Step  one  calculate  the  moles  of  each  element
that  is  moles= %  composition/molar  mass
molar  mass  of    Ca  =  40g/mol,     S=  32  g/mol ,   O=  16 g/mol

moles  of      Ca = 29.4 /40g/mol=0.735 moles,      S= 23.5/32  =0.734 moles,  O= 47.1/16= 2.94   moles

calculate  the mole  ratio  by  dividing   each  mole with  smallest  mole   that   is  0.734
Ca=  0.735/0.734= 1,      S=  0.734/0.734 =1,   O  = 2.94/  0.734= 4
therefore  the  emipical  formula  =  CaSO4

What is water's density at 93 ∘C? Assume a constant coefficient of volume expansion. Express your answer with the appropriate un
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

982.5 kg/m³

Explanation:

When the temperature of a fluid increases, it dilates, and because of the variation of the volume, it's density will vary too. The density can be calculated by the expression:

ρ₁ = ρ₀/(1 + β*(t₁ - t₀))

Where ρ₁ is the final density, ρ₀ the initial density, β is the constant coefficient of volume expansion, t₁ the final temperature, and t₀ the initial temperature.

At t₀ = 4°C, the water desity is ρ₀ = 1,000 kg/m³. The value of the constant for water is β = 0.0002 m³/m³ °C, so, for t₁ = 93°C

ρ₁ = 1,000/(1 + 0.0002*(93 - 4))

ρ₁ = 1,000/(1+ 0.0178)

ρ₁ = 982.5 kg/m³
