Answer:

C4H10O

In case it's not understandable: c four, h ten, no

Explanation:

Molar mass of each component: C = 12.0107, H = 1.00794, O = 15.9994

Convert to moles: C = 5.3951892895502, H = 13.492866638887, O=1.3500506268985

Find the smallest mole value: 1.3500506268985

Divide all components by the smallest value: C = 3.9962866444087, H=9.9943412269543, O = 1

Round to closest whole numbers: C = 4, H = 10, O = 1

Combine to get the empirical formula: C4H10O

Find a periodic table of elements.<span> This is a color-coded table made up of many different squares that lists all of the chemical elements known to humankind. The periodic table reveals lots of information about the elements — we'll use some of this information to determine the number of valence electrons in the atom we're investigating. You can usually find these inside the cover of chemistry textbooks. There is also an excellent interactive table available online </span>here<span>.</span>

A 23.5g aluminum block is warmed to 65.9°C and plunged into an insulated beaker containing 55.0g water initially at 22.3°C. The
atroni [7]

Answer:

25.97oC

Explanation:

Heat lost by aluminum = heat gained by water

M(Al) x C(Al) x [ Temp(Al) – Temp(Al+H2O) ] = M(H2O) x C(H2O) x [ Temp(Al+H2O) – Temp(H2O) ]

Where M(Al) = 23.5g, C(Al) = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 0.900J/goC, Temp(Al) = 65.9oC, Temp(Al+H2O)= temperature of water and aluminum at equilibrium = ?, M(H2O) = 55.0g, C(H2O)= specific heat capacity of liquid water = 4.186J/goC

Let Temp(Al+H2O) = X

23.5 x 0.900 x (65.9-X) = 55.0 x 4.186 x (X-22.3)

21.15(65.9-X) = 230.23(X-22.3)

1393.785 - 21.15X = 230.23X – 5134.129

230.23X + 21.15X = 1393.785 + 5134.129

251.38X = 6527.909

X = 6527.909/251.38

X = 25.97oC

So, the final temperature of the water and aluminum is = 25.97oC
