Answer:
Explanation:
C = 41.4/12 = 3.43
H = 3.47/1 = 3.47
O = 55.1/16 =3.44
CHO is the skeletal formula (divide each by the lowest number above). The results are close enough to 1 to be 1.
(CHO)_x = 116
C + H + O = 29
(29) _ x = 116
x = 116/29
x = 4
So there area 4 carbons 4 hydrogens and 4 oxygens.
The correct formula is C4H4O4
The energy of the carbide released is 7262.5MJ.
<h3>What is the energy?</h3>
We know that the reaction between calcium oxide and carbon occurs in accordance with the reaction; 
. The reaction is seen to produce 464.8kJ of energy per mole of carbide produced.
Number of moles of 
produced = 1000 * 10^3 g/64 g/mol
= 15625 moles of calcium carbide
If 1 mole of transfers 464.8 * 10^3 J
15625 moles of calcium carbide transfers 15625 moles * 464.8 * 10^3 J/ 1 mol
= 7262.5MJ
