Sulfur dioxide So2 is present in our atmosphere and is used as a preservative in foods. Is it possible to use the common charges

that sulfur and oxygen make to determine the forumla
Chemistry

telo118 [61]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Your question is not interpreted very well, but as regards what is observed, SO2 is not the formula for sulfur oxide, the formula for sulfur oxide is SO since the valence used in sulfur would be +2 and oxygen -2 therefore the sum of these valences would be equal to zero, therefore it would be the correct thing considering the true equation as SO

Explanation:

There are also sulfur dioxide, or sulfur trioxide, which is usually used in the formation of tertiary salts such as copper sulfate.

sulfur trioxide and sulfur dioxide are synonymous with sulfate or sulphite

Sunlight is composed of energy that is visible to humans and energy that is not visible to humans. Which statement describes how
Vilka [71]

Answer:

A

both forms of energy referred to in the question is light and heat energy

light energy is the visible energy that travels at a known constant speed of 3.0×10^9m/s

while heat energy is the invisible energy that travels in form of radiation at variable speeds

What is the nuclear binding energy for thorium-234? 2.78 × 10-10 J 3.36 × 10-14 J 1.67 × 1017 J 5.35 x 10-23 J
grin007 [14]
The correct option is A.
To calculate the binding energy, you have to find the mass defect first.
Mass defect = [mass of proton and neutron] - Mass of the nucleus
The molar mass of thorium that we are given in the question is 234, the atomic number of thorium is 90, that means the number of neutrons in thorium is 
234 - 90 = 144.
The of proton in thourium is 90, same as the atomic number.
Mass defect = {[90 * 1.00728] +[144* 1.00867]} - 234
Note that each proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and each neutron has the mass of 1.00867 amu.
Mass defect = [90.6552 + 145.24848] - 234 = 1.90368 amu.
Note that the unit of the mass is in amu, it has to be converted to kg
To calculate the mass in kg
Mass [kg] = 1.90368 * [1kg/6.02214 * 10^-26 = 3.161135 * 10^-27
To calculate the binding energy
E = MC^2
C = Speed of light constant = 2.9979245 *10^8 m/s2
E = [3.161135 * 10^-27] * [2.9979245 *10^8]^2
E = 2.84108682069 * 10^-10.
Note that we arrive at this answer because of the number of significant figures that we used.
So, from the option given, Option A is the nearest to the calculated value and is our answer for this problem.
