What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 29.44 percent calcium 23.55 percent sulfur and 47.01 percent oxygen?
CaSO4
What is the empirical formula for 16 grams of sulfur reacting with 24 grams of oxygen?
To find empirical formulas, masses of elemental reactants must be changed to gram atoms by dividing the mass by the gram atomic masses of each element. Thus, 16 grams of sulfur constitutes 16/32.06 or 0.50 mole to the justified number of significant digits, and 24 grams of oxygen constitutes 24/15.9994 or 1.50 moles of oxygen to the justified number of significant digits. Therefore, the atomic ratio of oxygen to sulfur in the compound is 1.50/0.50 or 3, and the empirical formula is SO3.
What is the formula mass for tin sulfate?
Tin sulfate is made out of the elements tin, sulfur and oxygen. The mass numbers of tin, oxygen and sulfur are 117, 16 and 32 respectively. Therefore the molecular weight of the empirical formula is 215 g/mol.
What is the empirical formula for calcium and sulfur?
The calcium sulfide is CaS.
WHAT IS THE CHEMICAL FORMULA OF sulfur tetrafluoride?
The chemical formula for sulfur tetrafluoride is SF4.
What is the empirical formula of a compound that is 40percent sulfur and 60percent oxygen by weight?
SO3
Does CO2 and SO2 have the same empirical formula?
No, Compounds with the same empirical formula have the same elements in the same ratio. SO2 and CO2 contain different elements. SO2 is a compound of sulfur and oxygen while CO2 is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 29.44 percent calcium 23.55 percent sulfur and 47.01 percent oxygen?
CaSO4
What is the definition of the word sulfur dioxide?
"Sulfur dioxide" is a phrase, not a word. This phrase is the name of a chemical compound of sulfur and oxygen with a molecular and empirical chemical formula of SO2.
What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 57 percent sulfur and 43 percent oxygen by mass?
Since the atomic mass of sulfur is very close to twice the atomic mass of oxygen, the ratio of numbers of oxygen atoms to numbers of oxygen atoms is close to 43:28.5. The closest ratio of small integers is 3:2; therefore the empirical formula is S2O3.
What is the chemical formula for the compound cobalt and the sulfur ion?
The chemical formula for the compound of cobalt and sulfur is CoS (cobalt monosulfide).
What is the empirical formula of a compound that is 4 percent sulfur and 6 percent oxygen by weight?
We can't tell. What's the other 90 percent? If you meant 40/60 instead... the mass of sulfur is twice that of oxygen, so a mass ratio of 40:60 is equivalent to an atom ratio of 1:3. The empirical formula would be SO3.
What is the empirical formula of a compound which is 64.80 percent carbon 6.35 percent hydrogen and 28.83 percent sulfur?

What is the empirical formula of a compound that is 40 percent sulfur and 60 percent oxygen by weight?
We assume 100 grams of compound and change % to grams. Get moles. 40 grams S (1 mole S/32.07 grams) = 1.247 60 grams O (1 mole O/16.0 grams) = 3.75 Now, the smallest mole value, sulfur, is 1. Divide the oxygen mole value by the sulfur mole value. 3.75 mole O/1.247 mole S = 3.00 SO3 ------- is the empirical formula

What is the formula for a compound between carbon and sulfur?
Sulfur bonds just like oxygen, so just as carbon and oxygen form the very stable compound CO2, so is it that carbon and sulfur form the stable compound CS2.
