The empirical formula of a compound found to have 55.7% hafnium and 44.3% chlorine is HfCl4.

<h3>How to calculate empirical formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound is a notation indicating the ratios of the various elements present in a compound, without regard to the actual numbers.

The empirical formula of the given compound can be calculated as follows:

  • Hafnium = 55.7% = 55.7g
  • Chlorine = 44.3% = 44.3g

First, we convert mass values to moles by dividing by the molar mass of each element

  • Hafnium = 55.7g ÷ 178.49g/mol = 0.312mol
  • Chlorine = 44.3g ÷ 35.5g/mol = 1.25mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest

  • Hafnium = 0.312 ÷ 0.312 = 1
  • Chlorine = 1.25 ÷ 0.312 = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula of a compound found to have 55.7% hafnium and 44.3% chlorine is HfCl4.

In a science lab, a student heats up a chemical from 10 °C to 25 °C which requires thermal energy of 30000 J. If mass of the obj
olganol [36]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the object is 50 J/g°C ( option 4 is correct)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Initial temperature = 10.0 °C

Final temperature = 25.0 °C

Energy required = 30000 J

Mass of the object = 40.0 grams

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the object

Q = m* c * ΔT

⇒With Q = the heat required = 30000 J

⇒with m = the mass of the object = 40.0 grams

⇒with c = the specific heat capacity of the object = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T2 = 25.0 °C - 10.0°C = 15.0 °C

30000 J = 40.0 g * c * 15.0 °C

c = 30000 J / (40.0 g * 15.0 °C)

c = 50 J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the object is 50 J/g°C ( option 4 is correct)
