Answer:

Compound X has a molar mass of 316.25 g*mol^-1 and the following composition:

element & mass %

phosphorus & 39.18%

sulfur & 60.82%

Write the molecular formula of X.

Explanation:

The given molecule of phosphorus and sulfur has molar mass --- 316.25 g.

Empirical formula calculation:                      

element:              phosphorus                       sulfur

co9mposition:      39.185%                            60.82%

divide with

atomic mass:          39.185/31.0 g/mol           60.82/32.0g/mol

                              =1.26mol                           1.90mol

smallest mole ratio:   1.26mol/1.26mol =1      1.90mol/1.26 mol =1.50

multiply with 2:          2                                         3

Hence, the empirical formula is:

P2S3.

Mass of empirical formula is:

158.0g/mol

Given, molecule has molar mass --- 316.25 g/mol

Hence, the ratio is:

316.25g/mol/158.0 =2

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is :

2 x (P2S3)

=P_4S_6

Calculate the mass percentage of Na2SO4 in a solution containing 10.9 g Na2SO4 in 482 g water.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2.21 %

Explanation:

Data

mass of Na₂SO₄ = 10.9 g

mass of H₂O       = 482 g

Formula

Percent by mass = \frac{mass of solute}{total mass} x 100

Substitution

Percent by mass = \frac{10.9}{10.9 + 482} x 100

Simplification and result

Percent by mass = \frac{10.9}{492.9} x 100

       Percent by mass = 0.022 x 100

       Percent by mass = 2.21
