Determine the empirical formula of the following compound if a sample contains 0.104 molk, 0.052 molc, and 0.156 molo.

The empirical formula is K₂CO₃.  

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:C:O.  

I like to summarize the calculations in a table.  

Element Moles  Ratio¹ Integers²  

     K       0.104   2.00         2

     C       0.052  1.00          1

     O      0.156   3.00         3

¹ To get the molar ratio, you divide each number of moles by the smallest number.  

² Round off the number in the ratio to integers to integers (2, 1, and 3).

The empirical formula is K₂CO₃.

i can ! i just need to know what the paragraph is! : p

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.

i think? ?
