Suppose we have 100 gr of the substance. Then by weight, it would contain 44.77 gr of C, 7.46 gr of H and 47.76 gr of S. We need to look up the atomic weights of these atoms; M_H=1, M_C=12, M_S=32. The following formula holds (where n are the moles of the substance, M its molecular mass and m its mass): n=m/M. Substituting the known quantities for each element, we get that the substance has 3.73 moles of C, 7.46 moles of H and 1.49 moles of S. In the empirical formula for the molecule, all atoms appear an integer amout of times. Hence, for every mole of Sulfur, we have 2.5 moles of C and 5 moles of H (by taking the moles ratios). Thus, for every 2 moles of sulfur, we have 5 moles of C and 10 moles of H. Now that all the coefficients are integer, we have arrived at an empirical formula for the skunk spray agent: C_5H_{10}S_2

What did Thomas Young, Max planck and Albert Einstein contribute towards the nature of light?
Lera25 [3.4K]

The contribution to the nature of light-

Thomas Young - wave nature of light (double-slit experiment)

Max Planck - E = hv

Albert Einstein - a quantum theory of light

Thomas Young proposed the most important double-slit experiment which shows that light acts like a wave and shows the pattern of interferences.

Max Planck proposed that light is proportional to frequency. He gave the equation, E = hv, where E is the energy of light, h is Planck's constant, and v is the frequency.

Albert Einstein proposed the quantum theory of light. He determined that light exists in discrete quanta of energy called photons.

6. A piece of solid gold was heated from 274K to 314K. 35.73 of energy was needed to raise the temperature.
ivanzaharov [21]

From Q = mcΔT, we can rearrange the equation to solve for mass, m = Q/cΔT. The specific heat capacity, c, of solid gold is 0.129 J/g °C. I'm assuming that the energy is given in joules, as it's not specified in the question as written.

m = Q/cΔT = (35.73 J)/(0.129 J/g °C)(40.85 °C - 0.85°C)

m = 6.92 g of gold was present
