2. A sample contains 2596 g of indium and 2404 g chlorine. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Answer:

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

explanation:

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.

It is a body of knowledge gained  using  inquiry and experimentation 

First up write the aim
then write the materials reqd.
then the procedure which you follow
then observation
then conclusion
then you can write lab safety rules or precautions(you can avoid if u want).
lemme' give an example
aim: to observe the double displacement reaction
materials reqd: bacl2 and na2so4, test tubes and a dropper
procedure:
1. take bacl2 in a test tube and na2so4 in the other.
2. then pour bacl2 into na2so4 solution.
3. observe
observation:
you will see that a white precipitate is formed called baso4. along with that common salt or nacl is formed.
the equation is
bacl2+na2so4=baso4+2nacl
conclusion:
a double displacement reaction is observed.
hope it
