Answer:

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sulfur = 3.21 grams

Mass of fluorine = 11.4 grams

Molar mass sulfur = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass fluorine = 19.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass /molar mass

Moles sulfur = 3.21 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles sulfur = 0.100 moles

Moles fluorine = 11.4 grams / 19.00 g/mol

Moles fluorine = 0.600 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.100 / 0.100 = 1

F : 0.600 / 0.100 = 6

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

How many molecules of glucose are in 1 l of a 100 mm glucose solution?
Karolina [17]

Answer is: 6.022·10²² molecules of glucose.

c(glucose) = 100 mM.

c(glucose) = 100 · 10⁻³ mol/L.

c(glucose) = 0.1 mol/L; concentration of glucose solution.

V(glucose) = 1 L; volume of glucose solution.

n(glucose) = c(glucose) · V(glucose).

n(glucose) = 0.1 mol/L · 1 L.

n(glucose) = 0.1 mol; amount of substance.

N(glucose) = n(glucose) · Na (Avogadro constant).

N(glucose) = 0.1 mol · 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.

N(glucose) = 6.022·10²².
