Asample of an unknown compound contains 82.63% c, and 17.37% h. determine the empirical formula.

The actual amount of substance doesn’t matter for this problem, so assume an easy mass of compound using the percentages: 82.63 g C and 17.37 g H. There is also no need to worry about significant figures in an empirical formula problem.

Find the number of moles of each element:

Find the ratio of the elements, and simplify until there are whole numbers that you can put into the empirical formula.

There are 5 mol H for every 2 mol C, so the empirical formula should be .

answer: you could do some invislibe ink.

explanation: i will tell you how to if u answer my question.

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of c is as shown here in the image.
