A gas forms when elemental sulfur is heated carefully with AgF. The initial product boils at 15 °C. Experiments on several samples yielded a gas density of 0.803 ± 0.010 g/L for the gas at 150 mm pressure and 32 °C. When the gas reacts with water, all the fluorine is converted to aqueous HF. Other products are elemental sulfur, S8, and other sulfur-containing compounds. A 480-mL sample of the dry gas at 126 mm pressure and 28 °C, when re-acted with 80 mL of water, yielded a 0.081 M solution of HE The initial gaseous product undergoes a transformation over a period of time to a second compound with the same empirical and molecular formula, which boils at —10 °C. (a) Determine the empirical and molecular formulas of the first compound formed. (b) Draw at least two reasonable Lewis structures that represent the initial compound and the one into which it is trans-formed over time. (c) Describe the likely geometries of these compounds, and estimate the single bond distances, given that the S—S bond distance in S8 is 2.04 and the F - F distance in
