Answer 1

Question what are you doing the same thing you guys have a good time

Step-by-step explanation:

is this the same question why did they do that and how much they do it

Answer 2

Empirical formula is SO2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the fraction of Sulphur is 0.50 and the fraction of oxygen is 0.50.

Dividing by the atomic masses of sulphur and oxygen:

S = .50 / 32 = 0.015625

O = .50 / 16 = 0.3125

Ratio of S: O = 0.015625/ 0.015625 to 0.3125/ 0.015625

= 1:2.
