CH₇ is the empirical formula of the car fuel.

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula we use the following algorithm.

First divide each mass the the molar weight of each element:

for carbon 2.87 / 12 = 0.239

for hydrogen 3.41 / 2 = 1.705

And now divide each quantity by the lowest number which is 0.239:

for carbon 0.239 / 0.239 = 1

for hydrogen 1.705 / 0.239 = 7.13 ≈ 7

The empirical formula of the car fuel is CH₇.

I have to tell you that in reality this formula is wrong because is not possible to exist. However the algorithm for finding the empirical formula is right, the problem may reside in the amounts of carbon and hydrogen given.

The ph of coffee is 5.6. The ph of grapefruit juice is 2.6. This means that the proton concentration in coffee is
Brrunno [24]

pH scale is used to measure the acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 0-14 where 0-6.9 is the acidic region , 7.1-14 is the basic region and 7 is for the neutral substance. We can calculate the concentration of proton from pH.

pH=-log[H^+]  

where [H^+] is the concentration of proton

As per the question ,the pH of coffee is 5.6 and we need to find the concentration of proton so putting the values in the above equation, we get

5.6=-log[H^+]

-5.6=log[H^+]

antilog(-5.6)= [H^+]

[H^+]= 2.511\times10^-^6 M

What happens when a system loses energy
slavikrds [6]
During most processes, energy is exchanged between the system and the surroundings. If the system loses a certain amount of energy, that same amount of energy is gained by the surroundings. ... for an exothermic process is negative because the system is losing heat.
