Answer:

C4H6

Explanation:

See attached table

Convert each of the masses into moles by dividing the mass by the molar mass of that element.  That yields 3.83 moles of C and 6 moles of O.  I rounded up the C to 4 moles to result in an empirical formula of C4H6

Answer:

12.09 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 826.1 mmHg to atm

We will use the conversion factor 760 mmHg = 1 atm.

826.1 mmHg × 1 atm/760 mmHg = 1.087 atm

Step 2: Convert 427.8 J to L.atm

We will use the conversion factor 101.3 J = 1 L.atm.

427.8 J × 1 L.atm/101.3 J = 4.223 L.atm

Step 3: Calculate the change in the volume

Assuming the work done (w) is 4.223 L.atm against a pressure (P) of 1.087 atm, the change in the volume is:

w = P × ΔV

ΔV = w/P

ΔV = 4.223 L.atm/1.087 atm = 3.885 L

Step 4: Calculate the final volume

V₂ = V₁ + ΔV

V₂ = 8.20 L + 3.885 L = 12.09 L
