Answer: Th enthalpy of combustion for the given reaction is 594.244 kJ/mol

Explanation: Enthalpy of combustion is defined as the decomposition of a substance in the presence of oxygen gas.

W are given a chemical reaction:

Mg(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)

c=5760J/^oC

\Delta T=0.570^oC

To calculate the enthalpy change, we use the formula:

\Delta H=c\Delta T\\\\\Delta H=5760J/^oC\times 0.570^oC=3283.2J

This is the amount of energy released when 0.1326 grams of sample was burned.

So, energy released when 1 gram of sample was burned is = \frac{3283.2J}{0.1326g}=24760.181J/g

Energy 1 mole of magnesium is being combusted, so to calculate the energy released when 1 mole of magnesium ( that is 24 g/mol of magnesium) is being combusted will be:

\Delta H=24760.181J/g\times 24g/mol\\\\\Delta H=594244.3J/mol\\\\\Delta H=594.244kJ/mol

Increasing the temperature will cause the particles to move more often with more energy. They will therefore collide faster with greater energy

What is the molecular formula of a compound that has a molecular mass of 54 and the empirical formula is C2H3
iren [92.7K]
To find the molecular formula from the empirical formula, you need to find a multiple (x) that will give you the molar mass of the compound which in the question is 54 g/mol.

If C₂H₃ is the empirical formula
 molar mass of empirical formula = (12 × 2) + (1 × 3) g/mol
                                                     =  27 g/mol
let x = multiple
let molecular formula = C₂ₓ H₃ₓ

            multiple = molecular mass ÷ empirical mass
                         =  54 g/mol ÷  27 g/mol
                         =  2


If molecular formula = C₂ₓ H₃ₓ

then molecular formula = C₂₍₂₎H₃₍₂₎

                                      = <span>C₄H</span>₆

Scientific notation in standard form
rodikova [14]

Take the number of the exponent and move the decimal that many places.  If it is positive move it left and if it is negative move it right.

For Example:

2.57x10³= 2570

Fill in any access spaces with zero.

Taking that same number to the negative 3 power

2.57x10^-3

0.00257

I put a 0. to show it is a distinctive decimal.
