Answer:

C_4H_5

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the combustion analysis provides us the yielded mass of both water and carbon dioxide, as the sources of hydrogen and carbon in the hydrocarbon, we are able to compute the moles of each via the following mole-mass relationships:

n_H=1.36gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18.02gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=0.151molH\\\\n_C=5.22gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44.01gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.119molC

Now, we divide those moles by the fewest ones (those of carbon) in order to compute their subscripts in the empirical formula:

C: \frac{0.119}{0.119} = 1 \\\\H:\frac{0.151}{0.119} = 1.27

However we need whole numbers, that is why we multiply each subscript by 4 to get 4 for carbon and 5.08 ≅ 5 for hydrogen:

C_4H_5

Best regards!

25.0 cm3 of a solution of sodium hydroxide required 18.8 cm3 of 0.0500 mol/dm3 H2SO4
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

i think so

Ba(OH)2 + H2SO4 ------> BaSO4 + 2H2O

1) Moles of Ba(OH)2 = moles of H2SO4 = 0.025L x 2)0.02M = 5.0 x 10^-4M

Concn of Ba(OH)2 in g/L = 5.0 x 10^-4M x 171.33g/mol = 0.086g/mol

A unit of heat energy that was formerly used frequently was the calorie. Look up the definition of the calorie in your textbook
dybincka [34]

Answer and Explanation:

Calorie is the unit of heat energy . There are 2 units with the same name 'calorie' which is widely used.

'The amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by mass by 1^{\circ}C or 1 K is known as small calorie or gram calorie'.

Another one is large calorie which can be defined as :

'The amount of heat energy required to make arise in temperature of water 1 kg by mass by 1^{\circ}C or 1 K is known as large calorie or  kilcalorie and is represented as Cal or kcal'.

After the adoption of SI system, thee units of the metric system cal, C or kilocal are considered deprecated or obsolete with the SI unit for heat energy as 'joule or J'

1 cal = 4.184 J

1C or 1 kilocal = 4184 J

Calorimeter constant:

Calorimeter constant, represented as 'C_{cal}' is used to quantify the heat capacity or the amount of heat of a calorimeter.

It can be calculated by ther given formula:

{\displaystyle C_{cal}}={\frac {\Delta {H}}{\Delta {T}}}}}

where,

{\Delta {T}} = corresponding temperature change

{\Delta {H} = enthalpy change

Its unit is J/K or J/1^{\circ}C[/tex] which can be convertyed to cal/1^{\circ}C[/tex] by dividing the calorimeter constant by 4.184 or 4184 accordingly.
