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.

For the decomposition of calcium carbonate, consider the following thermodynamic data (Due to variations in thermodynamic values
In-s [12.5K]

Answer : The temperature in kelvins is, T>1108.695K

Explanation : Given,

\Delta H = 178.5 KJ/mole = 178500 J/mole

\Delta S = 161.0 J/mole.K

Gibbs–Helmholtz equation is :

\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S

As per question the reaction is spontaneous that means the value of \Delta G is negative or we can say that the value of \Delta G is less than zero.

\Delta

The above expression will be:

0>\Delta H-T\Delta S

T\Delta S>\Delta H

T>\frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

T>\frac{178500J/mole}{161.0J/mole.K}

T>1108.695K

Therefore, the temperature in kelvins is, T>1108.695K
