Answer:
(a) See below
(b) 103.935 °F; 102.235 °F
Explanation:
The equation relating the temperature to time is
1. Calculate the thermometer readings after 0.5 min and 1 min
(a) After 0.5 min
(b) After 1 min
2. Calculate the thermometer reading after 2.0 min
T₀ =106.321 °F
ΔT = 100 - 106.321 °F = -6.321 °F
t = t - 1, because the cooling starts 1 min late
3. Plot the temperature readings as a function of time.
The graphs are shown below.
3644000 rounded to 2 significant figures is equivalent to 3.6
1 mole of carbon dioxide contains a mass of 44 g, out of which 12 g are carbon.
Hence, in this case the mass of carbon in 8.46 g of CO2:
(12/44) × 8.46 = 2.3073 g
1 mole of water contains 18 g, out of which 2 g is hydrogen;
Therefore, 2.6 g of water contains;
(2/18) × 2.6 = 0.2889 g of hydrogen.
Therefore, with the amount of carbon and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon we can calculate the empirical formula.
We first calculate the number of moles of each,
Carbon = 2.3073/12 = 0.1923 moles
Hydrogen = 0.2889/1 = 0.2889 moles
Then, we calculate the ratio of Carbon to hydrogen by dividing with the smallest number value;
Carbon : Hydrogen
0.1923/0.1923 : 0.2889/0.1923
1 : 1.5
(1 : 1.5) 2
= 2 : 3
Hence, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C2H3
