Answer:

The empirical formula is the simplest form;

Given:

Oxygen O at 94.1% and

H at 5.9%

Assume 100grams.

94% = 0.941 x 100gm. = 94.1 gm x 1mole/16gm. = 5.88 moles of O

5.9% = 0.059 x 100gm. = 5.9gm. X 1moleH/1.002gm. = 5.88 moles of H

There is one mole of O for each mole of H so the empirical formula is O_1H_1

and written as OH.

Explanation:

given \: that \: oxygen \: by \: 94.1\% (.941)\\ hydrogen \: by5.9\%(.059) \\ in \: 100gram \:  \\ oxygen = 100 g\times .941 = 94.1 \times  \frac{1(mol)}{16g}  \\  = 5.88moles \: of \: oxygen \\ in \: hydrogen \:  = .059\times 100 = 5.9 \times  \frac{1mol}{1.002gram} \\   = 5.88mole \: of \: hydrogen \\  \: so \: here \:  \: both \: oxygen \: andhydrogen = 5.88 \\their \: ratio = 1 \: 1  \\ so \: emparical \: formula = oh \\ thank \: you

Consider the following data:
VikaD [51]

∆H ° rxn =-2855.56 kJ

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

ΔHf CO₂ = -393.5 kJ/mol

ΔHf H₂O = -241.82 kJ/mol

ΔHf  C₂H₆ = - 84.68 kJ/mol

Reaction

2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) -> 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)

Required

ΔHrxn=

Solution

<em>∆H ° rxn = ∑n ∆Hf ° (product) - ∑n ∆Hf ° (reactants) </em>

∆H ° rxn = (4.-393.5+6.-241.82)-(2.-84.68)

∆H ° rxn = (-1574-1450.92)-(-169.36)

∆H ° rxn =-3024.92+169.36

∆H ° rxn =-2855.56 kJ
