Suppose we have 100 gr of the substance. Then by weight, it would contain 44.77 gr of C, 7.46 gr of H and 47.76 gr of S. We need to look up the atomic weights of these atoms; M_H=1, M_C=12, M_S=32. The following formula holds (where n are the moles of the substance, M its molecular mass and m its mass): n=m/M. Substituting the known quantities for each element, we get that the substance has 3.73 moles of C, 7.46 moles of H and 1.49 moles of S. In the empirical formula for the molecule, all atoms appear an integer amout of times. Hence, for every mole of Sulfur, we have 2.5 moles of C and 5 moles of H (by taking the moles ratios). Thus, for every 2 moles of sulfur, we have 5 moles of C and 10 moles of H. Now that all the coefficients are integer, we have arrived at an empirical formula for the skunk spray agent:
B. False
When the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent, we say that the solution is saturated with solute.
Answer:
A PROFESSOR WARNED HIM NOT TO GO INTO PHYSICS. Not long after the 16-year-old Planck got to the University of Munich in 1874, physics professor Philipp von Jolly tried to dissuade the young student from going into theoretical physics. Jolly argued that other scientists had basically figured out all there was to know.
Explanation:
I believe it would be better to use an orbital designation than the written configuration, if the number of electrons in the ground state of the atom are quite high for the given element, as above 50, for instance.
This saves space and also one can see the discrete quantized energy levels associated with the subshells of the main energy levels if written in orbital designation.
