Step-by-step explanation:

Molar mass of
CH_(3)SSCH_(3) is 94 g/mol. As it is known that number of moles is equal to mass of a substance divided by its molar mass.

Then, calculate the number of moles as follows.

No. of moles =
(86.0 g)/(94 g/mol) in 1 s

= 0.914 mol

So, in 60 sec number of moles will be equal to 0.914 x 60 = 54.89 mol/min.

Hence, the molar flow rate = 54.89 mol/min

Also, density is equal to mass of a substance divided by its volume.

Density =
(mass)/(volume)

Volume =
(mass)/(Density)

=
(86.0 g)/(1.0625 g/cm^(3))

= 80.941
cm^(3)

As, 80.941
cm^(3) of volume flows in 1 s . Therefore, flow of volume in 1 hour will be calculated as follows.

In 1 hr = 80.941
cm^(3) * 3600

= 291388.24
cm^(3)/hr

Since, 1
cm^(3) = 0.001 L.

So, 291388.24
cm^(3)/hr * 0.001 L/cm^(3)

= 291.38824 L/hr

Thus, we can conclude that molar flow rate in mol/min is 54.89 mol/min and the volumetric flow rate in L/hr is 291.38824 L/hr.
