Moles S = 1/32
Moles O₂ = 1.5/32

simplest ratio = 1 : 1.5
= 2:3

Thus, empirical formula:
S₂O₃
The fourth option is correct.

S atom is twice as heavy as an oxygen atom ( O is 16 and S is 32)
let's assume that 1 Arbitrary unit of sulfur is 1g heavy. this would mean that 2 units of Oxygen is 1g heavy(since it's half as heavy as S when comparing equal number of atoms). since we have 1.5g of oxygen, so there are 1.5*2=3 units of oxygen in that sample. and there are 1*1=1 units of Sulfur in that sample.
therefore the empirical formula is SO3

What is true about the formation of a bond?
timama [110]

Answer:

There is an overall release of energy when bonds form.

Explanation:

There is a general release of energy when bonds form. This energy is called bond energy.

Bond energy is involved in the breakdown or formation of one or more bonds between atoms of a molecule. Atoms bond with each other to achieve their electronic stability, that is, they move from a higher energy situation to a lower energy one. With this we can state that when the bond between atoms is formed, energy is released; therefore, its breakdown depends on energy absorption.

Which type of substance is an electron-pair acceptor?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

A lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. A definition of a lewis acid is something that when dissolves in water produces hydrogen ions (protons). Hence, this positively charged particle can then accept non bonding electrons and can hence be called an electron pair acceptor.

Nady [450]

Answer:

200 mol

Explanation:

2C8H18+25O2=16CO2+18H2O

2 mol → 16 mol

25 mol → X mol

X=25×16÷2=200

How many grams of aluminum is produced when 82.4 grams of aluminum chloride
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

16.6 g of Al are produced in the reaction of 82.4 g of AlCl₃

Explanation:

Let's see the decomposition reaction:

2AlCl₃ →  2Al  + 3Cl₂

2 moles of aluminum chloride decompose to 2 moles of solid Al and 3 moles of chlorine gas.

We determine the moles of salt:

82.4 g . 1mol/ 133.34g = 0.618 moles

Ratio is 2:2. 2 moles of salt, can produce 2 moles of Al

Then, 0.618 moles of salt must produce 0.618 moles of Al.

Let's convert the moles to mass → 0.618 mol . 26.98g /mol = 16.6 g
