Calculate the empirical formula for each of the following substances. (Express answer as a chemical formula) 1) 2.90 g of Ag and 0.125 g of N 2) 2.22 g of Na and 1.55 g of S 3) 2.11 g of Na, 0.0900 g of H, 2.94 g of S, and 5.86 g of O 4) 1.84 g of K, 0.657 g of N, and 2.25 g of O

1) Ag3N

2)Na2S

3)NaHSO4

4) KNO3

Explanation:

We divide each mass by the element's relative atomic mass

1) 2.90/108-Ag, 0.125/14-N

0.027-Ag, 0.0089-N

Divide by the lowest ratio

0.027/0.0089-Ag, 0.0089/0.0089 N

3-Ag, 1-N

Empirical formula- Ag3N

2)2.22/23-Na, 1.55/32-S

0.097-Na, 0.048-S

Divide by the lowest ratio

0.097/0.048-Na, 0.048/0.048-S

2-Na, 1-S

Empirical formula- Na2S

3) 2.11/23-Na, 0.0900/1-H, 2.94/32-S,5.86/16-O

0.09-Na, 0.09-H, 0.09-S,0.366-O

Divide by the lowest ratio

0.09/0.09-Na, 0.09/0.09-H, 0.09/0.09-S, 0.366/0.09-O

1-Na, 1-H, 1-S, 4-O

Empirical formula- NaHSO4

4)1.84/39, 0.657/14-N, 2.25/16-O

0.047-K, 0.047-N, 0.14-O

Divide through by the lowest ratio

0.047/0.047-K, 0.047/0.047-N, 0.14/0.047-O

1-K, 1-N, O-3

Empirical formula- KNO3

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.

what is the question?
