No, it is not feasible. Three metallic ions cannot provide the exact number of electrons that one sulfur needs for the ionic bond

Answer: No it is not feasible.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here the non metal is sulfur having an oxidation state of -2 and thus the formula of an ionic compound containing sulfur can never be X_3S as the neutral compound is formed by exchange of oxidation states. Thus the subscript of X has to be 2.

If have a volume of 18 L of a gas at a temperature of 272 K and a pressure of 90 atm, what will be the pressure of the gas if ra
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

P₂ ≅ 100 atm (1 sig. fig. based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm)

Explanation:

Given:

P₁ = 90 atm                    P₂ = ?

V₁ = 18 Liters(L)              L₂ = 12 Liters(L)      

=> decrease volume => increase pressure

=> volume ratio that will increase 90 atm is (18L/12L)                                                                  

T₁ = 272 Kelvin(K)          T₂ = 274 Kelvin(K)

=>  increase temperature => increase pressure

=> temperature ratio that will increase 90 atm is (274K/272K)

n₁ = moles = constant    n₂ = n₁ = constant

P₂ = 90 atm x (18L/12L) x (274K/272K) = 135.9926471 atm (calculator)

By rule of sig. figs., the final answer should be rounded to an accuracy equal to the 'measured' data value having the least number of sig. figs. This means P₂ ≅ 100 atm based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm.

How is dinitrogen (1) oxide distinguished shed from oxygen​
grigory [225]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Both oxygen and dinitrogen (1) oxide are known to rekindle a glowing splint. However, oxygen is an odorless gas while dinitrogen (1) oxide has a faint smell and has an effect on the central nervous system.

Also, the combustion of dinitrogen (1) oxide produces brown fumes of nitrogen IV oxide.

Finally, when dinitrogen (1) oxide and oxgen are both heated with copper, residual nitrogen gas is left with dinitrogen (1) oxide while no residual gas is left with oxygen.

A 0.5 mol sample of he(g) of ne(g) are placed separately in two 10.0 l rigid containers at 25°c. each container has a pinhole op
Serjik [45]
The movement of gases through pinhole is called effusion and the effusion rate indirectly proportional to the molar mass of gas

The lighter mass gas effuses faster than the heavier one
so He(g) will escapes faster and it will move with higher average speed because it has less mass than Ne(g)
