The empirical formula is the simplest number of atoms each can be reduced to. If we want to find the molecular formula, we need to find the right number of atoms of each that will add to the given mass, in this case, 62.0 grams. In this case, we find the individual masses of each element.
Carbon: 12.011 grams

Hydrogen: 1.008 grams * 3 since there are three

Oxygen: 15.999 grams

When we add these, we get a total mass of 31.034 grams. If we multiply it by two, we get the exact mass of the molecule formula, 62.068. Since we multiplied by two, all molecules have to be multiplied by two. That just means we multiply the number of molecules in the compound by two.
Therefore,

Empirical: CH3O

CH3O*2= C2H6O2 = Molecular

How much energy (heat) is required to convert 52.0 g of ice at –10.0°C to steam at 100°C? Specific heat of ice 2.09 J/g • °C Spe
dexar [7]

Answer: The energy (heat) required to convert 52.0 g of ice at –10.0°C to steam at 100°C is 157.8 kJ

Explanation:

Using this formular, q = [mCpΔT] and = [nΔHfusion]

The energy that is needed in the different physical changes is thus:

The heat needed to raise the ice temperature from -10.0°C to 0°C is given as as:

q = [mCpΔT]

q = 52.0 x 2.09 x 10

q = 1.09 kJ

While from 0°C to 100°C is calculated as:

q = [mCpΔT]

q = 52.0 x 4.18 x 100

q = 21.74 kJ

And for fusion at 0°C is called Heat of fusion and would be given as:

q = n ΔHfusion

q = 52.0 / 18.02 x 6.02

q = 17.38 kJ

And that required for vaporization at 100°C is called Heat of vaporization and it's given as:

q = n ΔHvaporization

q = 52.0 / 18.02 x 40.7

q = 117.45 kJ

Add up all the energy gives 157.8 kJ
