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}}

3. Determine the Zeff value of Uranium, also indicate (based on your answer with mathematical calculations) which electron will
Ilya [14]

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of uranium is given below -

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰5s²5p⁶4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6s²6p⁶5f³6d¹7s2²

Effective nuclear charge (Z eff) = Atomic number (Z) - Shielding constant (S)

<u> Value of Shielding constant (S) can be calculated by using slater's rule : </u>

S = 1 (0.35) + 9 (0.85) + 81 (1.00)

S = 0.35 + 7.65 + 81.00

S = 89

So,

Zeff = Z - S

Zeff = 92 - 89

<u> Zeff = 3 </u>

Hence, Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) of uranium = <u>3 </u>

5s electron is closest to the nucleus.
