IIRC it's reducing Say you have C6H14 You'd reduce that from 6:14 to 3:7 I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 It's the empirical formula (not imperial) and it is as said before, like reducing a fraction of 3/6ths to 1/2. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 we have to do some math equation to get it though like 3.6g of carbo, .9 hydrogen and 2.4g of oxygen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logic-is-overrated Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 we have to do some math equation to get it though like 3.6g of carbo, .9 hydrogen and 2.4g of oxygenWhat exactly is the question? If you're given elemental composition then you don't just divide you have to go through conversions and moles and stuff like that. This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 we have to do some math equation to get it though like 3.6g of carbo, .9 hydrogen and 2.4g of oxygen Find the moles of carbon (3.6g Carbon/ 12g/mol Carbon), hydrogen, and oxygen. Then use the ratios. I'm not going ot give any more help because you need to learn this yourself... you won't have a forum to bail you out on a test.

stevepole Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 thanks insane thats the help i need. and the only reason im asking this question on tipit is cause i didnt want to cheat off my brother who finished the worksheet. or get my teacher to explain the whole problem till he gives me the answer and not learn how to get the answer by myself so i could remember it alot easier with out looking at my notes the whole time and not be lost on a test without my notes. Along with the fact that i wanted to make sure i was doing the problems right which it turns out i was doing it right So THANKS TO WHO EVER HELP ME.
