Explanation:
Several rules should be followed to write any equilibrium expression properly. In the context of this problem, we're dealing with an aqueous equilibrium:
- an equilibrium constant is, first of all, a fraction;
- in the numerator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our products (right-hand side of the equation);
- in the denominator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our reactants (left-hand side o the equation);
- each concentration should be raised to the power of the coefficient in the balanced chemical equation;
- only aqueous species and gases are included in the equilibrium constant, solids and liquids are omitted.
Following the guidelines, we will omit liquid water and we will include all the other species in the constant. Each coefficient in the balanced equation is '1', so no powers required. Multiply the concentrations of the two products and divide by the concentration of carbonic acid:
The empirical formula for the given compound has been . Thus, option C is correct.
The empirical formula has been the whole unit ratio of the elements in the formula unit.
<h3>Computation for the Empirical formula</h3>The given mass of Sulfur has been, 50.05 g
The given mass of oxygen has been 49.95 g.
The moles of elements in the sample has been given by:
- Moles of Sulfur:
The moles of sulfur in the unit has been 1.56 mol.
- Moles of Oxygen:
The moles of oxygen in the unit has been 3.12 mol.
The empirical formula unit has been given as:
Thus, the empirical formula for the given compound has been . Thus, option C is correct.
