To get the empirical formula, we need to know the ratio of the moles of both lead and sulfur.

First, lets get the mass of each:
mass of lead = mass of evaporating dish and lead - mass of empty dish
                     = <span>26.927  - 25.000  = 1.927 gm of lead (Pb)
mass of sulfur = mass of dish and lead sulfide - mass of dish and lead
                       = </span><span>27.485  - 26.927  = 0.558 gm of sulfur (S)

The next step is to get the number of moles in 1.927 gm of Pb and in 0.558 gm of S:
From the periodic table:
molar mass of lead = </span>207.2 gm<span>
molar mass of sulfur = 32 gm

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles of Pb = 1.927 / 207.2 = </span>0.0093 moles<span>
number of moles of S = 0.558 / 32 = </span><span>0.0174 moles

The third step is to get the ratio between the moles by dividing the number of moles of each by the smaller of the two:
1 mole of Pb (</span>0.0093 / 0.0093) reacts with 0.0174 / 0.0093 = 1.99 (approximately 2 moles) of sulfur.

Final step is to write the empirical formula based on the ratio:
Lead sulfide compound is written as : PbS2

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer;

The partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation;

Water is a polar molecule because the electrons are not shared equally, they're closer to the oxygen atom than the hydrogen.

-Normally, the water molecule is a bent shape because of the pair of lone electrons - they repulse each other and exert a compression to the hydrogen atoms at a slight 104º angle. It is a bent molecular geometry that results from tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

-The 2 lone electron pairs exerts a little extra repulsion on the two bonding hydrogen atoms to create a slight compression to a 104 degrees bond angle. Therefore, the water molecule is bent molecular geometry because the lone electron pairs.

Thus, If water were a linear molecule like co2, electrostatic interactions between water molecules would be much weaker, then the partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.

sattari [20]

Answer:

Step 1;

q = w = -0.52571 kJ, ΔS = 0.876 J/K

Step 2

q = 0, w = ΔU = -7.5 kJ, ΔH = -5.00574 kJ

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

P_i = 100 N·m

T_i = 327 K

P_f = 90 N·m

Step 1

For isothermal expansion, we have;

ΔU = ΔH = 0

w = n·R·T·ln(P_f/P_i) = 1 × 8.314 × 600.15 × ln(90/100) = -525.71

w ≈<em> -0.52571</em> kJ

At state 1, q = w = -0.52571 kJ

ΔS = -n·R·ln(P_f/P_i) = -1 × 8.314 × ln(90/100) ≈ 0.876

ΔS ≈ 0.876 J/K

Step 2

q = 0 for adiabatic process

ΔU = 25×(27 - 327) = -7,500

w = ΔU = <em>-7.5 kJ</em>

ΔH = ΔU + n·R·ΔT

ΔH = -7,500 + 8.3142 × 300 = -5,005.74

ΔH = ΔU = <em>-5.00574 kJ</em>
