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}

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), as
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

MnO₂(s) + 4 HCl(aq)  = MnCl₂(aq) + 2 H₂O(l) + Cl₂

87 g                                                                     22.4 x 10³ mL

volume of given chlorine gas at NTP or at 760 Torr and 273 K

=  175 x ( 273 + 25 ) x 715 / (273 x 760 )

= 179.71 mL

22.4 x 10³ mL of chlorine requires 87 g of MnO₂

179.4 mL of chlorine will require    87 x 179.4 / 22.4 x 10³ g

= 696.77 x 10⁻³ g

= 696.77 mg .

1) If the pressure on 2.6 liters of a gas at 860 Torr is increased to 1000 Torr,
LenKa [72]

2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.

Explanation:

Data given:

Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters

Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm

final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm

final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?

From the data given above, the law used is :

Boyles Law equation:

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

   = 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31

  = 2.24 Liters

If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.
