Answer:

water is H2O having different structure than alcohol R-OH which means they have different properties too.

Explanation:

In water one oxygen atom is covalently bound with two hydrogen atoms while alcohol is an organic compound having Oh group attached to the carbon chain.

Other than liquid water can occur in solid form that is ice and in gaseous form that is vapors too while alcohol only present in liquid form.

heat of evaporation of alcohol is lower than water means water need more heat to evaporate than alcohol that is why we can say alcohol having more cooling effect than water.

Juliette [100K]

Balanced equation: 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) ---> 2NaCl(s)

when we have STP conditions, we can use this conversion: 1 mol = 22.4 L

first, we have to convert grams to molecules using the molar mass, and then use mole to mole ratio from the balanced equation.

molar mass of Na= 23.0 g/mol
ratio: 2 mol Na= 1 mol Cl₂ (based on coefficients of balanced equation)

calculations:

$6.25 g Na ( \frac{1 mol Na}{23.0 g} ) ( \frac{1 mol Cl_2}{2 mol Na} ) ( \frac{22.4 L}{1 mol} )= 3.04 L$
