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

How much heat, in joules, must be added to a 75.0-g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 J/g °C to increase its temperature
svp [43]

Answer:

50,849.25 Joules

Explanation:

The amount of heat, Q, required to raise the temperature of a body with mass, m, and specific heat capacity, c is given by:

Q = mcΔT, where ΔT represents the change in temperature.

In the case of the iron block:

m = 75 g

c = 0.449 J/g °C

ΔT = 1535 - 25 = 1510 °C

Therefore,

Q = 75 g x 0.449 J/g °C x 1510 °C

     = 50,849.25 Joules

<em>Hence, </em><em>50,849.25 Joules </em><em> of heat must be added to  a 75.0-g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 J/g °C to increase its temperature from 25 °C to its melting temperature of 1535 °C</em>
