Answer:

Empirical formula of the compound = SOCl₂

Explanation:

QUESTION:What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 27.0% S, 13.4% O, and 59.6% Cl by mass?

The empirical formula of a compound is its simplest formula. It tells us

* The component element present in a molecule of the compound.

* The ratio  in which these elements are combined together, i.e mole ratio.

To calculate the empirical formula of a compound that contains 27.0% S, 13.4% O, and 59.6% Cl by mass. ( Relative atomic mass of S=32gmol⁻¹, 0=16gmol⁻¹, Cl=35.5gmol⁻¹)

                                           Sulphure S,  Oxygen O, Chlorine Cl

percentage by mass:            27.0%                  13.4%            59.6%

Step 1:

Divide by their relative

atomic mass:                     27.0/32.0      13.4/16.0         59.6/35.5    

⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒                  0.844            0.838            1.679

Step 2:

Divide by the

smallest mole ratio:       0.844/0.838   0.838/0.838  1.679/0.838

∴                                            1              :         1           :       2.

from the analysis above, the compound contains Sulphur, Oxygen and Chlorine in the ratio of 1:1:2.

∴ Empirical formula of the compound = SOCl₂

The force of replusion between two like charged particles will increase if​
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The distance of separation is decreased

Explanation:

From Cuolomb's law, we know that the strength of charge is inversely proportional to the distance of separation between the charges. To mean that increasing the distance let's say from 2m to 3 m would mean initial strength getting form 1/4 to 1/9 which is a decrease. The vice versa is true hence the force of repulsion can increase only when we decrease the distance of separation.

B. How can you tell where sugar enters the blood?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Sugar can’t enter cells directly

Explanation:

So when blood sugar level rises, cells in the pancreas signal for the release of insulin into the bloodstream. The insulin attaches to the sugars and signals cells to let it enter with the attached sugar. Insulin is known as the key that unlocks cells.
