Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, it is widely known that when measurements with different significant figures are put under mathematical operations, the final result must be displayed with the same amount of significant figures of the shortest measurement, thus, due to the fact that 5.5 g has two significant figures only the result is consequently shown with two significant figures as well as shown down below:
By rounding the first six to seven due to the fact that the next six is greater than five, according to rounding rules, the result is:
Best regards.

Answer:
Explanation:
So, the formula for the compound should be:
Now we assume that we have 1 mol of substance, so we can make calculations to know the molar mass of element X, as follows:
So we have that 6 moles weight 212.7g, and we can make a rule of three to know the weight of compound X:
As we used 1 mol, we know that the molar mass is 32.06g/mol
So the element has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol and an oxidation state of +6, with this information, we can assure that the element X is sulfur, so the compound is
