The molar mass of element X is 42.3 grams per mol and the molar mass for element Y is Y 96.7 grams per mol. What is the empirical formula for a substance
containing a mass composition of 52.2% X and the remainder Y?

X5Y2

Explanation:

% composition of X = 52.2%

% composition of Y = (100 - 52.2) = 47.8%

This means that there are 52.2g of X and 47.8g of Y in the compound

To calculate the empirical formula of the compound, we first convert the gram value to mole value by dividing by their molar masses.

X = 52.2g/42.3g/mol = 1.234mol

Y = 47.8g/96.7g/mol = 0.494mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest value (0.494mol)

X = 1.234mol ÷ 0.494mol = 2.49

Y = 0.494mol ÷ 0.494mol = 1

We multiply each value by 2

X = 2.49 × 2 = 4.98

Y = 1 × 2 = 2

The simple ratio of X:Y is 5:2, hence, their empirical formula is X5Y2.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
