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

Which type of telescope would perform better on a mountaintop than at a lower elevation?
marishachu [46]

when an optical telescope located on the ground is used to view the sky the image has to surpass through the earth's atmosphere which is polluted. so the resolution wont be clear. When viewed on a mountain top both optical and infrared telescopes would perform better as the air above the atmosphere is less depth and cleaner.

2. Why was it important to examine both the color and the streak of your minerals? Think about streak and explain why it’s calle
Delicious77 [7]
It is important to examine both the colour and the streak of a mineral because the streak may be completely different from the colour of the hand specimen.
The streak of a mineral is the color it possesses after it has been grounded to a fine powder. The streak test has to be done on minerals because it is a more reliable way of identifying a mineral with its color.<span />

Consider a voltaic cell where the anode half-reaction is Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− and the cathode half-reaction is Sn2+(aq) + 2 e
notsponge [240]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of Sn^{2+} in the cell is 9.0\times 10^{-3}M

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-   E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Sn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)   E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.136V

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Here, tin will undergo reduction reaction and will get reduced.

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=-0.136-(-0.76)=0.624V

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Mn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}

where,

E_{cell} = electrode potential of the cell = 0.660 V

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.624 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

[Zn^{2+}]=2.5\times 10^{-3}M

[Sn^{2+}] = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.660=0.624-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}}{[Sn^{2+}})

[Sn^{2+}]=9.0\times 10^{-3}M

Hence, the concentration of Sn^{2+} ions is 9.0\times 10^{-3}M

the vapor pressure of a naqueous solution is found to be 24.9 mmgh at 25C. what is the mole fraction of solute in this solution?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Mole fraction of solute is 0.0462

Explanation:

To solve this we use the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure.

First of all, we search for vapor pressure of pure water at 25°C  = 23.8 Torr

Now, we convert the Torr to mmHg. Ratio is 1:1, so 23.8 Torr is 23.8 mmHg.

Formula for lowering vapor pressure is:

ΔP = P° . Xm

Where ΔP = P' (Vapor pressure of solution) - P° (Vapor pressure of pure solvent)

Xm = mole fraction

24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg = 23mmHg . Xm

Xm = (24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg) /  23mmHg

Xm = 0.0462
