Answer:
0.70 J/g.°C
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Mass of graphite (m): 402 g
- Heat absorbed (Q): 1136 J
- Initial temperature: 26°C
- Specific heat of graphite (c): ?
Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of graphite
We will use the following expression.
Q = c × m × ΔT
c = Q / m × ΔT
c = 1136 J / 402 g × (30°C - 26°C)
c = 0.70 J/g.°C
The molecular formula of the compound that we are required to find is the compound C4H8O8
<h3>What is empirical formula?</h3>
The empirical formula of a compound is a formula that shows the ratio of each atom present in the compound. We will start by dividing each mass with the relative atomic mass of the atom.
Carbon - 48.38 g/12 Hydrogen - 6.74 g/1 Oxygen - 53.5 g/16
Carbon - 4 Hydrogen - 6.74 Oxygen - 8.9
Dividing through by the lowest ratio;
Carbon - 4/4 Hydrogen - 6.74/4 Oxygen 8.9/4
Carbon 1 Hydrogen 2 Oxygen 2
The empirical formula is CH2O2.
