Answer:

The empirical formula = the simplest formula of this compound is SOCl2

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Suppose the mass of the compound is 100 grams

The compound contains:

⇒ 26.95 % sulfur = 26.95 grams

⇒ 59.61 % chlorine = 59.61 grams

⇒ 100 - 26.95 - 59.61 = 13.44 % oxygen = 13.44 grams

Molar mass of sulfur = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of chlorine = 35.45 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles Sulfur = 26.95 grams / 32.065 g/mol = 0.8405 moles

Moles chlorine = 59.61 grams / 35.45 g/mol = 1.682 moles

Moles oxygen = 13.44 grams / 16 g/mol = 0.84 moles

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.8405/0.84 = 1

Cl = 1.682 / 0.84 = 2

O = 0.84 / 0.84 = 1

The empirical formula = the simplest formula of this compound is SOCl2

Answer:

SCl₂

Explanation:

In order to know the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass

S: 26.95/32.07 = 0.8403

Cl: 59.61/35.45 = 1.682

Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one.

S: 0.8403/0.8403 = 1

Cl: 1.682/0.8403 ≈ 2

The empirical formula of the compound is SCl₂.

When an arrhenius base is placed in h20 the only negative ion present in the solution is?
melamori03 [73]
According to Arrhenius theory of acid and base, Acids are those substances which when dissolved in water produces protons, while, Bases are those substances which when dissolved in water produces Hydroxyl Ions.

Example of Arrhenius Bases:

                         
NaOH ₍s₎ → Na⁺ ₍aq₎  +  ⁻OH ₍aq₎

                         LiOH ₍s₎ → Li⁺ ₍aq₎  +   ⁻OH ₍aq₎
Result:
           The only negative ion produced in water when Arrhenius Base is dissolved is ⁻OH (Hydroxyl Ion).

A reaction at -6.0 °C evolves 786. mmol of sulfur tetrafluoride gas. Calculate the volume of sulfur tetrafluoride gas that is co
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

V of Sulfur tetrafluoride is  17.2 L

Explanation:

Given data;

T = -6°C =  267K                                [1° C  = 273 K]

n = 786 mmol of SF4 which is 0.786 mol

P = 1 atm

from ideal gas law  we have

PV = nRT

where n is mole, R is gas constant, V is volume

V = \frac{nRT}{P}V = \frac{0.786 mol \times 0.082 atmL/mol K \times* 267K}{1atm} = 17.2 L

V of Sulfur tetrafluoride is  17.2 L
