Question

Two elements R and Q combine to form two binary compounds. In the first compound, 23.3 g of R combines with 3.00 g of Q. In the second compound, 7.00 g    of R combines with 4.50 g of Q. If the formula of the second compound is RQ,          determine the formula of the first compound.
Two elements R and Q combine to form two binary compounds. In the first compound, 23.3 g of R combines with 3.00 g of Q. In the second compound, 7.00 g    of R combines with 4.50 g of Q. If the formula of the second compound is RQ,          determine the formula of the first compound.

Explanation / Answer

4.50 g. of Q combines with 7.00 g. of R to form RQ

1.00 g. of Q combines with 1.56 g. of R to form RQ

Then,

3.00 g. of Q combines with 23.3 g. of R

1.00 g. of Q combines with 7.77 g. of R

Then the ratio of R in two compounds is 7.77 / 1.56 = 4.98 = 5 (approxi.)

Therfore, Formula of first compound is R5Q
