Answer:
I believe it is 3 and 4. I really hope it is but i am positive :)
The chemical formula for the compound containing 8.6 mol of sulfur and 3.42 mol of phosphorus is P₂S₅
<h3>How do I determine the formula of the compound?</h3>
From the question given above, the following data were obatined:
- Sulphur (S) = 8.6 moles
- Phosphorus (P) = 3.42 mole
- Chemical formula =?
The chemical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:
Divide by their molar mass
S = 8.6 / 32 = 0.26875
P = 3.42 / 31 = 0.11032
Divide by the smallest
S = 0.26875 / 0.11032 = 2.44
P = 0.11032 / 0.11032 = 1
Multiply by 2 to express in whole number
S = 2.44 × 2 = 5
P = 1 × 2 = 2
Thus, the chemical formula is P₂S₅

#SPJ1
Mass of CO₂ evolved : 0.108 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
1.205g sample, 36% MgCO3 and 44% K2CO3
Required
mass of CO2
Solution
0.36 x 1.205 g=0.4338 g
mass C in MgCO₃(MW MgCO₃=84 g/mol, Ar C = 12/gmol)
= (12/84) x 0.4338
= 0.062 g
0.44 x 1.205 g = 0.5302 g
Mass C in K₂CO₃(MW=138 g/mol) :
= (12/138) x 0.5302
= 0.046 g
Total mass Of CO₂ :
= 0.062 + 0.046
= 0.108 g
