The empirical formula for the given compound has been \rm SO_2. Thus, option C is correct.

The empirical formula has been the whole unit ratio of the elements in the formula unit.

<h3>Computation for the Empirical formula</h3>

The given mass of Sulfur has been, 50.05 g

The given mass of oxygen has been 49.95 g.

The moles of elements in the sample has been given by:

\rm Moles=\dfrac{Mass}{Molar\;mass}

  • Moles of Sulfur:

\rm Moles\;S=\dfrac{50.05}{32}\\&#10; Moles\;S=1.56\;mol

The moles of sulfur in the unit has been 1.56 mol.

  • Moles of Oxygen:

\rm Moles\;O=\dfrac{49.95}{16} \\&#10;Moles\;O=3.12\;mol

The moles of oxygen in the unit has been 3.12 mol.

The empirical formula unit has been given as:

\rm S_{1.56}O_{3.12}=SO_2

Thus, the empirical formula for the given compound has been \rm SO_2. Thus, option C is correct.

An industrial manufacturer wants to convert 175 kg of methane into HCN. Calculate the masses of ammonia and molecular oxygen req
Tema [17]
Given:

175 kilograms of Methane (CH4) to be synthesized into Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN)

The balanced chemical equation is shown below:

2 CH4<span> + 2 NH</span>3<span> + 3 O</span>2<span> → 2 HCN + 6 H</span>2<span>O
</span>
To calculate for the masses of ammonia and oxygen needed, our basis will be 175 kg CH4.

Molar mass:
CH4 = 16 kg/kmol
NH3 = 17 kg/kmol
O2 = 32 kg/kmol

mass of NH3 = 175 kg CH4 / 16 kg/kmol * (2/2) * 17 kg/kmol 
mass of NH3 = 185.94 kg NH3 needed

mass of O2 = 175 kg CH4 / 16 kg/kmol * (3/2) * 32 kg/kmol
mass of O2 = 525 kg

mass of O = 525 kg / 32 kg/kmol * (1/2) * 16 kg/kmol
mass of O = 131.25 kg O

The specific heat of aluminum is 0.214 cal/g.oC. Determine the energy, in calories, necessary to raise the temperature of a 55.5
Natasha2012 [34]
For this problem, we use the formula for sensible heat which is written below:

Q= mCpΔT
where Q is the energy
Cp is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the temperature difference

Q = (55.5 g)(<span>0.214 cal/g</span>·°C)(48.6°C- 23°C)
<em>Q = 304.05 cal</em>

Two solids of identical mass, A and B, are analyzed using identical calorimeters. Each calorimeter contains the same amount of w
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Specific heat of solid A is greater than specific heat of solid B.

Explanation:

In the calorimeter, as the temperature is increasing, the vibrational kinetic energy will increase and this means that additional amount of energy will be needed to increase the temperature by the same value. Therefore, we can conclude that specific heat increases as temperature increases.

Now, we are told that the final temperature of solid A's calorimeter is higher than that of B.

This means from our definition earlier, Solid A will have a higher specific heat that solid B.
