Answer : The empirical formula of a compound is, H_2O_1

Solution : Given,

Mass of O = 160 g

Mass of H = 20.2 g

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Step 1 : convert the given masses into moles.

Moles of O = \frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{160g}{16g/mole}=10moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{20.2g}{1g/mole}=20.2moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For O = \frac{10}{10}=1

For H = \frac{20.2}{10}=2.02\approx 2

The ratio of O : H = 1 : 2

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = H_2O_1

Therefore, the empirical formula of a compound is, H_2O_1

Amount of oxygen in the compound = 160 g
Amount of oxygen in the compound = 20.2 gm
Mole of oxygen in the compound = 160/16
                                                     = 10 moles
Mole of hydrogen in the compound = 20.2/1.01
                                                         = 20 moles
Then
The ratio of oxygen to ration of hydrogen = 1:2
So
The empirical formula of the compound is H2O. I hope the answer has come to your help.

How can you determine the specific heat of a metal using a calorimeter
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

One can determine the specific heat of the metal through using the clarimeter, water, thermometer and using heat equations.

Explanation:

You can learn about heat effects and calorimetery through a simple experiment by boiling water and heating up the metal in it. Then, pour it into your calorimeter and the heat will flow from the metal to the water. The two equlibria will meet: the metal will loose heat into its surroundings (the water) and teh water will absorb the heat. The heat flow for the water is the same as it is for the metal, the only difference being is the negative sign indicating the loss of the heat of the metal.

In terms of theromdynamics, we can deteremine the heat flow for the metal becasue it would be equal to the mangnitued but opposite in direction. Thus, we can say that the specific heat of water qH2O = -qmetal.

Answer:

Sulfur would gain electrons

Explanation:

Atoms want to have a complete out valence shell and because sulfur only needs 2 more electrons to complete the outer shell it would take 2 more.

The force of 75 N must overcome in order to get the truck to start moving. What type of friction must be overcome?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Static Friction.

Explanation:

Friction is the force that resists the relative motion between the surfaces sliding against each other.

Static friction is friction between objects that are not in relative motion with each other.

The coefficient of static friction, typically denoted as  μs,

Static friction arises due to surface roughness( relative term)

The static friction force can be overcome by an applied  maximum force

F max =  μs x N

N= normal force

Any force smaller than F max attempting to slide one surface over the other is opposed by a frictional force of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

Any force larger than F max overcomes the force of static friction and causes sliding to occur.

This maximum force is sometimes called the limiting value also. Here that value is 75 N.
