CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.

The number of atom or moles in the compound is

1.17 g C X  1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.

0.287 g H x 1 mol of  H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.

This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.

So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.

Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.

we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.

0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.

So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.

We can write the above formula as a CH3.

Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

Answer:

The correct answer is - scientific law.

Explanation:

A scientific law is an explanation to a well observed phenomenon of the world which is found true every time tested and universal proven fact, but the reason behind the phenomenon and its existence.

To explain the scientific law there will be various explanation that are called scientific theory, however these theories can not be proved.

Thus, the correct answer is - scientific law.

How much energy is used to melt 44.33 g of solid oxygen?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Q1 = C * m * dT

Q2 = Qm * m

Qtotal = Q1 + Q2

Q1 - is amount of energy you need to apply to heat oxygen from the current temperature till you reach the melting temperature. Only if the oxygen is below to melting temperature.

C - is calorific capacity of oxygen -- better look at tables, it is a constant value

m - is the amount of oxygen, we will use moles because the other data shows moles, but could be grams, kg, etc.

dT - is the diference of temperatures between the current and the melting one. The melting temperature is constant and you can find it on tables, then (Tm - To)

Q2 is the amount of energy you have to add to melt oxygen once the oxygen has reached the melting temperature (Tm)

Qm is a constant value you could find on tables, depends on the mass of oxygen and is due to internal processes as changes in atomic distributions

If the oxygen is initially at melting temperature (melting point) you only need to know Q2, as dT = 0

I will do an example for you, but in future you should provide data of constants, it takes very long to find them in books or internet.

Data from tables

Tm =  54.36 K

C = 29.378 J/mol K this is at 25 C (or 298 K), is not really correct, you should look at its value at less than 54.36 K, but you can use it here.

Qm = 0.444 kJ/mol

Problem -- you have 44.33g of Oxygen -- Molecular weight of O2 is 32 g/mol

So you have 44.33/32 = 1.385 moles of oxygen

a) if oxygen is already at melting temperature: you only have to melt it

Qtotal = Q1 + Q2 = [0 (dT = 0) + Qm * m] = 0.444 * 1.385 = 0.615 kJ = 615 J

b) supposing an initial temperture of 50 K: now you have to heat oxygen till melting temperature and then melt it.

Q1 = C * m * dT = 29.378 * 1.385 * (54.36 - 50) = 177.442 J

Q2 = Qm * m = 615 J

Qtotal = 177.442 + 615 = 792.44 J
