hammer [34]

Answer:

For a: The total heat required is 36621.5 J

For b: The total heat required is 58944.5 J

Explanation:

For a:

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:

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

For process 1:

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:

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

For process 2:

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

For b:

The processes involved in the given problem are:

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

For process 1:

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:

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

For process 2:

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:

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

For process 3:

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:

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

For process 4:

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
