Answer:
The empirical formula is, C4H4S
Explanation:
Number of moles of carbon = 1.119 g/ 44g/mol = 0.025 moles
Mass of Carbon= 0.025 moles × 12 g/ mole = 0.3 g
Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.229/18g/mol × 2 = 0.025 moles
Mass of hydrogen = 0.025 moles × 1 = 0.025 g
Number of moles of sulphur = 0.407g/ 64 g/mol = 0.0064 moles
Mass of sulphur= 0.0064 moles ×32 = 0.2 g
Now we obtain the mole ratios by dividing through by the lowest ratio.
C- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, H- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, S- 0.0064 moles/0.0064 moles
C4H4S
The answer is b, because all of the other compounds are covelent
Answer:
The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century.
The basic steps of the scientific method are:
1) investigation
2) hypothesis
3) interpretation
4) conclusions
