First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
= 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
=0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
= 0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16)
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2
Answer:
3. The temperatures of the two substances equalize.
Explanation:
- As two objects at different temperatures are placed in contact, heat is transferred from the warmer to the cooler object until the temperature of the two objects be the same.
- The amount of heat that is transferred from the warmer object is equal to the amount of heat that is transferred into the cooler object.
- This is in agreement with the law of conservation of energy.
- <em>So, the right choice is: 3. The temperatures of the two substances equalize. </em>
<em></em>
It would be a,b,c as the answer. hope this helps!
