Sulfur and fluorine form several different compounds including sulfur hexafluoride and sulfur tetrafluoride. Decomposition of a sample of sulfur hexafluoride produced 4.44 g of fluorine and 1.25 g of sulfur, while decomposition of a sample of sulfur tetrafluoride produced 4.44 g of fluorine and 1.88 g of sulfur. Calculate the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur for the sample of sulfur hexafluoride.

See Explanation

Explanation:

For SF6;

Since;

1.25 g of S corresponds to 4.44g of F

1 g of sulphur corresponds to 1 * 4.44/1.25 = 3.55

For SF4;

Since;

1.88 g of S corresponds to 4.44g of F

1 g of sulphur corresponds to 1 * 4.44/ 1.88  = 2.36

Hence;

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulphur in SF6/Mass of oxygen per gram of sulphur in SF4

=

3.55/2.36 = 1.5

Hence the law of multiple proportion is obeyed here.

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
