Answer:

sulfur

Explanation:

In oxygen family sulfur has yellow color and also having stinky smell. Thus given statements are about sulfur.

It is present in oxygen family.

It has six valance electrons.

Its atomic number is 16.

Its atomic weight is 32 amu.

The electronic configuration of sulfur is given below,

S₁₆ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

We can see the valance shell is third shell and it have six electrons thus sulfur have six valance electrons. (3s² 3p⁴ )

Sulfur is used in vulcanisation process.

It is used in bleach and also as a preservative for many food.

it is used to making gun powder.

What data should be plotted to show that experimental concentration data fits a first-order reaction? A) 1/[reactant] vs. time B
natita [175]

Answer:

C) In[reactant] vs. time

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law equation is:

A = A_{0}e^{-kt}

where A(0) = initial concentration of the reactant

A = concentration after time 't'

k = rate constant

Taking ln on both sides gives:

ln[A] = ln[A]_{0}-kt

Therefore a plot of ln[A] vs t should give a straight line with a slope = -k

Hence, ln[reactant] vs time should be plotted for a first order reaction.

What is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in the compound mgso4
Margaret [11]

Answer:

26.7% is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in a compound named magnesium sulfate.

Explanation:

Molar mass of compound = 120 g/mol

Number of sulfur atom = 1

Atomic mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Percentage of element in compound :

=\frac{\text{Number of atoms}\times \text{Atomic mass}}{\text{molar mas of compound}}\times 100

Sulfur :

=\frac{1\times 32 g/mol}{120 g/mol}\times 100=26.7\%

26.7% is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in a compound named magnesium sulfate.
