The empirical formula of the given compound is \bold{SO_3}.

The correct option is B.

<h3>What is an empirical formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms contained in the substance.

Given,

1.0 g of S

1.5 g of O

To calculate the empirical formula, we will divide the masses of the elements by their atomic weight.

For sulfur

\bold{\dfrac{1.0}{32} =0.03125\; mol}

For oxygen

\bold{\dfrac{1.5}{16} =0.09375\; mol}

Now, divide the greater value of mole came by the smaller value

\bold{\dfrac{0.09375\; mol}{0.03125\;mol} = 3}

Thus, the empirical formula for the given compound is 1 for S and 3 for O

\bold{SO_3}

At 20.°C, a 1.2-gram sample of Mg ribbon reacts rapidly with 10.0 milliliters of 1.0 M HCl(aq). Which change in conditions would
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: (2) decreasing the concentration of HCl(aq) to 0.1 M

Explanation: Rate of a reaction depends on following factors:

1. Size of the solute particles: If the reactant molecules are present in smaller size, surface of particles and decreasing the size increases the surface area of the solute particles. Hence, increasing the rate of a reaction.  

2. Reactant concentration: The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants.

3. Temperature: Increasing the temperature increases the energy of the molecules and thus more molecules can react to give products and rate increases.

(1) Increasing the initial temperature to 25°C will increase the reaction rate.

(2) Decreasing the concentration of HCl(aq) to 0.1 M will decrease the reaction rate due to lesser concentration.

(3) Using 1.2 g of powdered Mg will increase the reaction rate due to large surface area.

(4) Using 2.4 g of Mg ribbon will increase the reaction rate due to high concentration of reactants.

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2
Igoryamba

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

The Erlenmeyer Flask was <span>introduced in 1861 by German chemist </span>Emil Erlenmeyer and is shaped like a cone. This has a triangular shape and mouth wide for it to be easier to pour and store liquids. The Volumetric flask<span> is used for preparing liquids with volumes of high precision. It has a </span>pear-shaped body and a long neck with a circumferential fill line. The Filter Flask is also known as the <span>A Büchner </span><span>flask. It is like the Erlenmeyer but this one is thick-walled and has a special arm in the side. It is used for filtering liquid. </span>
