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)

What volume change occurs to a 400.0 mL gas sample as the temperature increases from 22.0 °C to 30.0°C?
nasty-shy [4]
V₁ = 400.0 mL

T₁ = 22.0ºC + 273 = 295 K

V₂ = ?

T₂ = 30.0ºC + 273 = 303 K

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

400.0 / 295 = V₂ / 303

295 x V₂ = 400.0 x 303

295 V₂ = 121200

V₂ = 121200 / 295

V₂ = 410.84 mL

What is the maximum mass of s8 that can be produced by combining 89.0 g of each reactant?
lidiya [134]

Answer : We can produce 125.7 g of S_{8}.


Explanation : The reaction will be

8SO_{2} + 16H_{2}S -----> 3S_{8} + 16H_{2}O


The molecular mass of SO_{2} is 64.1 g/mol

and molecular mass of H_{2}S is 34.1 g/mol


For every mole of SO_{2} we would need twice of H_{2}S moles, so for every 3 moles of S_{8} we need 16 moles of H_{2}S


Now, we can calculate number of moles S_{8}

2.61 X (3/16) = 0.49 moles


Here, the molecular mass of S_{8} is 256.8 g


multiplying it with the number of 0.49 moles we get, 256.8 X 0.49 = 125.7 g of S_{8}.


Hence, 125.7 g of S_{8} will be produced.

The last column of the periodic table contains the noble gases, elements that do not easily form chemical bonds. Why don’t these
netineya [11]
We call these reactive elements, becausethese atoms really like to follow the buddysystem and form bonds with other atoms.Noble gases, however, don't have thisproblem. Their outer shells are filled to the max, so they don't need to bond or react with any other atoms.
