Answer:

At one time the two continents were one landmass

Explanation:

If scientists find the same types of plant fossils on the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa, this suggests that at one time, the two continents were one landmass. When the continents separated, the communities of plants were split, resulting in identical fossils on each coast millions of years later.

Ethanol (C2H5OH) melts a - 144 oC and boils at 78 °C. The enthalpy of fusion of ethanol is 5.02 kj/mol, and its enthalpy of vapo
hammer [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The total heat required is 36621.5 J

<u>For b:</u> The total heat required is 58944.5 J

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For a:</u>

To calculate the heat required at different temperature, we use the equation:

q=mc\Delta T         .........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

\Delta T = change in temperature

To calculate the amount of heat required at same temperature, we use the equation:

q=m\times \Delta H      ........(2)

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

\Delta H = enthalpy of the reaction

The processes involved in the given problem are:

1.)C_2H_5OH(l)(35^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\\2.)C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(g)(78^oC)

  • <u>For process 1:</u>

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

m=42.0g\\c_l=2.3J/g.K\\T_2=78^oC\\T_1=35^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[78-35]^oC=43^oC=43K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q_1=42.0g\times 2.3J/g.K\times 43K\\\\q_1=4153.8J

  • <u>For process 2:</u>

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{vap}=38.56kJ/mol=\frac{35.56kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=773.04J/g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

q_2=42.0g\times 773.04J/g\\\\q_2=32467.7J

Total heat required = [q_1+q_2]

Total heat required = [4153.8J+32467.7J]=36621.5J

Hence, the total heat required is 36621.5 J

  • <u>For b:</u>

The processes involved in the given problem are:  

1.)C_2H_5OH(s)(-155^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(s)(-144^oC)\\2.)C_2H_5OH(s)(-144^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(-144^oC)\\3.)C_2H_5OH(l)(-144^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\\4.)C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(g)(78^oC)

  • <u>For process 1:</u>

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

m=42.0g\\c_s=0.97J/g.K\\T_2=-144^oC\\T_1=-155^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[-144-(-155)]^oC=11^oC=11K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q_1=42.0g\times 0.97J/g.K\times 11K\\\\q_1=448.14J

  • <u>For process 2:</u>

We are given:

m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{fusion}=5.02kJ/mol=\frac{5.02kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=109.13J/g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

q_2=42.0g\times 109.13J/g\\\\q_2=4583.5J

  • <u>For process 3:</u>

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

m=42.0g\\c_l=2.3J/g.K\\T_2=78^oC\\T_1=-144^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[78-(-144)]^oC=222^oC=222K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q_3=42.0g\times 2.3J/g.K\times 222K\\\\q_3=21445.2J

  • <u>For process 4:</u>

We are given:

m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{vap}=38.56kJ/mol=\frac{38.56kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=773.04J/g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

q_4=42.0g\times 773.04J/g\\\\q_4=32467.7J

Total heat required = [q_1+q_2+q_3+q_4]

Total heat required = [448.14+4583.5+21445.2+32467.7]J=58944.5J

Hence, the total heat required is 58944.5 J

In which Colorado Rockies scenario was there more erosion? Why was there more erosion in the scenario?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Erosion in the Colorado Rookies Scenario that record a ready rain were more than the other scenario in the same area with just a drizzle. The Erosion is much in the Colorado Rockies Scenario that record a steady rain because the volume of the rivers has goes up compare to that of the Scenario with just a drizzle. As a result of the increased in the amount of the rivers bank that is flowing, the river flows more faster which helps in the transportation of the sediments or Erodes.
