Answer:

The molecular formula is  SO2F2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of compound = 100 grams

The compound contains:

31.42 % S = 31.42 grams S

31.35 % O = 31.35 grams O

100 - 31.42 - 31.35 = 37.23 F

Molar mass of S = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass F = 19.00 g/mol

Molar mass O = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles S = 31.42 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles S = 0.9799 moles

Moles 0 = 31.35 grams / 16.00 g/mol

Moles 0 = 1.959 moles

Moles F = 37.23 grams / 19.00 g/mol

Moles F = 1.959 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.9799 / 0.9799 = 1

F: 1.959/ 0.9799 = 2

O : 1.959 / 0.9799 = 2

The empirical formula is SO2F2

This formula has a molecular mass of 102.06 g/mol

This means the empirical formula is also the molecular formula : SO2F2

4. What are the characteristics of<br> the particles of matter?
mojhsa [17]

Not sure how in depth or what level of particles but I will go as deep as I know. The matter that makes up the world is comprised of 12 particles which are known as fermions. There are 12 fermions which are made up of 6 quarks (up, charm, top, Down, Strange, Bottom) 3 electrons (electron, muon, tau) and three neutrinos (e, muon, tau). Technically, only the up quark, down quark, electron, and electron neutrino are necessary to create all known matter since others would simply be very unstable and decay into those particles. The other type of particles are known as Bosons. These particles transmit forces and all sorts of different interactions. I have included a photo from online which describes the main characteristics of each elementary particle.

If earth is 1.50 x 10^8km from the sun what is the distance in Mm?
Readme [11.4K]

The distance of the earth to the sun in Mm = 1.5 x 10⁵

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The distance of the earth to the sun : 1.50 x 10⁸ km

Required

The distance in Mm

Solution

In converting units we must pay attention to the conversion factor.

the conversion factor :

1 kilometer(km) = 10⁻³ megameter(Mm)

So the distance conversion :

1.5 x 10⁸ x 10⁻³ = 1.5 x 10⁵ Mm

Sodium bicarbonate is sometimes used to neutralize acid spills. If 2.0 L of 1.0 M H2SO4 is spilled, what mass of sodium bicarbon
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

168.0 g

Explanation:

First thing, write a balanced chemical equation:

H_{2}SO_{4}+ 2NaHCO_{3}  ----> Na_{2}SO_{4} + 2H_{2}O+2CO_{2}

n(H2SO4) = concentration * volume

                = 1.0 M * 2.0 L

                = 2.0 mol

According to the balanced equation, 1 mol of acid requires 2 mol of sodium bicarbonate. This means that 2 mol of acid requires 2 mol of sodium bicarbonate. What mass of sodium bicarbonate is this?

mass (NaHCO3) = number of moles * molar mass

                           = 2.0 mol * 84.0065 g/mol

                           = 168.0 g

For each of the following substituents, indicate whether it withdraws electrons inductively, donates electrons by hyperconjugati
AveGali [126]

Answer:

a. withdraws electrons inductively

b. donates electrons by hyperconjugation

c. donates electrons by resonance

d.  withdraws electrons inductively

Explanation:

a.  The bromide ion is a highly electronegative ion (in the halide series). Electronegative substituents on acids increase the acidity by inductive electron withdrawal method. The higher the electronegativity of a substance, the greater the acidity. The halogens have this order of electronegativity:

F > Cl > Br>I

b.  The carboxyl groups have a stabilization of the sigma and pi bonds. This is achieved through a special delocalization of electrons.  Because of the delocalization, hyperconjugation is the result effect.

c. The NHCH₃ group has a highly electonegative nitrogen atom that pulls the electron cloud towards itself. In this case, it withdraws electrons inductively. As a result, it donates electrons by resonance.

d. The OCH₃ group has a highly electonegative oxygen atom. This oxygen atom withdraws electron cloud towards itself. As a result, it withdraws electrons inductively.

Question 1 (True/False Worth 2 points) (04.03 LC) When Pb and AlCl3 react together, lead (Pb) can replace aluminum (Al) in the c
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

For 1: The correct answer is false.

For 2: The correct answer is Na_3PO_4+3KOH\rightarrow 3NaOH + K_3PO_4, because K retains the same charge throughout the reaction.

For 3: The correct answer is Zn+H_2SO_4\rightarrow ZnSO_4 + H_2

For 4: The correct answer is a single replacement reaction takes place because sodium is more reactive than hydrogen.

For 5: The correct answer is False.

For 6: The correct answer is it is a single replacement reaction, and the cations in the two ionic compounds are different.

Explanation:

  • <u>For 1: </u>

This type or reaction is based on the reactivity series. If the metal which lies above in the series will replace the metal which lies below in the series easily.

From the reactivity table attached below, we know that lead lies below in the series to Aluminium and hence, it will not replace in the reaction.

Pb+AlCl_3\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

Hence, the correct answer is False.

  • <u>For 2: </u>

A balanced equation is defined as the equation in which there are same number of atoms present on the reactant side and the product side.

The balanced equation always follow Law of Conservation of Mass.

So, from the given options, the below equation is the balanced equation because K retains the same charge throughout the reaction.

Na_3PO_4+3KOH\rightarrow 3NaOH + K_3PO_4

  • <u>For 3:</u>

A single displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which one element replaces another element in a chemical reaction. The element which is more reactive will replace the less less reactive element.

This is explained by reactivity series as the metal which lies above in the series will replace the metal which lies below in the series easily. From the given equations, the equation which is a type of single displacement reaction is:

Zn+H_2SO_4\rightarrow ZnSO_4 + H_2

Ba(OH)_2+H_2SO_4\rightarrow BaSO_4 + 2H_2O : This equation is a type of double displacement reaction.

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO  : This equation is a type of combination reaction.

H_2O+CO_2\rightarrow H_2CO_3 : This equation is a type of combination reaction.

  • <u>For 4:</u>

A single displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which one element replaces another element in a chemical reaction.

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

A double displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which exchange of ins takes place.

AB+CD\rightarrow AD+BC

In the question, it is asked that sodium metal is reacting with water to produce hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. This reaction is a type of single displacement reaction because sodium is more reactive than hydrogen as shown in the reactivity series.

2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow H_2+2NaOH

  • <u>For 5: </u>

A single displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which one element replaces another element in a chemical reaction. This reaction will not follow when an element replaces similar element.

Hence, the statement is False.

  • <u>For 6:</u>

For the reaction:

\text{Metal + Ionic compound}\rightarrow \text{Metal + Ionic compound}

It is a type single replacement reaction as the cations in the two ionic compounds are different.

For Example:

3Na+AlCl_3\rightarrow 3NaCl+Al

Where, Sodium and Aluminium are the cations and chlorine is an anion.
