The empirical formula for the compound is - P₂O₅
the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound.
we have to first find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula 
molecular mass - 283.89 g/mol
mass of empirical formula - 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 283.89 g/mol / 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 1.000 
therefore empirical formula = molecular formula 
molecular formula - P₂O₅

How much energy (in J) is lost when a sample of iron with a mass of 26.4 g cools from 74.0 ∘C to 26.0 ∘C?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Q=-526.6J

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the computation of the energy loss when the cooling process is carried out, we use the shown below equation:

Q=mCp\Delta T

Whereas we need the mass, specific heat and change in temperature of iron within the process. Thus, the only value we need is the specific heat that is 0.444 J/(g°C), therefore, we compute the heat loss:

Q=26.4g*0.444\frac{J}{g\°C}*(26.0\°C-74.0\°C)\\ \\Q=-526.6J

Negative sign points out the loss due to the cooling.

Regards.
