Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound. 
empirical formula can be calculated as follows
                      C                             H                          O
mass          12.0 g                      2.00 g                   5.33 g 
number of moles  
                  12.0 g / 12 g/mol    2.00 g / 1 g/mol       5.33 g / 16 g/mol 
                    = 1.00 mol                = 2.00 mol           = 0.333 mol
divide by the least number of moles
                   1.00 / 0.333              2.00 / 0.333          0.333/ 0.333 
                    = 3.00                     = 6.01                    = 1.00
the number of atoms 
C - 3
H - 6
O - 1
empirical formula is C₃H₆O

How much heat is required to increase the temperature of 20 grams of water by 26 degrees celsius?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: 2175.68 J heat is required to increase the temperature of 20 grams of water by 26 degrees celsius.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 20 g

Change in temperature = 26^{o}C

The standard value of specific heat of water is 4.184 J/ g^{o}C

Formula used to calculate the heat energy is as follows.

q = m \times C \times \Delta T

where,

q = heat energy

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat of substance

\Delta T = change in temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

q = m \times C \times \Delta T\\= 20 g \times 4.184 J/g ^{o}C \times 26^{o}C\\= 2175.68 J

Thus, we can conclude that 2175.68 J heat is required to increase the temperature of 20 grams of water by 26 degrees celsius.
