It would be to see your awnsers
Ok, after doing an immense amount of research I came up with the most logical answer.
A. Is indicated by a negative enthrall sign.
Reasoning: an endothermic reaction is ice melting and the energy being more than its surroundings. Not specified to ice but as an example, ice is endothermic. That puts d and b out of the running leaving you left with a and c.
When I searched up enthalpy, it said “When a substance changes at constant pressure, enthalpy tells how much heat and work was added or removed from the substance.” Which is similar to c, right? Yeah, meaning both a and c are similar in that aspect.
The reason I decided to go with a is because heat is NOT released into the surrounding, exothermic reactions release energy and heat into the surrounding.
<span>70.4 mg CO2 x 1.0 g /1000 mg x 1 mole CO2/ 44 gCO2 x 1 mole C/1 mole CO2 = 0.0016 moles C
14.4 mg H2O x 1.0 g/1000 mg x 1 mole H2O/18 g H2O x 2 moles H/ 1 mole H2O = 0.0016 moles O
molar mass of C=12 g/mole
molar mass of H=1 g/mole
0.0016 moles C x 12 g C/ 1 mole C = 0.0192 g C or 19.2 mg C
0.00156 moles H x 1 g H/1 mole H = 0.00156 g H or 1.56 mg H
mg O= 30.4 mg vanillin - 19.2 mg C – 1.56 mg H = 9.64 mg O
molar mass of O=16 g/mole
9.64 mg O x 1 g/1000 mg x 1 mole O/16.0 g = 0.000602
C.0016 H.0016 O.000602; divide all the moles by the smallest value of0.000602
C2.66H2.66O1 is the empirical formula;
to obtain whole numbers multiply by 3
3[C2.66H2.66O1] = C8H8O3
above formula weight: 8(C) + 8(H) + 3(O) = 8(12) + 8(1) + 3(16) = 152 amu
The empirical formula weight and the molecular formula weight are the same .
Molecular formula is C8H8O3.</span>
