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

For better representation, let me rewrite the electronic configuration:
<span>1s</span>²<span>2s</span>²<span>2p</span>⁶<span>3s</span>²<span>3p</span>⁶<span>4s</span>²<span>3d</span>⁴
The exponents represent the number of electrons in the designated subshell. Thus, the total number of electrons are:
# of electrons = 2+2+6+2+6+2+4 = 24
Assuming this is in neutral state, the element with an atomic number of 24 is Chromium. Thus, the answer is Cr.
The number of atoms of K that are in 235 g of the compound is
2.57 x10^24 atoms
calculation
Step 1: find the moles of K2S
= moles = mass/molar mass
= 235 g/110 g/mol= 2.136 moles
Step 2: multiply 2.136 moles by no. of K atoms in K2S
= 2.136 x2 = 4.272 moles
Step 3: use the Avogadro's law to determine number of K atoms
that is according to Avogadro's law 1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms
4.272 moles= ? atoms
by cross multiplication
= (4.272 moles x 6.02 x10^23 atoms) / 1 mole = 2.57 x10^24 atoms
