Suppose we have 100 gr of the substance. Then by weight, it would contain 44.77 gr of C, 7.46 gr of H and 47.76 gr of S. We need to look up the atomic weights of these atoms; M_H=1, M_C=12, M_S=32. The following formula holds (where n are the moles of the substance, M its molecular mass and m its mass): n=m/M. Substituting the known quantities for each element, we get that the substance has 3.73 moles of C, 7.46 moles of H and 1.49 moles of S. In the empirical formula for the molecule, all atoms appear an integer amout of times. Hence, for every mole of Sulfur, we have 2.5 moles of C and 5 moles of H (by taking the moles ratios). Thus, for every 2 moles of sulfur, we have 5 moles of C and 10 moles of H. Now that all the coefficients are integer, we have arrived at an empirical formula for the skunk spray agent: 
Answer : The internal energy change is -2805.8 kJ/mol
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter.
where,
q = heat gained = ?
c = specific heat =
= final temperature =
= initial temperature =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change during the reaction.
where,
= enthalpy change = ?
q = heat gained = 23.4 kJ
n = number of moles fructose =
Therefore, the enthalpy change during the reaction is -2805.8 kJ/mole
Now we have to calculate the internal energy change for the combustion of 1.501 g of fructose.
Formula used :
or,
where,
= change in enthalpy =
= change in internal energy = ?
= change in moles = 0 (from the reaction)
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K
T = temperature =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the internal energy change is -2805.8 kJ/mol
