Un compuesto tiene la siguiente composición en tanto por cien: 19,3% de Na, y 26,9% de S y 53,8% de O. Su peso molecular es 238.Calcula la fórmula molecular

Explanation:

Asúmase que existen 100 gramos de compuesto, las cantidades molares de cada componente son, respectivamente: (Let assume that exist 100 grams of the composite, the molar quantities of each component are, respectively:)

Na

S

O

La fórmula molecular empírica es (The empirical molecular formula is):

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is
