Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA FOR THE UNKNOWN COMPOUND IS C7H9O

Explanation:

The empirical formula for the unknown compound can be obtained by following the processes below:

1 . Write out the percentage composition of the individual elements in the compound

C = 75.68 %

H = 8.80 %

O = 15.52 %

2. Divide the percentage composition by the atomic masses of the elements

C = 75 .68 / 12 = 6.3066

H = 8.80 / 1 = 8.8000

O = 15.52 / 16 = 0.9700

3. Divide the individual results by the lowest values

C = 6.3066 / 0.9700 = 6.5016

H = 8.8000 / 0.9700 = 9.0722

O = 0.9700 / 0.9700 = 1

4. Round up the values to the whole number

C = 7

H = 9

O = 1

5 Write out the empirical formula for the compound

C7H90

In conclusion, the empirical formula for the unknown compound is therefore C7H9O

If a solution containing 117.63 g of silver chlorate is allowed to react completely with a solution containing 10.23 g of lithiu
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

18.8 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

AgClO3(aq) + LiBr(aq)------>LiClO3(aq) + AgBr(s)

Number of moles of AgClO3 = 117.63 g/191.32 g/mol = 0.6 moles

Number of moles of LiBr = 10.23 g/86.845 g/mol  = 0.1 moles

Since the molar ratio is 1:1, LiBr is the limiting reactant

Molar mass of solid AgBr = 187.77 g/mol

Mass of precipitate formed = 0.1 moles * 187.77 g/mol

Mass of precipitate formed = 18.8 g

The temperature of a 95.4 g piece of Cu increases from 25.0 °C to 48.0 °C when the Cu absorbs 849 J of heat. What is the specifc
melisa1 [442]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.387 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • To calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance we need to know its mass, change in temperature and its specific heat capacity.
  • Then to get quantity of heat absorbed or lost we multiply mass by specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is, Q = mcΔT

in our question we are given;

Mass of copper, m as 95.4 g

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Final temperature = 48 °C

Thus, change in temperature, ΔT = 23°C

Quantity of heat absorbed, Q as 849 J

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of copper

Rearranging the formula we get

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore,

Specific heat capacity, c = 849 J ÷ (95.4 g × 23°C)

                                        = 0.3869 J/g°C

                                        = 0.387 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.387 J/g°C
