a sample of solid is decomposed and found to contain 6.52g of potassium, 4.34 g of chromium and 5.34 of oxygen, what is the empirical formula of the compound? help asap

K₂CrO₅

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. To find the empirical formula, we follow the procedure below:

Elements                         Potassium                 Chromium         Oxygen

Mass                                  6.52                             4.34                  5.34

Molar mass                          39                               60                      16

Number of moles             6.52/39                     4.34/60             5.34/16

                                             0.167                          0.072              0.333

Divide through by

the smallest                      0.167/0.072             0.072/0.072          0.333/0.072

                                            2.3                               1                                4.6

                                             2                                 1                                  5

Empirical formula K₂CrO₅

cytokinesis is the splitting of a cell membrane to form 2 identical daughter cells. it's similar to mitosis as both cells have identical copies of dna and cytokinesis is a step in the mitotic cycle.

oxygen, selenium, tellurium, and polonium.

they're all from the same group as sulfur (group 16).
