Answer:

CHO

Explanation:

Carbon = 41%,  Hydrogen = 4.58%, oxygen = 54.6%

Step 1:

Divide through by their respective relative atomic masses

41/ 12,         4.58/1,         54.6/16

3.41              4.58            3.41

Step 2:

Divide by the lowest ratio:

3.41/3.41,      4.58/3.41,     3.41/3.41

1,                    1,                  1

Hence the empirical formula is CHO

Iron(III) oxide is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air. How many grams of Fe2O3 are formed when 25.9 g of Fe reacts
zhuklara [117]
The balanced chemical reaction would be

<span>4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) ---> 2Fe2O3(s) 

We are given the amount of Fe to be used in the reaction. We use this as the starting point for the calculations. We do as follows:

25.9 g Fe (1 mol / 55.85 g) ( 2 mol Fe2O3 / 1 mol Fe ) (159.69 g / mol ) = 262.48 g Fe2O3 produced</span>

state the conditions under which copper reacts with sulphuric (vi) acid and give an equation for the reaction​
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

When the metal reacts with hot, concentrated sulphuric acid, the products of the reaction are copper (II) sulphate, sulphur dioxide and water. Cu + 2H2SO4 = CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H2O. This is a typical redox reaction in which the acid is reduced to SO2, but no hydrogen is produced here

Consider a pot of water at 100 C. If it took 1,048,815 J of energy to vaporize the water and heat it to 135 C, how many grams of
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

There was 450.068g of water in the pot.

Explanation:

Latent heat of vaporisation = 2260 kJ/kg = 2260 J/g = L

Specific Heat of Steam = 2.010 kJ/kg C = 2.010 J/g = s

Let m = x g be the weight of water in the pot.

Energy required to vaporise water = mL = 2260x

Energy required to raise the temperature of water from 100 C to 135 C = msΔT = 70.35x

Total energy required = 2260x+x\times2.010\times(135-100)=2260x+70.35x=2330.35x

2330.35x=1048815\\x=450.068g

Hence, there was 450.068g of water in the pot.

A gas with 4.0 atmospheres of pressure has a temperature of 27°C.
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

7.462

Explanation:

Well, every time that the tempurature is increased, the atmspheric pressure is increased by 0.574%. This would then mean that you would have 0.574  times

13. That would then equal 7.462. I hope this helps.
