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

What is an example of a risk management strategy
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Risk management can be described as the identification and evaluation of certain risks beforehand and the appropriate steps that can be taken to avoid the problematic situations. Risk management is the forecasting of certain risks and the plans made to resist or overcome these risk situations.

An example of a risk management strategy can be a pet owner understanding that he'll have to make major payments for the health of the pet or will have to pay vet bills. In order to save money, the pet owner decided to go for pet insurance beforehand so that any problematic situation can be avoided.
