We calculate first the number of moles of CO2 and H2O produced by dividing the given masses by the molar masses of CO2 and H2O.
moles CO2 = (12.9 g CO2) x (1 mole CO2 / 12 g CO2) = 1.075 moles.
moles H2O = (6.15 g H2O) x (1 mole H2O / 18 g H2O) = 0.36 moles
Then, we count the number of C, H, and O moles. This gives us 1.075 moles C, 2.5 moles O and 0.72 moles H. The empirical formula is,
C1.075H0.72O2.5
Simplifying,
C4H3O10
Answer:
c = 0.25 j/g.°C
Explanation:
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
Given data:
Mass of metal = 50.0 g
Heat needed = 314 j
Initial temperature = 25°C
Final temperature = 50 °C
Specific heat = ?
Solution:
ΔT = 50 °C - 25°C = 25°C
Q = m.c. ΔT
c = Q / m. ΔT
c = 314 j / 50.0 g . 25°C
c = 314 j / 1250 g. °C
c = 0.25 j/g.°C
Hey there!:
Mass = 2.98 g
Volume = 2.12 L
Therefore:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 2.98 / 2.12
Density = 1.405 g/L
