Question
In the experiment 0.500 g of copper reacted with oxygen to give 0.563 g of copper oxide. What is the empirical formula of the oxide expressed as a chemical formula?
Answers
..........Cu + O2 ==> CuxOy
I.....0.500g...0.......0
C..............x.........
E.....0.500+x..-x.....0.563
Therefore, g Cu = 0.500
grams oxygen = 0.0.063
mols Cu = 0.500/atomic mass Cu = ?
mols O = 0.063/16 = ?
Now find the ratio of the mols to each other with the smaller number being 1.00.
Post your work if you get stuck.
