Sulfur (MM= 32.06 g/mol) can combine with oxygen in different ratios to form compounds of general formula SxOy. In one compound for each gram of oxygen there are 0.501 g of Sulfur. In another compound for each gram of oxygen there are 4.007 g of Sulfur. Which of the following sets of compounds is compatible with these measurements? S2O and S6O2 SO and SO4 (Your answer) SO3 and S2O SO and SO3 SO4 and S2O (Correct answer)
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
