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!

When 8.70 kJ of thermal energy is added to 2.50 mol of liquid methanol, it vaporizes. Determine the heat of vaporization in kJ/m
Anni [7]

Answer:

The heat of vaporisation of methanol is "3.48 KJ/Mol"

Explanation:

The amount of heat energy required to convert or transform  1 gram of liquid to vapour is called heat of vaporisation

When 8.7 KJ of heat energy is required to vaporize 2.5 mol of liquid methanol.

Hence, for 1 mol of liquid methanol, amount of heat energy required to evaporate the methanol is =   \frac{8.7}{2.5}KJ

 = 3.48 KJ

So, the heat of vaporization \delta H_{vap} = 3.48KJ/Mol

Therefore, the heat of vaporization of methanol is 3.48KJ/Mol

hich of the following changes always leads to an increase in the rate constant for a reaction: Decreasing the temperature Decrea
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Only one—(i), or (ii), or (iii)—increases the reaction rate.

Explanation:

<em>Which of the following changes always leads to an increase in the rate constant for a reaction?</em>

  • <em>Decreasing the temperature. </em>NO. A lower temperature leads to a slower reaction because the molecules have less energy to react.
  • <em>Decreasing the activation energy</em>. YES. According to the Arrhenius equation, the lower the activation energy, the higher the rate constant.
  • <em>Making the value of ΔE more negative</em>. NO. A more negative ΔE means a reaction is more spontaneous but not faster.
