Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound 
in 100 g of compound 
                                C                          H                          O
mass                   25.5 g                     6.40 g                 68.1 g
number of moles  25.5 g/12 g/mol      6.40 g/ 1 g/mol      68.1 g/ 16 g/mol 
                             = 2.13 mol              = 6.40 mol          = 4.26 mol
divide by least number of moles 
                             2.13/2.13 = 1          6.40/2.13 = 3.0    4.26/2.13 = 2.0
all rounded off 
C - 1
H - 3
O - 2

empirical formula - CH₃O₂

What is an air mass? Where on Earth might you find a hot and dry air mass?
igor_vitrenko [27]
An air mass is a large volume of air in the atmosphere thats mostly uniform in temperature and moisture. Air masses can extend thousands of kilometers across the surface of the Earth, and can reach from ground level to the stratosphere/10 miles into the atmosphere. an air mass over northern Canada is a continental polar air mass and is cold and dry. One that forms over the Indian Ocean is called a maritime tropical air mass and is warm and humid.

The specific heat of a substance is the heat that must be absorbed to increase the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 deg
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise one gram of a particular substance by one degree Celsius or Kelvin.

Formula for calculating specific heat is the amount of heat absorbed or released = mass x specific heat x change in temperature.

= m * Cp * delta T
