How many pounds of coal would you have to burn to generate enough heat to boil a 15 l kettle?

Chemistry
1 answer:
rjkz [21]3 years ago
7 0
Note that
The heating value of standard coal is about 30,080 kJ/kg
1 L of water has a mass of 1.0 kg

The mass of 15 L of water = 15 kg.
The latent heat of vaporization of water is about 2260 kJ/kg,
 The energy required to boil 15 L of water is
(2260 kJ/kg)*(15 kg) = 33900 kJ

The mass of coal required to provide this energy is
(33900 kJ)/(30080 kJ/kg) = 1.127 kg

Because 1 kg = 2.205 lb, the mass of coal required is
(1.127 kg)*(2.205 lb/kg) = 2.485 lb

Answer: 2.49 lb (nearest hundredth)

Calculate the number of moles of ethanol acid in 30 cm³of 1 mol dm-³ solution ​
muminat

Answer:

May I assume "ethanol acid is just ethanol (it has one slightly acidic H atom).  If so, the molar mass is 46.02 g/mole.

Explanation:

We have 30 cm^3 [30 ml] of 1.0 M (1 mole/liter)  [1 dm³ = 1 liter].

That is 1 mole/liter.  30 ml would contain (0.030 liter)*(1 mole/1 liter) = 0.03 moles.

Use the periodic table to write the electron configuration for rubidium (Rb) in noble has notation
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Rb: [Kr] 5s  

Step-by-step explanation:

Rb is element 37, the first element in Period 5.

It has one valence electron, so its valence electron configuration is 5s.

The noble gas configuration uses the symbol of the previous noble gas as a shortcut for the electron configurations of the inner electrons.

The preceding noble gas is Kr, so the electron configuration is Rb: [Kr] 5s.
