The total energy required for this conversion is equivalent to the sum of the energies that are used. There are three steps:
1) Heating of liquid acetone
This used 628 J
2) Evaporation of acetone
This used 15.6 kJ or 15,600 J
3) Heating of acetone vapors
This used 712 J
Adding these quantities,
Total energy = 628 + 15,600 + 712
The total energy required was <span>16940 Joules of 16.94 kJ</span>
To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:
Mass Moles
K 52.10 52.10/39.10 = 1.33 1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C 15.8 15.8/12 = 1.32 1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O 32.1 32.1 / 16 = 2.01 2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5
The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.
I don’t understand, what does that say in english?
