What is the nh brickell formula of a compound that contains 3.609 g calcium and 6.384 g chlorine by mass

CaCl₂

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium = 3.609 g

Mass of chlorine = 6.384 g

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of calcium:

Number of moles of calcium = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of calcium = 3.609 g/ 40 g/mol

Number of moles of calcium = 0.090 mol

Number of moles of chlorine:

Number of moles of chlorine = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of chlorine = 6.384 g/ 35.5 g/mol

Number of moles of chlorine = 0.18 mol

                    Ca                 :               Cl

            0.090/0.090        :               0.18/ 0.090

                      1                   :               2

Empirical formula:

CaCl₂

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
