A 19.13 gram sample of chromium is heated in the presence of excess bromine. A metal bromide is formed with a mass of 77.92 g. Determine the empirical formula of the metal bromide.

The empirical formula of the compound is .

Explanation:

Mass of chromium = 19.13 g

Mass metal bromide formed = 77.92 g

Mass of bromine in metal bromide = 77.92 g - 19.13 g = 58.79 g

Moles of chromium metal :

Moles of bromine:

For empirical formula divide the smallest number of moles of element from the all the moles of elements:

chromium :

bromine :

The empirical formula of the compound is .

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
