Chapter 7.5, Problem 7.45QAP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To determine the empirical formula of a compound having 70.9% K and 29.1% S atom.

Concept Introduction:

Steps to obtain empirical formula from given % of elements:

  • Assume the mass of compound be 100 g
  • Write the mass of each element in 100 g of compound that must be equal to given percentage in grams.
  • Divide mass of each element with their respective atomic mass in order to obtain the moles of each element.
  • Divide the number of moles of each element with the smallest number of moles.
  • Now, convert every number into a whole number by multiplying with an integer.
  • Interpretation Introduction
