Explanation:

When a plate moves it shifts the earth, and it can cause an earthquake.

A fault is where two of earth's tectonic plates come together. They can slide against the other, causing earthquakes, they can push against each other causing mountains to form, and they can move apart from each other, causing valleys or trenches.

Answer: the correct option is 2, 3, 4, 1.

Explanation:alphabetic indexing order is the order in which files or names are being arranged according to the alphabet. In the following names:

2) KST Enterprises

3)Leland and Son Graphics

4)Lucinda Topper

1) Topper & Casey Plumbing.

The characteristic odor of pineapple is due to ethyl butyrate, a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of

gavmur [86]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_6O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg

Mass of $CO_2=6.32mg=0.00632g$

Mass of $H_2O=2.58g=0.00258g$

Mass of compound = 2.78 mg = 0.00278 g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.00632 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.00632=0.00172g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.00258 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.00258=0.000286g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.00278) - (0.00172 + 0.000286) = 0.000774 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.00172g}{12g/mole}=1.43\times 10^{-4}moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.000286g}{1g/mole}=2.86\times 10^{-4}moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.000774g}{16g/mole}=4.83\times 10^{-5}moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $4.83\times 10^{-5}mol$

For Carbon = $\frac{1.43\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{2.86\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=5.92\approx 6$

For Oxygen = $\frac{4.83\times 10^{-5}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 6 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{6}O_1=C_3H_6O$

How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 125g of water from 25.0oC to 35.0oC? The specific heat of water is 4.184

Anvisha [2.4K]

Hello!

To find the amount of energy need to raise the temperature of 125 grams of water from 25.0° C to 35.0° C, we will need to use the formula: q = mcΔt.

In this formula, q is the heat absorbed, m is the mass, c is the specific heat, and Δt is the change in temperature, which is found by final temperature minus the initial temperature.

Firstly, we can find the change in temperature. We are given the initial temperature, which is 25.0° C and the final temperature, which is 35.0° C. It is found by subtract the final temperature from the initial temperature.

35.0° C - 25.0° C = 10.0° C

We are also given the specific heat and the grams of water. With that, we can substitute the given values into the equation and multiply.

q = 125 g × 4.184 J/g °C × 10.0° C

q = 523 J/°C × 10.0° C

q = 5230 J

Therefore, it will take 5230 joules (J) to raise the temperature of the water.
