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)

Place the following in order of decreasing molar entropy at 298 k. H2 cl2 f2
Tanzania [10]

cl2>F2>H2

we can do this by molar mass

Hydrogen - 1

clorine - 35 x2 = 70

flourine- 18 x 2 = 36

flourine - 18

PlEASE HELP! 40!
podryga [215]

Answer:

moles Na = 0.1114 g / 22.9898 g/mol=0.004846

moles Tc = 0.4562g /98.9063 g/mol=0.004612

mass O = 0.8961 - ( 0.1114 + 0.4562)=03285 g

moles O = 0.3285 g/ 15.999 g/mol=0.02053

divide by the smallest

0.02053/ 0.004612 =4.45 => O

0.004846/ 0.004612 = 1.0 => Tc

to get whole numbers multiply by 2

Na2Tc2O 9

Hope it right hope it helps
