Answer:

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sulfur = 3.21 grams

Mass of fluorine = 11.4 grams

Molar mass sulfur = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass fluorine = 19.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass /molar mass

Moles sulfur = 3.21 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles sulfur = 0.100 moles

Moles fluorine = 11.4 grams / 19.00 g/mol

Moles fluorine = 0.600 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.100 / 0.100 = 1

F : 0.600 / 0.100 = 6

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

Tonya had a mixture of sand, salt, iron particles, and pebbles. What processes should be used to separate the substances in the
marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

Put the pan into a water-containing dish and mix well. Now use a strainer to transfer the solution into another jar. The salt should disappear in it. 

And using a tube with a filtrate, transfer the salts that has sand into another bottle with a filtrate. Therefore the sand is split. Eventually, when all the water vaporizes and the salt stays in the bottle, leave the extra solvent and heat it.
