Acompound is 12.7% al, 19.7% n, and 67.6% o. determine its emperical formula.

AlN₃O₉

Explanation:

Assume that you have 100 g of the compound.

Then you have 12.7 g Al, 19.7 g N, and 67.6 g O.

1. Calculate the moles of each atom

Moles of Al = 12.7 × 1/26.98 = 0.4707 mol Al

Moles of N = 19.7 × 1/14.01    =  1.406   mol N

Moles of O = 67.6 × 1/16.00  = 4.225   mol O

2. Calculate the molar ratios.

Al: 0.4707/0.4707 = 1

N: 1.406/0.4707    = 2.987

O: 4.225/0.4707   = 8.976

3. Determine the empirical formula

Round off all numbers to the closest integer.

Al: 1

N: 3

O: 9

The empirical formula is AlN₃O₉.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.

the answer is barium and copper bromide
