Compound A contains 5.2% by mass of nitrogen as well as C, H and O. Combustion of 0.0850 g of compound A gave 0.224 g of CO2 and
0.0372 g of H2O. Calculate the empirical formula of A?

Explanation:
- It is known that the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by
is known as specific heat.
Since, q =
So, larger is the specific heat of a substance less will be the change in its temperature.
Therefore, olive oil has less specific heat as compared to water. This means that olive oil would get hotter.
- Similarly, the specific heat of gold is lesser than the given materials or metals. Hence, gold will requires less heat to rise its temperature.
As a result, water present in gold will heat readily.
- As the relation between heat and specific heat is as follows.
q =
Therefore, calculate the amount of heat required by the water as follows.
q =
=
= 33440 J
or, = 33.44 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)
Thus, 33.44 kJ heat would it take to raise the temperature of 100.0 g of water from to
