Question

In a reaction involving manganese, Mn and sulfur, S it was determined that 0.549 g of manganese reacted with 0.642 g of sulfur. From this information, determine the empirical formula of the compound. Molar Mass: Mn = 54.94 g/mol; S= 32.06 g/mol

Expert Solution
Basic

First we convert the mass sulfur and manganese to Moles.

By this moles of Mn & S  , we have to calculate the mole ratio of them , by this we get the empirical formula of compound.
