Answer:
The empirical formula is, C4H4S
Explanation:
Number of moles of carbon = 1.119 g/ 44g/mol = 0.025 moles
Mass of Carbon= 0.025 moles × 12 g/ mole = 0.3 g
Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.229/18g/mol × 2 = 0.025 moles
Mass of hydrogen = 0.025 moles × 1 = 0.025 g
Number of moles of sulphur = 0.407g/ 64 g/mol = 0.0064 moles
Mass of sulphur= 0.0064 moles ×32 = 0.2 g
Now we obtain the mole ratios by dividing through by the lowest ratio.
C- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, H- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, S- 0.0064 moles/0.0064 moles
C4H4S
Answer:
Aluminium.
Explanation:
The above electronic configuration can be written in a simplified form as shown below:
1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p¹
Next, we shall determine the number of electrons in the atom of the element as follow:
Number electron = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 1
Number of electron = 13
Next, we shall determine the number of protons.
Since the element is in its neutral state,
The number of electrons and protons are equal i.e
Proton = Electron
Number of electron = 13
Proton = Electron = 13
Proton = 13
Next, we shall determine the atomic number of the element.
The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom of the element i.e
Atomic number = proton number
Proton = 13
Atomic number = 13
Comparing the atomic number of the element with those in the periodic table, the element with the above electronic configuration is aluminium since no two elements have the same atomic number.
