in order to determine empirical formula we have to determine the mole ratio of the given elements
Let the total mass of the compound is 100g
as given that the compound has 40% sulfur , so mass of sulfur = 40g
as given that the compound has 60% oxygen, so mass of oxygen = 60g
let us calculate the moles of each element
Moles of sulfur = mass / atomic mass = 40 / 32 = 1.25
moles of oxygen = mass / atomic mass = 60/ 16 = 3.75
In order to get simple ratio of moles we will divide both the moles with least number of moles which is 1.25
moles of sulfur = 1.25 / 1.25 = 1
moles of oxygen = 3.75 /1.25 = 3
So empirical formula will be SO₃
Answer:
a, b, c, d
Explanation:
Rutherford’ atomic model is based on the gold foil experiment. In this experiment, beam of alpha rays was bombarded on thin gold foil. He observed that:
Most of the alpha particles passed through thin foil without any deflection.
Few alpha particles deflected by an angle of 90o.
Based on observation, Rutherford concluded that majority of the space inside the atom is empty.
He explained defection of few alpha particles by assuming that most of the mass is concentrated at the nucleus and positively charged.
Therefore, among given, the correct statements are:
The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.
Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.
The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space
The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus
Therefore, the correct options are:
a, b, c, d
An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit The word was coined by William Wheel at the request of the scientist Michael Faraday from the Greek words electron, meaning amber and hods, a way.
