QUESTION:
Arrange the compounds in order of decreasing formula mass.
\(\mathrm{WO}_{2}, \mathrm{Rb}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}, \mathrm{~Pb}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right)_{2} \text {, } \mathrm{RbI}\)
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
We will be arranging the compounds Tungsten Dioxide, Rubidium Sulfate, Lead Acetate, and Rubidium Iodide based on their molecular weights. To do this, it's essential to understand the concept of molecular weight. It's the sum of the atomic weights of all the atoms present in a compound's simplest formula.
