                             Cl

Mass                                         2.6444                                     0.476

Molar mass                                 197                                          35.5

Number of moles                  2.6444/197                                 0.476/35.5

                                                 0.013                                           0.013

Divide by the

smallest                                 0.013/0.013                                 0.013/0.013

                                                       1                                                   1

The empirical formula of the compound is AuCl

i believe you are right for all except the 3rd ( look at sqdancefan his answer is much better)

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
