The empirical formula would be CH4.


“To get the empirical formula of the compound, we convert each mass percentage to mole percentage by dividing each to corresponding molar mass. 75% mass of carbon is 6.25 while 25% hydrogen is 25. We divide 25 by 6.25, we get 4. Hence, the empirical formula is CH4.”

How much heat is lost when 575 g of molten iron at 1825 K becomes solid at 1181 K and cools to 293 K?
meriva
Answer is: -963,8 kJ.
Q₁ = m(Fe) · C · ΔT₁.
C - specific heat capacity of liquid iron, C(Fe) = 0,82 J/g°<span>C.
</span>m(Fe) = 575 g.
ΔT₁ = 1181 - 1825 = -644°C.
Q₁ = -859306,5 J = -859,3 kJ.
Q₂ = m(Fe) · C · ΔT₂.
ΔT₂ = 293 - 1181 = -888°C.
C - specific heat capacity, C(Fe) = 0,44 J/g°C.
Q₂ = -224664 J = -224,66 kJ.
Q₃ =- heat of fusion, ΔH = 209 J/g.
Q₃ = 120175 J = 120,17 kJ.
Q = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃ = -963,8 kJ.

Covalent bonded atoms make up what
White raven [17]
In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.
