Document Summary

5. 018g of it is found to contain 2. 351g of copper and 2. 667g of chlorine. Chloride of copper is analyzed, and 5. 018g of it is found to contain 2. 351g of copper and 2. 667g of chlorine. The number of moles of each element is calculated as followed: Divide each of these numbers by the smaller one gives a ratio of 1. 000 cu to. 2. 033 cl, which within experimental error, corresponds to the simplest formula of: Cucl2: the simplest formula gives only the integral proportion of the constituent atoms. In order to decide upon the correct molecular formula of a substance, we must have experimental evidence of the true molar mass, as well as the percent composition. Part i: a chloride of silver: heat, cool and then weigh a clean evaporating dish, add approx. 0. 5 1g of dry, pure silver metal and weigh it again: dissolve the silver in the dish by the addition of 4 ml of dilute (6m) hno3.
