Answer:

The essence including its given problem is outlined in the following segment on the context..

Explanation:

The given values are:

Moles of CO₂,

x = 0.01962

Moles of water,

\frac{y}{2} =0.01961

y=2\times 0.01961

  =0.03922

Compound's mass,

= 0.4647 g

Let the compound's formula will be:

C_{x}H_{y}O_{z}

Combustion's general equation will be:

⇒  C_{x}H_{y}O_{z}+x+(\frac{y}{4}-\frac{z}{2}) O_{2}=xCO_{2}+\frac{y}{2H_{2}O}

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  12\times x=1\times y+16\times z=0.4647

⇒  12\times 0.01962+1\times 0.03922+16\times z=0.4647

⇒  0.27466+16z=0.4647

⇒                     z=0.01187

Now,

x : y : z = 0.01962:0.03922:0.01187

           = \frac{0.01962}{0.0118}:\frac{0.03922}{0.0188}:\frac{0.0188}{0.0188}

           = 1.6:3.3:1.0

           = 3:6:2

So that the empirical formula seems to be "C₃H₆O₂".

Do all substances absorb heat the same way?
miv72 [106K]

Since particles are closer together, solids conduct heat better than liquids or gases. Conduction moves heat through a material. It keeps a fire going by spreading the heat through solid material. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not require particles to carry the heat energy.
