<span>What is the molecular formula of a compound containing 25.6g of oxygen, 12.6g of sulfur and 0.4g of hydrogen? The Mr of the compound is 194.2</span>
You need to use Avogadro's constant to convert from atoms of carbon to moles of carbon.
1.71*10^24 atoms C * (1 mole/6.022*10^23 atoms) = 2.84 moles of carbon
Explanation:
The given reaction equation will be as follows.
Now, number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.
Number of atoms on product side are as follows.
Therefore, this equation is balanced since atoms on both reactant and product sides are equal.
Thus, we can conclude that there is one sulfur atom in the products.
Since the temperature is constant, therefore, this problem can be solved based on Boyle's law.
Boyle's law states that: " At constant temperature, the pressure of a certain mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure".
This can be written as:
P1V1 = P2V2
where:
P1 is the initial pressure = 1 atm
V1 is the initial volume = 3.6 liters
P2 is the final pressure = 2.5 atm
V2 is the final volume that we need to calculate
Substitute with the givens in the above mentioned equation to get the final volume as follows:
P2V1 = P2V2
1(3.6) = 2.5V2
3.6 = 2.5V2
V2 = 3.6 / 2.5 = 1.44 liters
