Find the empirical formula of each of the following compounds. given mass or for each element in a sample of the compound 3,611 g ca; 6.389 g c1

CaCl₂  

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Ca to Cl.

Data:

Mass of Ca = 3.611 g

Mass of Cl = 6.389 g

Calculations

Step 1. Calculate the moles of each element

Moles of Ca = 3.611 g Ca × (1 mol Ca/(40.08 g Ca)= 0.090 10 mol Ca

Moles of Cl = 6.389 g Cl  

Step 2. Calculate the molar ratio of the elements

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles

Ca:Cl = 0.090 10:0.1802 = 1:2.000

Step 3. Round the molar ratios to the nearest integer

Ca:Cl = 1:2.000 ≈ 1:2

Step 4: Write the empirical formula

EF = CaCl₂

h let me think

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.
