The empirical formula of the compound is C₃H₃S.

Explanation:

molecular weight of CO₂ = 44 g/mole

molecular weight of H₂O = 18 g/mole

Knowing the molecular weights of the compounds we devise the following reasoning:

if in           44 g of CO₂ there are 12 g of C

then in  5.48 g of CO₂ there are X g of C

X = (5.48 × 12) / 44 = 1.49 g C

if in           18 g of H₂O there are 2 g of H

then in    1.13 g of H₂O there are Y g of H

Y= (1.13 × 2) / 18 = 0.126 g H

mass of compound = mass of C + mass of H + mass of S

mass of S = mass of compound - mass of C - mass of H

mass of S = 2.95 - 1.49 - 0.126 = 1.33 g S

Now to find the empirical formula of the compound we use the fallowing algorithm:

we devise each mass by the molar weight of the element:

for C   1.49 / 12 = 0.124

for H   0.126 / 1 = 0.126

for S   1.33 / 32 = 0.0416

now we divide the result by the lowest number which is 0.0416

for C    0.124 / 0.0416 ≈ 3

for H    0.126 / 0.0416 ≈ 3

for S    0.0416 / 0.0416 = 1

The empirical formula of the compound is C₃H₃S.

Differences in air pressure drive the global wind system on earth. Which term describes polar winds that blow from east to west?
marshall27 [118]

Answer: Polar Easterlies

Explanation: Winds flow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. They originate in the north and south pole creating high pressure zones which generates an outflow. This outflow is then directed from east to west and hence the term used to describe these winds is Polar Easterlies.
