Answer:

Emperical formula of the acid is CH2O

Molecular formula is C2H4O2

Explanation:

C. H. O

% by mass. 40. 6.71 53.29

MW. 12. 1. 16

Mole 40/12. 6.71/1. 53.29/16

3.33. 6.71. 3.33

3.33/3.33 6.71/3.33 3.33/3.33

1. 2. 1

Emperical Formula (EF): CH2O

Molecular Formula (MF)

Molecular Weight (MW) of acid = mole/mass = 0.00278/0.167 = 60g/mol

MF = (EF)n = 60

(CH2O)n = 60

(12+2+16)n = 60

30n = 60

n = 60/30 = 2

Molecular formula = (EF)n = (CH2O)2 = C2H4O2

<span> The temperature of the water in both beakers is greater than 8 °C
This is because since the water passes on heat to the spheres, that means they are at a higher temperature then the spheres. if they were at a lower temp. The spheres would pass on heat to the water.

The mass of an erlenmeyer flask is 85.135 g. after 10.00 ml of water is added to the flask, the mass of the flask and the water
BARSIC [14]
Subtracting the mass of (flask+water) from the empty flask gives:
95.023 g - 85.135 g = 9.888 grams of water
Dividing this by the given volume of 10.00 mL water gives:
9.888 grams of water / 10.00 mL of water = 0.9888 g/mL of water
Therefore, based on this sample, the density of water is 0.9888 g/mL, which is close to the usually accepted approximation of 1 g/mL.
