The empirical formula is SCl_2.

The <em>empirical formula</em> (EF) is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio </em>of S to Cl.

Assume that you have 100 g of sample.

Then it contains 31.14 g S and 68.86 g Cl.

<em>Step</em> 1. Calculate the <em>moles of each element</em>

Moles of S = 31.14 g S × (1 mol S/(32.06 g S) = 0.971 30 mol S  

Moles of Cl = 68.86 g Cl × (1 mol Cl/35.45 g Cl) = 1.9425 mol Cl

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>molar ratio</em> of each element

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer

S:Cl = 0.971 30: 1.9425 = 1:1.9998 ≈ 1:2

<em>Step 3</em>: Write the <em>empirical formula</em>

EF = SCl_2

A chemistry student is given 700. mL of a clear aqueous solution at 26.° C. He is told an unknown amount of a certain compound
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The correct answer is - yes, 4.57 g of solute per 100 ml of solution

Explanation:

The correct answer is yes we can calculate the solubility of X in the water at 22.0°C. The salt will remain after the evaporate from the dissolved and cooled down at 26°C.

Then, the amount of solute dissolved in the 700 ml solution at 26°C is the weighed precipitate: 0.032 kg = 32 g.

Then solublity will be :

32. g solute / 700 ml solution = y / 100 ml solution

⇒ y = 32. g solute × 100 ml solution / 700 ml solution = 4.57 g.

Thus, the answer is 4.57 g of solute per 100 ml of solution.

How are exothermic and endothermic reactions linked in the process of refining metal ore?
Alex777 [14]
The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat

Morphine is a well known pain killer but is highly addictive. The lethal dose of morphine varies from person to person based on
Aliun [14]

Answer:

0.252 milimoles

Explanation:

To convert mass of a substance to moles it is necessary to use the molar mass of the substance.

The formula of morphine is C₁₇H₁₉NO₃, thus, its molar mass is:

C: 17*12.01g/mol = 204.17g/mol

H: 19*1.01g/mol = 19.19g/mol

N: 1*14g/mol = 14g/mol

O: 3*16g/mol = 48g/mol.

204.17 + 19.19 + 14 + 16 = <em>285.36g/mol</em>

Thus, moles of 71.891 mg = 0.071891g:

0.071891g × (1mol / 285.36g) = 2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles

As 1 mole = 1000 milimoles:

2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles = <em>0.252 milimoles</em>

How does induced transmutation produce trans uranium elements ?
kifflom [539]
Answer: Artificial transmutation may occur in machinery that has enough energy to cause changes in the nuclear structure of the elements. This releases, on average, 3 neutrons and a large amount of energy. The released neutrons then cause fission of other uranium atoms, until all of the available uranium is exhausted.
Hope this helped!!
