Answer:

Empirical formula = K₂SO₄

The name of the compound is Potassium tetraoxosulfate (vi)

Explanation:

Percentage composition of the elements:

Potassium = 44.82%

Sulfur = 18.39%

Oxygen = 36.79%

Mole ratio of the elements:

Potassium = 44.82/39 =1.15

Sulfur = 18.39/32 = 0.57

Oxygen = 36.79/16 = 2.29

Dividing by the smallest ratio in order to obtain the simplest ratio

Potassium = 1.15/0.57 =2

Sulfur = 0.57/0.57 = 1

Oxygen = 2.29/0.57 = 4

Therefore, the mole ratio of Potassium : Sulfur : Oxygen = 2:1:4

Empirical formula = K₂SO₄

The name of the compound is Potassium tetraoxosulfate (vi)

3. What noble gas would be part of the electron configuration notation for Mn?
shusha [124]

Answer:

Argon {Ar}

Explanation:

The noble gas used for a condensed electron configuration is the one before the element which you are configuring.

In this case, the element (Mn) is manganese

The noble gas that is before this element is Argon which is the row above it

so your configuration would be {Ar} 3d^5 4s^2
