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.

A state of matter with a changing shape and changing volume
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Gas is the state of mater which changing its shape and volume according to the volume and shape of container.

Explanation:

Gas is the state of mater which changing its shape and volume according to the volume and shape of container.

Properties of gas:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.

Their densities are very low as compared to the liquid and solids.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other therefore by applying pressure gases can be compressed.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules.

The ratio of chlorine to hydrogen chloride in the reaction
Trava [24]
It is a simple stoichiometry problem. We have been given with balanced equation and 5.00 moles of HCl and have to calculate the moles of H2. 

<span>From the balanced equation it is being clear that 2 moles of HCl are produced by 1 mole of H2. so, 1 mole of HCl will be produced by 1/2 moles of H2. So, the mole ratio of H2 and HCl is 1:2 </span>
<span>to calculate the moles of H2 for the given moles of HCl, multiply the moles of HCl by the mole ratio of H2 and HCl. </span>

<span>5.00 mole HCl x (1 mole H2/ 2 mole HCl) </span>
<span>= 2.50 mole H2 </span>
<span>so, to produce 5.00 moles of HCl, 2.50 moles of H2 are required.</span>
