Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The empirical formula of the original compound is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The empirical formula of a compound gives the ratio of the elements present in the compound. The empirical formula does not represent the actual number of elements in the compound. The empirical formula of a compound is considered by taking the ratio of elements present in the compound.

- Two general chemistry students working together in the lab weigh out 0.832 g of CaCl2 2 H2O into a crucible. After heating the sample for a short time and allowing the crucible to cool, the students determine that the sample has a mass of 0.739 g. They then do a quick calculation. On the basis of this calculation, what should they do next? (a) Congratulate themselves on a job well done. (b) Assume the bottle of CaCl2 2 H2O was mislabeled; it actually contained something different. (c) Heat the crucible again, and then reweigh it.arrow_forwardConsider the chemical reaction 2 S + 3 O2 → 2 SO3.
