The chemical formula for the compound containing 8.6 mol of sulfur and 3.42 mol of phosphorus is P₂S₅
<h3>How do I determine the formula of the compound?</h3>
From the question given above, the following data were obatined:
- Sulphur (S) = 8.6 moles
- Phosphorus (P) = 3.42 mole
- Chemical formula =?
The chemical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:
Divide by their molar mass
S = 8.6 / 32 = 0.26875
P = 3.42 / 31 = 0.11032
Divide by the smallest
S = 0.26875 / 0.11032 = 2.44
P = 0.11032 / 0.11032 = 1
Multiply by 2 to express in whole number
S = 2.44 × 2 = 5
P = 1 × 2 = 2
Thus, the chemical formula is P₂S₅

Answer:
Alkaline earth metals
Explanation:
Group 2 has 2 valence electrons that they lose when being ionized, thus making their charge 2+.
Explanation:
Molar mass of HBr = 81 g/mol
Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide gas = 46 g/mol
Molar mass of ethane = 30 g/mol
Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows the equation:

So, the gas with least molar mass will effuse out fastest from the container and that is ethane gas.
The formula for average kinetic energy is:

where,
k = Boltzmann’s constant = 
T = temperature = 273.15 K ( at STP)
As we can see from the formula that kinetic energy depends upon only temperature of the gas molecule.
So, from this we can say that all the gas molecules have the same average kinetic energy at this temperature.
Answer:
The half-life of Material 1 and Material 2 are equal.
step by step explanation;
Material 1 disintegrates to half its mass three times in 21.6 s, to go from 100g
to 12.5g. That is,
100g - 50g - 25g - 12.5g
Material 2 disintegrates to half its mass three times in 21.6 s, to go from 200g to 25g. That is,
200g - 50g - 25g - 12.5g.
This means that regardless of their initial masses involved, material 1 and material 2 have equal half-life.
Their half-life is 21.6 ÷ 3 = 7.2 sec
