Answer from: calvinpaul1966

Answer is: c. Fe₃O₄.
ω(Fe) = 72,360%.
ω(O) = 100% - 72,36% = 27,64%.
For example, if we the mass of compound is 100 g:
m(Fe) = 72,36 g.
n(Fe) = m(Fe) ÷ M(Fe).
n(Fe) = 72,36 g ÷ 55,85 g/mol.
n(Fe) = 1,296 mol.
n(O) = 27,64 g ÷ 16 g/mol.
n(O) = 1,727 mol.
n(Fe) : n(O) = 1,296 mol : 1,727 mol.
n(Fe) : n(O) = 1 : 1,33 or 3 : 4.

Answer from: guzmangisselle

Option C. The percentages can be taken for mass. So mass of Iron = 72.360% = 72.36g So mass of Oxygen = 100 - 72.360 = 27.694% = 27.65g Number of moles of Iron = mass/ molar mass = 72.36/ 55.854 = 1.29 Number of moles of Oxygen = 27.65/16 = 1 .728 We shall divide by the smallest So we have 1.29/1.29 = 1 while 1.728/1.29 = 1.33 But 1.33 = 4/3. So we multiply by the lowest common number which happens to be a 3. Hence the empirical formula is Fe3O4.

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
