The empirical formula of the substance would be $NH_4Cl$

<h3>Empirical formula calculation</h3>

The constituents of the compound are as follows:

N = 54/201.6 = 26.78% = 26.78/14 = 1.91 moles

H = 15/201.6 = 7.44% = 7.44/1 = 7.44 moles

Cl = 132.6/201.6 = 65.48% = 65.48/35.5 = 1.84 moles

Divide the number of moles by the smallest"

N = 1.91/1.84 = 1

H = 7.44/1.84 = 4

Cl = 1.84/1.84 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula is $NH_4Cl$

Otrada [13]

Answer:
20 L of Cl₂

Solution:

The reaction is as follow,

H₂C₂ + 2 Cl₂ → H₂C₂Cl₄

According to equation,

167.84 g (1 mole) H₂C₂Cl₄ is produced by = 44.8 L (2 mole) of Cl₂
So,
75 g of H₂C₂Cl₄ will be produced by = X L of Cl₂

Solving for X,
X = (44.8 L × 75 g) ÷ 167.84 g

X = 20 L of Cl₂

For most solids at room temperature, the specific heat is determined by oscillations of the atom cores in the lattice (each osci

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The specific heat of copper is $C= 392 J/kg\cdot ^o K$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The amount of energy contributed by each oscillating lattice site is $E =3 kT$

The atomic mass of copper is $M = 63.6 g/mol$

The atomic mass of aluminum is $m_a = 27.0g/mol$

The specific heat of aluminum is $c_a = 900 J/kg-K$

The objective of this solution is to obtain the specific heat of copper

Now specific heat can be defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by $1 ^o K$

The general equation for specific heat is

$C = \frac{dU}{dT}$

Where $dT$ is the change in temperature

$dU$ is the change in internal energy

The internal energy is mathematically evaluated as

$U = 3nk_BT$

Where $k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant with a value of $1.38*10^{-23} kg \cdot m^2 /s^2 \cdot ^o K$

T is the room temperature

n is the number of atoms in a substance

Generally number of atoms in mass of an element can be obtained using the mathematical operation

$n = \frac{m}{M} * N_A$

Where $N_A$ is the Avogadro's number with a constant value of $6.022*10^{23} / mol$

M is the atomic mass of the element

m actual mass of the element

So the number of atoms in 1 kg of copper is evaluated as

$m = 1 kg = 1 kg * \frac{10000 g}{1kg } = 1000g$

The number of atom is

$n = \frac{1000}{63.6} * (6.0*0^{23})$

$= 9.46*10^{24} \ atoms$

Now substituting the equation for internal energy into the equation for specific heat

$C = \frac{d}{dT} (3 n k_B T)$

$=3nk_B$

Substituting values

$C = 3 (9.46*10^{24} )(1.38 *10^{-23})$

$C= 392 J/kg\cdot ^o K$
