This is how you convert gallons to liters.

Gallon is a volumetric unit.
1 gallon equals 3.785 liters
So, you create this conversion factor: 1 gal = 3.785 liter ⇒ 1 = 3.785 liter / 1 gallon.
Therefore, you can multiply any amount in gallons by the conversion factor and get the equivalent amoun in liters.
Examples:

1 gallon = 1 gallon × 3.785 liter / gallon = 3.785 liter
3 gallon = 3 gallon × 3.785 liter / gallon = 11.355 liter
15.25 gallon = 14.25 gallon × 3.785 liter / gallon = 53.936 liter

You find a compound composed only of element X and chlorine and you know that the compound is 13.10% X by mass. Each molecule of

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

So, the formula for the compound should be:

$XCl_{6}$

Now we assume that we have 1 mol of substance, so we can make calculations to know the molar mass of element X, as follows:

$M_{Cl}=35.45g/mol\\$

So we have that 6 moles weight 212.7g, and we can make a rule of three to know the weight of compound X:

$212.7g\rightarrow 86.9\%\\x\rightarrow 13.1\%\\\\x=\frac{212.7g*13.1}{86.9} =32.06g$

As we used 1 mol, we know that the molar mass is 32.06g/mol

So the element has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol and an oxidation state of +6, with this information, we can assure that the element X is sulfur, so the compound is $SCl_{6}$
