Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound is made up of sulfur and oxygen atoms, with a ratio of 1:2, indicating that it is a sulfide oxide. The prefix "di" indicates that there are two oxygen atoms, which narrows down the choices to sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. However, the boiling point of -10F1F1F1S1U1B0 (-57C, or -70.6F) corresponds with the boiling point of sulfur dioxide, which is -10C (14F). Therefore, the best choice is D, sulfur dioxide.
