The % by weight of Cu in a salt with one Cu atom per formula unit is 33.9%. Calculate the formula weight

Answer 1

The formula weight of the salt is 187.46 g/mol.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the formula weight of the salt = M

Number of copper atom per formula unit = 1

Atomic mass of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Percentage of copper in single formula unit = 33.9%

Percentage of an element in a compound:

`\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}* \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass or formula weight of compound}}* 100`

`33.9\%=(1* 63.55 g/mol)/(M)* 100`

`M=(1* 63.55 g/mol)/(33.9)* 100`

M =187.46 g/mol

The formula weight of the salt is 187.46 g/mol.
