A sample of a compound contains 3.21 g of sulfur and 11.4 g of fluorine. Which of the following represents the empirical formula

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

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)

3 A specific amount of energy is emitted when excited electrons in an atom in a sample of an element return to the ground state.

Masja [62]

When a specific amount of energy is emitted when excited electrons in an atom in a sample of an element return to the ground state, this emitted energy can
<span>be used to determine the "identity of the element".</span>

Salivary amylase is an enzyme produced by the salivary glands that breaks down carbohydrates. What will happen to this enzyme as

o-na [289]

Answer:

It will be denatured.

Explanation:

Salivary amylase works best at pH 6.8.

At pH 2.5, its activity will decrease enormously as it becomes denatured by the high acidity of the stomach contents.

(C6H6) can be biodegraded by microorganism. if 30 mg of benzene is present, what amount of oxygen required for biodegradation, n

quester [9]

Answer:

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Explanation:

$5C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+15H_2O$

Mass of benzene = 30 mg = 0.03 g (1000 mg = 1 g )

Moles benzene = $\frac{0.03 g}{78 g/mol}=0.0003846 mol$

According to reaction 5 moles of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas.

Then 0.0003846 mol of benzene will react with:

$\frac{15}{5}\times 0.0003846 mol=0.0011538 mol$ of oxygen gas

Mass of 0.0011538 moles of oxygen gas:

0.0011538 mol × 32 g/mol = 0.03692 g = 36.92 mg

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.
