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

What reagent is used to test for the presence of indole?
lubasha [3.4K]
The indole test is a qualitative procedure for determining the ability of bacteria to produce indole by deamination of tryptophan. Using Kovacs tube method, indole combines, in the presence of a tryptophan rich medium, with p-Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde at an acid pH in alcohol to produce a red-violet compound.

A bathtub is filled with 100 L of water. A cat jumps in and the volume rises to 125 L. If the cat has a mass of
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 3.2 g/L</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass of cat = 400 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 125 - 100 = 25 L

The density of the cat is

density =  \frac{400}{125}  =  \frac{16}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.2 g/L</h3>

Hope this helps you

A reaction generates hydrogen gas (H) as a product. The re-
Amiraneli [1.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The average rate of the reaction is 7.82\times 10^{-3}M/min

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of hydrogen gas generated, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Moles of hydrogen gas = 3.91\times 10^{-2}mol

Volume of solution = 250 mL = 0.250 L    (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of }H_2=\frac{3.91\times 10^{-2}mol}{0.250L}=0.1564M

Average rate of the reaction is defined as the ratio of concentration of hydrogen generated to the time taken.

To calculate the average rate of the reaction, we use the equation:

\text{Average rate of the reaction}=\frac{\text{Concentration of hydrogen generated}}{\text{Time taken}}

We are given:

Concentration of hydrogen generated = 0.1564 M

Time taken = 20.0 minutes

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Average rate of the reaction}=\frac{0.1564M}{20.0min}\\\\\text{Average rate of the reaction}=7.82\times 10^{-3}M/min

Hence, the average rate of the reaction is 7.82\times 10^{-3}M/min
