Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound = $C_4H_8S_1O_1$

Explanation:

Mass of carbon dioxide gas = 59.060 mg = 0.059060 g

1 mg = 0.001 g

Moles of carbon dioxide = $\frac{0.059060 g}{44 g/mol}=0.0013 mol$

Moles of carbon in 0.0013 moles of carbon dioxide gas = 1 × 0.0013 mol = 0.0013 mol

Mass of 0.0013 moles of carbon = $12 g/mol\times 0.0013 mol=0.0156 g$

Mass of water = 24.176 mg = 0.024176

Moles of water = $\frac{0.024176 g}{18 g/mol}=0.0013 mol$

Moles of hydrogen in 0.0013 moles of water = 2 × 0.0013 mol = 0.0026 mol

Mass of 0.0013 moles of hydrogen= $1 g/mol\times 0.0013 mol=0.0013 g$

Mass of sulfur dioxide = 20.326 mg = 0.020326 g

Moles of sulfur dioxide = $\frac{0.020326 g}{64 g/mol}=0.00032 mol$

Moles of sulfur in 0.00032 moles of sulfur dioxide = 1 × 0.00032 mol = 0.00032 mol

Mass of 0.00032 moles of sulfur = $32 g/mol\times 0.00032 mol=0.01024 g$

Mass of oxygen in the sample = x

Mass of sample = 33.153 mg = 0.033153 g

0.033153 g = 0.0156 g + 0.0013 g + 0.01024 g + x

x = 0.006013 g

Moles of oxygen = $\frac{0.006013 g}{16 g/mol}=0.00038 mol$

For empirical formula divide the lowest number of moles of elemnt from all the moles of the all the elements:

Carbon : $\frac{0.0013 mol}{0.00032 mol}=4$

Hydrogen: $\frac{0.0026 mol}{0.00032 mol}=8$

Sulfur : $\frac{0.00032 mol}{0.00032 mol}=1$

Oxygen : $\frac{0.00038 mol}{0.00032 mol}=1$

The empirical formula of the compound = $C_4H_8S_1O_1$

why is a graduated cylinder most appropriate for measuring the volume of a liquid instead of a beaker ?

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Graduated cylinders are designed for accurate measurements of liquids with a much smaller error than beakers. They are thinner than a beaker, have many more graduation marks, and are designed to be within 0.5-1% error. ... Therefore, this more precise relative of the beaker is just as critical to almost every laboratory.

What are some possible ways these rocks were formed? Be sure to discuss all 3 rocks.<br> pls help me

horrorfan [7]

The brownish rock is a sedimentry rock was formed when things like sand, mud, or pebbles get laid down in layers. Eventually the layers are lithified.

The grey rock is a metamorphic rock and was when other rocks are changed because of heat or pressure. Earth movements can cause rocks to be deeply buried or squeezed. As a result, the rocks are heated and put under great pressure. They do not melt, but the minerals they contain are changed chemically, forming metamorphic rocks.

The red dots rock is an igneous rock. Igneous rock forms when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.

You are asked to bring the pH of 0.500L of 0.550 M NH4Cl to 7.00. Which of the following solutions would you use: 12.0 M HCl or

ch4aika [34]

<span>1 drop is approximately 0.05mL. Since 0.500L of 0.550M NH4Cl contains 0.275mol of substance (calculated by using c=n/V formula), equal amount of substance of NH3 is needed to neutralize this solution (since pH of 7 is neutral solution). Thus, we need 0.0275L of NH3, i.e. around 550 drops.</span>
