Adipic acid is an organic compound composed of \(49.31 \% \mathrm{C}\). \(43.79 \% \mathrm{O}\), and the rest hydrogen. If the molar mass of adipic acid is \(146.1 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}\), what are the empirical and molecular formulas for adipic acid?
When aluminum metal is heated with an element from Group \(6 \mathrm{~A}\) of the periodic table, an ionic compound forms. When the experiment is performed with an unknown Group \(6 \mathrm{~A}\) element, the product is \(18.56 \%\) Al by mass. What is the formula of the compound?
Balance the following equations: a. \(\mathrm{Cr}(s)+\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{s}}(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{3}(s)\) b. \(\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}(s) \stackrel{\text { Heat }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)\) c. \(\mathrm{KClO}_{3}(s) \stackrel{\text { Heat }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{KCl}(s)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\) d. \(\operatorname{Eu}(s)+\mathrm{HF}(g) \rightarrow \operatorname{EuF}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)\)
Consider the following unbalanced equation: \(\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaSO}_{4}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}(a q)\) What masses of calcium sulfate and phosphoric acid can be produced from the reaction of \(1.0 \mathrm{~kg}\) calcium phosphate with \(1.0\) \(\mathrm{kg}\) concentrated sulfuric acid \(\left(98 \% \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\right.\) by \(\left.\mathrm{mass}\right)\) ?
Determine the molecular formulas to which the following empirical formulas and molar masses pertain. a.
