The empirical formula is K₂O.
The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio</em> of atoms in a compound.
The <em>ratio of atom</em>s is the same as the <em>ratio of moles</em>.
So, our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio</em> of K to O.
Step 1. Calculate the <em>moles of each element
</em>
Moles of K = 32.1 g K × (1 mol K/(39.10 g K =) = 0.8210 mol K
Moles of O = 6.57 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 0.4106 mol 0
Step 2. Calculate the <em>molar ratio of each elemen</em>t
Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer
K:O = 0.8210:0.4106 = 1.999:1 ≈ 2:1
Step 3: Write the <em>empirical formula
</em>
EF = K₂O
CH₇ is the empirical formula of the car fuel.
Explanation:
To find the empirical formula we use the following algorithm.
First divide each mass the the molar weight of each element:
for carbon 2.87 / 12 = 0.239
for hydrogen 3.41 / 2 = 1.705
And now divide each quantity by the lowest number which is 0.239:
for carbon 0.239 / 0.239 = 1
for hydrogen 1.705 / 0.239 = 7.13 ≈ 7
The empirical formula of the car fuel is CH₇.
I have to tell you that in reality this formula is wrong because is not possible to exist. However the algorithm for finding the empirical formula is right, the problem may reside in the amounts of carbon and hydrogen given.

Explanation:
endothermic means absorbing heat
Answer is: 1160 J of heat Is required to increase the temperature.
m(Fe) = 100 g.
∆T = 40,2 - 15 = 25,2°C.
C(Fe) = 0,46 J/g•°C.
Q = m(Fe) • C • ∆T.
Q = 100 g • 0,46 J/g•°C • 25,2°C
Q = 1160 J.
C - specific heat.
