Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf SO_3}}

Explanation:

An empirical formula shows the smallest whole-number ratio of the atoms in a compound.

So, we must calculate this ratio. Since we are given the amounts of the elements in moles, we can do this in just 2 steps.

<h3>1. Divide </h3>

The first step is division. We divide the amount of moles for both elements by the <u>smallest amount of moles</u>.

There are 0.300 moles of sulfur and 0.900 moles of oxygen. 0.300 is smaller, so we divide both amounts by 0.300

  • Sulfur: 0.300/0.300= 1
  • Oxygen: 0.900/0.300= 3

<h3>2. Write Empirical Formula</h3>

The next step is writing the formula. We use the numbers we just found as the subscripts. These numbers go after the element's symbol in the formula. Remember sulfur is S and there is 1 mole and oxygen is O and there are 3 moles.

  • S₁O₃

This formula is technically correct, but we typically remove subscripts of 1 because no subscript implies 1 representative unit.

  • SO₃

\bold {The \  empirical \ formula \ for \ the \  compound \ is  \ SO_3}}

The wavelength of light is 310. nm; calculate the frequency.
kondor19780726 [428]
Frequency = velocity of propagation / wavelength. 

<span>For light, we assume it is moving in a vacuum, so vp is 3e8 m/s. The wavelength of 310nm is 310e-9 meters. Then we plug the numbers in, and we get (3e8 m/s) / (310e-9 m) = 967.742e12 Hz because 1/s is the same as cycles/sec, which is a Hertz.</span>

A protein has the amino acid sequence
kherson [118]

Answer:

Number of peptide fragments resulting from cleaving with cyanogen bromide? A: Three peptide fragments

Number of peptide fragments resulting from cleaving with trypsin? A: Four peptide fragments

Which of these reagents gives the smallest single fragment (in number of amino acid residues)? A: CnBr, a dipeptide fragment consisting of AL (Alanine-Leucine)

Explanation:

Cyanogen bromide cleaves the methionine C-terminus, then we have a first fragment of 8 amino acids: DSRLSKTM, a second fragment of 15 aas YSIEAPAKLDWEQNM, and a last fragment of only 2 aas is produced, AL

Trypsin cuts the C-terminus of Arginine and Lysine, then we'll have a first fragment of 3 aas DSR, a second fragment consisting of also 3 aas LSK, a third fragment of 10 aas TMYSIEAPAK, and a last fragment of 9 aas LDWEQNMAL.  All produced in three cut sites.

A conductor is distinguished from an insulator with the same number of atoms by the number of:_____.
Savatey [412]

A conductor is distinguished from an insulator with the same number of atoms by the number of nearly free electrons.

<h3>What are conductors and insulators?</h3>

Whether an object is made of conductive or nonconductive material affects how it behaves once it has been charged. Electrons can move freely between particles when they are in conductors, which are substances. The charge can be transported across the whole surface of an object constructed of a conducting substance.

A charge is swiftly dispersed across the full surface of the object if it is applied to it at a specific point. The motion of the electrons causes the distribution of charge. A charged object will constantly disperse its charge until the overall repulsive interactions between surplus electrons are minimized because conductors allow electrons to be moved from particle to particle.

Insulators, as opposed to conductors, are substances that prevent electrons from freely moving from one atom or molecule to another.

A solution is composed of 1.90 mol cyclohexane (P°=97.6 torr) and 2.60 mol acetone (P°=229.5 torr). What is the mole fraction of
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

0.2990

Explanation:

All liquids intend to vaporize independent of the temperature if the pressure is higher enough. This pressure is called the vapor pressure. When it occurs, the liquid and the vapor phases will be in equilibrium, and so the fractions of the components of the liquids and the vapor can be calculated.

The molar fraction of the liquid (x) can be calculated by the composition, so, calling xc for cyclohexane, and ca for acetone:

xc = 1.90/(1.90 + 2.60) = 0.4222

xa = 1 - 0.4222 = 0.5778

The total pressure of the system (P) can be calculated by Dalton's Law:

P = Pc + Pa

Where Pc and Pa are the partial pressures of the components. The partial pressures can be calculated by the Raoult's Law:

Pc = xc*P°c

Pa = xa*P°a

Where P° is the vapor pressure, so:

P = xc*P°c + xa*P°a

P = 0.4222*97.6 + 0.5778*229.5

P = 137.8 torr

The molar fraction at the vapor phase (y) is the partial pressure divided by the total pressure:

yc = Pc/P

yc = (xc*P°c)/P

yc = (0.4222*97.6)/137.8

yc = 0.2990
