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

Which of the following represents positron emission? Select one: a. 3015P ---&gt; 3014Si + ___ b. 23892U ---&gt; 23490Th + ___ c
xxTIMURxx [149]
The simple trick which one can consider in such problem where it is asked for positron emission is :
<span>When the atomic number goes DOWN by one and mass number remains unchanged, then a positron is emitted.
</span>
<span>a.  </span>P^{30}_{15}  ----\ \textgreater \   Si^{30}_{14} + e^{0}_{1}^+
<span>
Here the atomic number decreases by one.

Similarly, options b and d are eliminated.

Option c is also not the answer.
For c, Count the atomic number on left side and compare it with right side. You will see it is 9 on left and 8 on right. Atomic no. did go down by 1. But the atomic mass is changed as well.

Sort these isotopes by whether they are most likely to undergo fusion or fission.
Maslowich

Answer:

Uranium-233- fission

Plutonium-239- fission

Plutonium-241- fission

Hydrogen-3 fusion

Hydrogen-1 fusion

Helium-3 fusion

Explanation:

In nuclear fission, heavy nuclear disintegrate into smaller nuclei when bombarded with particles such as neutrons. Fission reaction is common among nuclei having a high atomic number such as plutonium and uranium.

Fusion occurs between two light nuclei such as hydrogen or helium. It involves the combination of two lighter elements to give a heavier element with the release of tremendous amount of energy.
