Answer:

CH

Explanation:

We have to obtain the mass of carbon and hydrogen in CO2 and H2O respectively.

For carbon in CO2;

0.845 * 12/44 = 0.23 g

For hydrogen in H20;

0.173 * 2/18 = 0.019 g

We convert the masses to moles of carbon and hydrogen

For carbon - 0.23/ 12 = 0.019 moles

For hydrogen - 0.019/1 = 0.019 moles

Dividing by 0.019 moles for carbon and hydrogen we have the emperical formula of the compound as CH

True [87]

Answer:

Different compounds react with oxygen differently – some contain lots of heat energy while others produce a smaller amount. The reaction with the oxygen may happen very quickly or more slowly. Amount: The amount of fuel available to burn is known as the fuel load.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

69.8 kilo Pasacl is the pressure of the hydrogen gas.

Explanation:

Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2

Pressure at which hydrogen gas collected = p = 101.2 kilo Pascals

Vapor pressure water = p^o = 31.4 kilo Pascals

The pressure of hydrogen gas = P

The pressure at which gas was collected was sum of vapor pressure of water and hydrogen gas.

p=P+p^o

P =p-p^o=101.2 kPa-31.4 kPa=69.8 kPa

69.8 kilo Pasacl is the pressure of the hydrogen gas.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Mass of aluminium in sample = 3.591 g ≅ 3.6 grams

Explanation:

Given that,  A sample of aluminum absorbs 50.1 J of heat, upon which the temperature of the sample increases from 20.0°C to 35.5°C.

the specific heat of aluminum is 0.900 J/g- °C

The relation between heat absorbed and change in temperature is given by,   Q = msΔT.

where Q = heat absorbed

            m = mass of the substance

            s = specific heat of substance

          ΔT  = change in temperature

Now, in our case, Q = 50.1 J ; s = 0.900 J/g- °C; ΔT= 35.5-20 = 15.5°C

⇒ m =  \frac{Q}{s(T_{2} -T_{1}) }

⇒ m = \frac{50.1}{0.900(15.5)} = 3.591 g ≅ 3.6 g

⇒ m ≅ 3.6 g
