A 0.500-g sample of chromium metal reacted with sulfur powder to give 0.963 g of product. Calculate the empirical formula of the chromium sulfide.

The empirical formula for the given compound is

Explanation : Given,

Mass of product = 0.963 g

Mass of Cr = 0.500 g

Mass of S = 0.963 g  - 0.500 g = 0.463 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Cr =

Moles of S =

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.00962 moles.

For Cr =

For S =

To make in a whole number we are multiplying the ratio by 2, we get:

The ratio of Cr : S = 1 : 1.5

The ratio of Cr : S = 2 : 3

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Cr : S = 2 : 3

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is

odds are decent that your handwriting right now looks a little bit different than it did five years ago, and will look different again in five more. when i look back through my notebooks from middle school to now, i see a long, slow progression from meticulous and teeny letters to bigger, sloppier ones, plus a few side detours: sometime in high school, for example, i decided those loopy cursive lowercase f’s were just the coolest, adopting them as the lone rep for cursive in my otherwise all-print handwriting.

explanation:

the temperature of the gas, in k, not celsius.
