Determine the empirical formula for compounds that have the following analyses. a. 28.4% copper, 71.6% bromine b. 39.0% potassium, 12.0% carbon, 1.01% hydrogen, and 47.9% oxygen c. 77.3% silver, 7.4% phosphorus, 15.3% oxygen d. 0.57% hydrogen, 72.1% iodine, 27.3% oxygen

See explanation

Explanation:

Cu- 28.4/63.5, Br- 71.6/80

Cu- 0.447/0.447, Br- 0.895/0.447

Cu- 1, Br - 2

Empirical formula = CuBr2

b)

K- 39.0/39, C-12.0/12, H- 1.01/1, O- 47.9/16

K= 1, C-1, H- 1. O-3

Empirical formula= KHCO3

c)

Ag- 77.3/108, P-7.4/31, O-15.3/16

Ag-0.716/0.239, P- 0.239/0.239, O-0.956/0.239

Ag-3, P-1, O-4

Empirical formula= Ag3PO4

d)

H-0.57/1, I- 72.1/127, O-27.3/16

H- 0.57/0.57, I- 0.57/0.57, O-1.71/0.57

H-1, I-1, O- 3

Empirical formula= HIO3

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.
