The empirical formula is SCl_2.

The empirical formula (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 molar ratio of S to Cl.

Assume that you have 100 g of sample.

Then it contains 31.14 g S and 68.86 g Cl.

Step 1. Calculate the moles of each element

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

Step 2. Calculate the molar ratio 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

Step 3: Write the empirical formula

EF = SCl_2

It takes 839./kJmol to break a carbon-carbon triple bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon tr

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon triple bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 143 nm.

Explanation:

It takes 839 kJ/mol to break a carbon-carbon triple bond.

Energy required to break 1 mole of carbon-carbon triple bond = E = 839 kJ

E = 839 kJ/mol = 839,000 J/mol

Energy required to break 1 carbon-carbon triple bond = E'

$E'=\frac{ 839,000 J/mol}{N_A}=\frac{839,000 J}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=1.393\times 10^{-18} J$

The energy require to single carbon-carbon triple bond will corresponds to wavelength which is required to break the bond.

$E'=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$ (Using planks equation)

$\lambda =\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{1.393\times 10^{-18} J}$

$\lambda =1.427\times 10^{-7} m =142.7 nm = 143 nm$

$(1 m = 10^9 nm)$

The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon triple bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 143 nm.

What is the difference in saying "1 mol of nitrogen atoms" and "1 mol of nitrogen molecules"

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we say one mole mole of nitrogen atom it means there is one nitrogen atom present i.e, N. The one mole of nitrogen atom have mass of 14 amu.

If say one mole mole of nitrogen molecule it means there are two atoms of nitrogen present. N₂

One mole of nitrogen molecule have mass of 28 amu.

Atom:

An atom is the smallest particle of an element, which can take part in a chemical reaction.

The atoms of some elements can not exist independently, while the atoms of some elements can exist independently.

Example:

Helium and Neon atoms are exist as He, Ne while atom of hydrogen, nitrogen etc can not exist as H, N.

Molecule:

A molecule is the smaller particle which can exist independently.

It may be monoatomic , diatomic, triatomic etc.

Foe example,

Hydrogen molecule consist of two atoms H₂

Nitrogen molecule = N₂

It may be combination of atoms of different elements.

HCl, H₂SO₄
