Answer: The empirical formula of the compound becomes
<u>Explanation:</u>
The empirical formula is the chemical formula of the simplest ratio of the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.
We are given:
Mass of C = 48.38 g
Mass of H = 6.74 g
Mass of O = 53.5 g
The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:
......(1)
To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:
- <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.
Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol
Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol
Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
- <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.
Calculating the mole fraction of each element by dividing the calculated moles by the least calculated number of moles that is 3.023 moles
- <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.
The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1
Hence, the empirical formula of the compound becomes
Answer:
The large relative distances between particles in a gas means that there is considerable empty space between the particles.
The assumption that particles in a gas are relatively far apart explains gas compressibility.
Compressibility is a measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure.
Energy is released by a gas when it is compressed
Explanation:
The kinetic molecular theory establishes that gases are composed of molecules. These molecules of gas are far apart from each other hence there is a considerable empty space between the gas molecules. As a result of these empty spaces between gas molecules, it is possible to compress a gas.
Compressibility is defined as a measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure. When a gas is compressed, work is done on the gas and energy is evolved hence the gas heats up.
D, the more liquid there is, the less the temperature will be affected
Answer:
c =0.2 J/g.°C
Explanation:
Given data:
Specific heat of material = ?
Mass of sample = 12 g
Heat absorbed = 48 J
Initial temperature = 20°C
Final temperature = 40°C
Solution:
Specific heat capacity:
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = 40°C -20°C
ΔT = 20°C
48 J = 12 g×c×20°C
48 J =240 g.°C×c
c = 48 J/240 g.°C
c =0.2 J/g.°C
Everything has chemical properties it depends on the reactivity and the reactivity of the other element and what form it is in
