Type and ratio. The empirical formula is a reduced version of the molecular formula
likoan [24]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:- An empirical formula describes the type and ratio of atoms present in a chemical compound.

For example, chemical formula for benzene is C_6H_6. It has six carbons and six hydrogens. The ratio of C to H atoms is 1:1 and so the empirical formula of benzene is CH.

The temperature of a sample of water increases from 20.9°C to 45.5°C as it absorbs 5637 J of heat. What is the mass of the sampl
djyliett [7]
Q = 5637 J

 C =4.814 J/KgºC

Temperature  : 45.5ºC - 20.9º C = 24.6ºC

Q = m x C  x T

5637 = m x 4.814 x 24.6

5637 = m x 118.4244

m = 5637 / 118.4244

m = 47.60 g

hope this helps!

How much heat will a 45.00 g piece of glass require to change its temperature from 10 to 30 °C. The specific heat capacity is 0.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Q = 450 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a piece of glass, m = 45 g

The temperature changes from 10°C to 30°C.

The specific heat is 0.5 J/g°C

We need to find heat required to raise the temperature. The formula that is used to find it is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=45\times 0.5\times (30-10)\\\\Q=450\ J

So, the required heat is 450 J. Hence, the correct option is (c).

Consider the reaction represented by the equation?2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g).?For the system at chemical equilibrium, which of the
rewona [7]

Answer:

b. The amount of SO3(g) decreases and the value for K increases.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction:

2SO_2(g) + O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons  2SO_3(g)

The change in the stoichiometric coefficient is:

\Delta \nu=2-2-1=-1

In such a way, since the reagents have more moles than the products, based on Le Chatelier's principle, if the volume is increased, the side with more moles is favored. In addition, since the formation of reagent is favored, K is diminished based on the law of mass action shown below:

K=\frac{[SO_3]_{eq}^2}{[SO_2]_{eq}^2[O_2]_{eq}}

Therefore the answer is:

b. The amount of SO3(g) decreases and the value for K increases.

Best regards.

Why are conductors better than insulators to carry electric current
marysya [2.9K]

Conductors are better than insulators to carry electric current because they give the electricity the ability to flow freely throughout circuits. This helps the insulator to do its job of containing the electric charge. Examples of this would be a tv plug - the rubber surrounding the TV plug helps to keep the conductors (wires) in place, thus helping to facilitate an electric charge.
