How to work out the empirical formula
Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem.
Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table.
Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.
Round to the nearest whole number. This is the mole ratio of the elements and is.
Test for carbon dioxide
The limewater goes cloudy
Copper oxide
CuO
Chlorine
Cl
What is the mass number of an element
The total number of protons and neutrons
What is the atomic number of an element
The number of protons found in the nucleus
What is ionic bonding
Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds. It is one of the main bonds along with Covalent bond and Metallic bonding.
What is the equilibrium
a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.
Why do we use it
In equilibrium,not all the reactants are converted into products.The forced acting on the system remains constant in equilibrium. This helps us to understand the nature of the reaction.
Describe an atom
Nucleus,protons,electrons,neutrons and the atom itself
Test for oxygen
Oxygen supports combustion so a good method of testing for oxygen is to take a glowing splint and place it in a sample of gas, if it re-ignites the gas is oxygen. This is a simple but effective test for oxygen.
