Answer:

S_2F_{10}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the empirical formula of a chemical compound is determined by assuming the by-mass percentages are masses, we can firstly compute the moles of sulfur and fluorine based on their atomic masses:

n_S=25.24gS*\frac{1molS}{32.01gS}=0.789molS\\\\n_F=74.76gF*\frac{1molF}{19.00gF}=3.93molF

Next, we compute the subscript of each element in the formula by dividing each moles by the fewest moles:

S=\frac{0.789}{0.789}=1\\\\F=\frac{3.93}{0.789} =5

Whose molar mass is 127.01 g/mol. Now, we can compute the ratio between the molecular and empirical formulas as follows:

ratio=\frac{254.14}{127.01} =2

Thus, the molecular formula is:

S_2F_{10}

Regards!

How many moles of O2 are required to generate 18 moles of H2O in the given reaction? 2C8H18 + 25O2 16CO2 + 18H2O
Veronika [31]
There's a slight error in your equation. I think you were trying to present it like this:

2C8H18 + 25O2 -> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Mole Ratio
O2 : H20
25 : 18
? moles : 18 moles
(18/18)×25 : 18 moles

25 moles : 18 moles

Final answer would be 25 moles of O2. :)

If you have any doubts that you want to clarify with me, please ask me! :)
I will do my utmost best to help you.

likoan [24]

Answer:

406.45mL

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

V1 = 350mL

P1 = 720mmHg

P2 = 630mmHg

V2 =?

The new volume can be obtain as follows:

P1V1 = P2V2

720 x 350 = 620 x v2

Divide both side by 620

V2 = (720 x 350) /620

V2 = 406.45mL

The new volume of the gas is 406.45mL
