Answer:

Empirical formula is  KHO₃C.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of potassium = 39.0%

Percentage of hydrogen = 1.01%

Percentage of carbon = 12.0%

Percentage of oxygen = 47.9%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of K = 39.0/ 39 = 1

Number of gram atoms of H = 1.01 / 1.01 = 1

Number of gram atoms of O = 47.9 / 16 = 3

Number of gram atoms of C = 12 / 12 = 1

Atomic ratio:

K               :            H                  :      O            :      C

1/1              :             1/1                :     3/1          ;       1/1

 1              :              1                  :        3          :        1

K : H : O :C =  1: 1 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is  KHO₃C.

What is thermal energy transfer?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Heat is a measure of the flow of thermal energy from one object or substance to another. ... Thermal energy typically flows from a warmer material to a cooler material. Generally, when thermal energy is transferred to a material, the motion of its particles speeds up and its temperature increases.

Give the empirical formula for C↓8H↓8
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Empirical formula of  C₈H₈ =  CH

Explanation:

Data Given:

Molecular Formula = C₈H₈

Empirical Formula = ?

Solution

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

        C₈H₈ Consist of  Carbon (C), and Hydrogen (H)

Now

Look at the ratio of these two atoms in the compound

                         C : H

                         8 : 8

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C : H

                       8/8 : 8/8

                         1   :  1

So for the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen 1 : 1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of  C₈H₈ =  CH
