Complete A and B to anser question 1.
a.)A sample of bismuth weighing 0.687 g was converted to bismuth chloride by reacting it first with HNO3, and then with HCl, followed by careful evaporation to dryness. The mass of the bismuth chloride obtained was 1.032 g.
What is the empirical formula of bismuth chloride?
You won't be able to make the numbers a subscript. For instance, for MgCl2 enter MgCl2.
b.) For the previous bismuth chloride question (Question 3), what is the theoretical percent of Bi in the bismuth chloride, based on the empirical formula?
Calculate the percent composition. Give the correct number of sig figs in your answer. Give only the numerical answer in the space provided.
1.) What is the percent error in the previous 2 problems by comparing the experimental and theoretical percent of Bi?
Give only the numerical answer in the space provided. Give the correct number of sig figs in all your answers.
