The empirical formula is C₇H₆O₂.

Assume that you have 100 g of the compound.

Then you have 68.84 g C and 4.962 g H.

Mass of O = (100 – 68.84 – 4.962) g = 26.20 g O.

Now, we must convert these masses to moles and find their ratios.

From here on, I like to summarize the calculations in a table.

<u>Element</u>     <u>Mass/g</u>    <u>Moles</u>    <u>Ratio</u>    <u> ×2</u>   <u>Integers</u>  

     C           68.84      5.732    3.501  7.001       7

     H            4.962    4.923    3.006  6.012      6

     O          26.20      1.638     1          2             2

The empirical formula is C₇H₆O₂.

How much is the mass of a man if
lesantik [10]

Answer:

50kg

Explanation:

Using the formula for potential energy, which is the amount of energy due to position;

P.E = m × g × h

Where;

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity (10m/s²)

h = height (metres)

According to the information provided in this question, m = ?, P.E = 2500J, h = 5m

Using P.E = m × g × h

m = P.E/gh

m = 2500/(5 × 10)

m = 2500/50

m = 50kg

The mass of the man is 50kg.
