DETERMINING CHEMICAL FORMULAS PROMPT:
In this lesson, you learned about the empirical formula and how it is related to molecular formulas. Now you will demonstrate this knowledge by responding to the following prompt. Make sure you are showing all of your work. A compound containing sodium, chlorine, and oxygen is 25.42% sodium by mass. A 3.25 g sample gives 4.33 × 1022 atoms of oxygen. Explain the steps you need to take to find the empirical formula with the given information, then find the empirical formula."Make sure to show your work, and your answers should be provided with the correct amount of significant figures." YOU WILL RECEIVE A SCORE REDUCTION IF THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT MET.
