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

A 5.00 L sample of helium expands to 12.0 L at which point the
mina [271]

Answer:

1.73 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of helium = 5.00 L

Final volume of helium = 12.0 L

Final pressure = 0.720 atm

Initial pressure = ?

Solution:

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ × 5.00 L = 0.720 atm × 12.0 L

P₁ = 8.64 atm. L/5 L

P₁ = 1.73 atm

Answer:

Eukarya- Multicellar and unicellar

Explanation:

Fugi- Multicellar

Protista- unicellar

eubacteria- unicellar and have no nucleus

Eukarya is the only option, and that is because Eukarya is both! It contains a nucleus, and a membrane making it the only one that fits into the incomplete graphic! Hope this helps! (I noticed you were waiting for a while so I came to help! <3)
