A percent composition analysis yields 52% carbon (C), 13% hydrogen (H), and 35% oxygen (O). What is the empirical formula for the compound?

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the percent composition analysis provide the by-mass percent of each atom in the molecule, we can assume we have 52 g of carbon, 13 g of hydrogen and 35 g of oxygen, so we are able to compute the moles based on their atomic masses:

Now we divide all the moles by those of oxygen as the fewest ones in order to obtain their subscripts in the empirical formula:

Thus, the empirical formula is:

answer: semi-infinite solid initially at a uniform temperature of 400 ◦c is cooled at its surface by convection. the cooling fluid at a constant temperature of 200 ◦c has a convective coefficient (ha) of 250 w/m2.k. the physical properties of the solid: k = 20 w/m.k and α = 4 * 10-5  m2/s. using δx = 0.04 m and δt = 10 s. write the finite difference equations describing the transient heat transfer of the first five δx and the temperature profile after 30 s.
