<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
3.5g of element A
4.0g of element G
Required
the empirical formula for this compound
Solution
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The empirical formula also shows the simplest mole ratio of the constituent elements of the compound
mol of element A :
mol of element G :
mol ratio A : G = 0.5 : 0.25 = 2 : 1
Explanation:
Upon dissolution of KCl heat is generated and temperature of the solution raises.
Therefore, heat generated by dissolving 0.25 moles of KCl will be as follows.
= 4.31 kJ
or, = 4310 J (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)
Mass of solution will be the sum of mass of water and mass of KCl.
Mass of Solution = mass of water + (no. of moles of KCl × molar mass)
= 200 g +
= 200 g + 13.625 g
= 213.625 g
Relation between heat, mass and change in temperature is as follows.
Q =
where, C = specific heat of water =
Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
Q =
4310 J =
Thus, we can conclude that rise in temperature will be .
