Answer:

KNO₂

Explanation:

To get the empirical formula of a compound, we follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Given data

%K = 45.942%

%N = 16.458%

%O = 100.000% - 45.942% - 16.458% = 37.600%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

K: 45.942 / 39.098 = 1.1750

N: 16.458 / 14.007 = 1.1750

O: 37.600 / 15.999 = 2.3501

Step 3: We divide all the coefficients by the smallest number

K: 1.1750 / 1.1750 = 1

N: 1.1750 / 1.1750 = 1

O: 2.3501 / 1.1750 = 2

The empirical formula is KNO₂.

-plants that can absorb copper ions are grown on soil with low grade copper ores.

-the plants are burned and the copper compounds are within the Ash.

-copper ions can be leached from the Ash by adding sulphuric acid, this makes a solution of copper sulphate

-the displacement of scrap iron makes pure copper metals.

Limestone stalactites and stalagmites are formed in caves by the following reaction: Ca2 (aq) 2HCO−3(aq)→CaCO3(s) CO2(g) H2O(l)
Vesna [10]

Answer : The value of \Delta E for this reaction is 36.18 kJ

Explanation :

First law of thermodynamic : It states that the energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only change or transfer from one state to another state.

As per first law of thermodynamic,

\Delta E=q+w

where,

\Delta E = internal energy  of the system

q = heat added or rejected by the system

w = work done

As we are given that:

q = 38.65 kJ

w = -2.47 kJ (system work done on surrounding)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\Delta E=38.65kJ+(-2.47kJ)

\Delta E=36.18kJ

Therefore, the value of \Delta E for this reaction is 36.18 kJ
