The empirical formula of carbon sulfide = C3S2

calculation

calculate the mass of S used = 124-44.6= 79.4 grams

find the moles of each element

that is carbon(C)= 44.6/12= 3.717 moles    

          sulfur (S) = 79.4/32= 2.48 moles

find the mole ratio by dividing each mole with the smallest mole( 2.48)

that is carbon = 3.717/2.48 = 1.5

        sulfur = 2.48/2.48= 1

multiply by 2 to remove the decimal

= C=1.5 x2=3

S= 1/2 =2

therefore the empirical formula = C3S2

Calculate the hydroxide ion concentration [OH-] for a solution with a pH of 6.10
nalin [4]

There are different formula you need to keep in mind when solving for [OH-]

Given that pH = 6.10

pH + pOH = 14

6.10 + pOH = 14

pOH = 7.9

[OH-] = 10^(-pOH)

[OH-] = 10^(-7.9)

[OH-] = 0.000000013

[OH-] = 1.3 x 10^-8


<h2><u>Answer: [OH-] = 1.3 x 10^-8</u></h2>
