Chemistry

Leno4ka [110]3 years ago
3 0
W(Cl)=0.3877
w(O)=0.6123
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol
M(O)=16.0 g/mol

ClₐOₓ
M(ClₐOₓ)=35.5a+16.0x

w(Cl)=35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)
w(O)=16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)

solve a system of two equations with two unknowns
35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.3877
16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.6123

a=2
x=7

Cl₂O₇ is the empirical formula

lianna [129]

Answer :

An egg cooking is an endothermic reaction.

A candle burning and Plaster & water combining and becoming warm are exothermic reaction.

Salt being added to water, with no change in temperature neither endothermic nor exothermic reaction.

Explanation :

  • Endothermic reaction : It is a type of reaction in which energy is absorbed in the form of heat from the surroundings.
  • Exothermic reaction : It is a type of reaction in which energy is released in the form of heat from the system.

An egg cooking : In this process, the energy is absorbed in the form of heat.

A candle burning and Plaster & water combining and becoming warm : In both the process, the energy is released in the form of heat.

Salt being added to water, with no change in temperature : In this process, neither energy released nor absorbed.
