Explanation:
atom changes from a ground state to an excited state by taking on energy from its surroundings in a process called absorption. The electron absorbs the energy and jumps to a higher energy level. In the reverse process, emission, the electron returns to the ground state by releasing the extra energy it absorbed
Can you please tell me what the procedures are
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the described chemical reaction is:

Thus, for the given reacting masses, we must identify the limiting reactant for us to determine the maximum mass of water that could be produced, therefore, we proceed to compute the available moles of ethane:

Next, we compute the moles of ethane consumed by 13.0 grams of oxygen by using the 1:7/2 molar ratio between them:

Thus, we notice there are less available moles of ethane, for that reason, it is the limiting reactant, thereby, the maximum amount of water is computed by considering the 1:3 molar ratio between ethane and water:

Best regards.
Empirical formula is calculated as follows
calculate the moles of each element, that is % composition/ molar mass
molar masses ( Si= 28.09g/mol , Cl= 35.5 g/mol, I=126.9 g/mol)
moles of silicon = 7.962/28.09g/mol= 0.283 moles
moles of chlorine = 20.10 / 35.5g/mol = 0.566 moles
moles of iodine= 71.94 / 126.9 g/mol= 0.567 moles
divide each mole with smallest mole (0.283)
that is silicon = 0.283/0.283= 1 mole
chlorine = 0.566/0.283= 2 mole
Iodine= o.567/0.283= 2 moles
empirical formula is therefore= SiCl2I2
