Answer:

0.897 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Mass (M) of substance = 155g

Initial temperature (T1) = 25.0°C

Final temperature (T2) = 40°C

Change is temperature (ΔT) = T2 – T1 = 40°C – 25.0°C = 15°C

Heat Absorbed (Q) = 2085 J

Specific heat capacity (C) of the substance =?

Step 2:

Determination of the specify heat capacity of the substance.

Applying the equation: Q = MCΔT, the specific heat capacity of the substance can be obtained as follow:

Q = MCΔT

C = Q/MΔT

C = 2085 / (155 x 15)

C = 0.897 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the substance is 0.897 J/g°C

1. empirical formula for Cu2o4?
Wittaler [7]

We know that

1) empirical formula of a compound is the representation of a molecules with the elements in simplest mole ratio.

2) the molar mass is the actual proportion of moles of elements present in a molecule

3) there is a simple ratio between the molar mass and empirical mass a molecule

Now let us solve each problem

1) empirical formula of Cu_{2}O_{4} will be CuO_{2}

2) empirical formula of Zn_{3}(NO_{3})_{4} will be Zn_{3}(NO_{3})_{4}

3) empirical formula of Ti_{2}S_{2.5} will be Ti_{4}S_{5}

4) the molecular formula will be :

Ratio=\frac{molarmass}{empiricalformula}=\frac{112.04}{28.01}=4

the molecular formula = 4 X empirical formula = 4 X CO = C_{4}O_{4}

5) the mole ratio of Cl and Cr is \frac{1.90}{0.631}=3

empirical formula will be CrCl_{3}

Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO2
Elena L [17]

Mass of carbon monoxide : 0.95 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂

MW Fe₂O₃ : 159,69 g/mol

mol Fe₂O₃ :

\tt \dfrac{1.8}{159.69}=0.0113

mol ratio Fe₂O₃ : CO = 1 : 3, so mol CO :

\tt 3\times 0.0113=0.0339

mass CO (MW =  28,01 g/mol) :

\tt m=mol\times MW\\\\m=0.0339\times 28.01\\\\m=0.950~g
