The specific heat capacity of the given substance is -0.66 J/g°C.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The heat absorbed by any substance is the product of its mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
q = m × c × ΔT
m is the mass in grams
q = amount of heat released or absorbed in J
ΔT = change in temperature in °C = 5 -50 = -45°C
c = specific heat capacity in J/g°C
c =
Plugin the values, we will get,
c =
= -0.66 J/g°C
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound. the molecular formula is the actual ratio of components making up the compound.
the empirical formula is CH₂. We can find the mass of CH₂ one empirical unit and have to then find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula.
Mass of one empirical unit - CH₂ - 12 g/mol x 1 + 1 g/mol x 2 = 12 = 14 g
Molar mass of the compound is - 252 .5 g/mol
number of empirical units = molar mass / mass of empirical unit
=
= 18 units
Therefore molecular formula is - 18 times the empirical formula
molecular formula - CH₂ x 18 = C₁₈H₃₆
molecular formula is C₁₈H₃₆
