Empirical formula of a compound composed of 32.1 g potassium (k) and 6.57 g oxygen (o)?

The empirical formula is K₂O.

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of K to O.

Step 1. Calculate the moles of each element

Moles of K = 32.1 g K × (1 mol K/(39.10 g K =) = 0.8210 mol K

Moles of O = 6.57 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 0.4106 mol 0

Step 2. Calculate the molar ratio of each element

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer

K:O = 0.8210:0.4106 = 1.999:1 ≈ 2:1

Step 3: Write the empirical formula

EF = K₂O

your answers are a,b,,e and f
