Answer:D. It is released as heat and light.

Explanation:

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. This is the law of the conservation of energy. Energy is stored in the wax. When the wax is burnt, that energy is converted to another form of energy. In this case heat and light. Energy exists in various forms in nature. Energy is always converted from one form to another.

Ethanol (c2h5oh) melts at -114°c. the enthalpy of fusion is 5.02 kj/mol. the specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are 0.9
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 4.18925 kJ heat is needed to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

Explanation:

Temperature of Solid C_2H_5OH=-135^oC=138 K(0^oC=273K)

Melting temperature of Solid C_2H_5OH=114^oC=159 K

Temperature of liquid C_2H_5OH=-50^oC=223K

Specific heats of solid  ethanol = 0.97 J/gK

Specific heats of liquid ethanol = 2.3 J/gK

Heat required to melt the the 25 g solid C_2H_5OH at 159 K

\Delta T_1 = 159 K - 138 K = 21 K

Q_1=mc\Delta T= 25\times 0.97J/gK\times 21 K=509.25 J

Heat required to melt and raise the temperature of C_2H_5OH upto 223 K

\Delta T_2 = 223 K - 159 K  = 64 K

Q_2=mc\Delta T= 25\times 2.3J/gK\times 64 K=3680 J

Total heat to convert solid ethanol to liquid ethanol at given temperature :

Q_1+Q_2=509.25 J+3680 J=4189.25 J=4.18925 kJ (1kJ=1000J)

Hence, 4.18925 kJ of heat will be required to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

What volume (in mL) of a 0.200 MHNO3 solution is required to completely react with 27.6 mL of a 0.100 MNa2CO3 solution according
ladessa [460]

Answer:

There is 27.6 mL of a 0.200 M HNO3 solution required

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>The balanced equation is:

Na2CO3(aq)+2HNO3(aq)→2NaNO3(aq)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)

This means for 1 mole Na2CO3 consumed, there is consumed 2 mole of HNO3 and there is produced 2 moles of NaNO3, 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O

<u>Step 2: </u>Calculating moles of Na2CO3

moles of Na2CO3 =volume of Na2CO3 * Molarity of Na2CO3

moles of Na2CO3 = 27.6 *10^-3 * 0.1 M = 0.00276 moles

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculating moles of HNO3

In the balanced equation, we can see that for 1 mole of Na2CO3 consumed, there are consumed 2 moles of HNO3.

So for 0.00276 moles consumed of Na2CO3, there are consumed 0.00552 moles of HNO3.

This means 0.00276 moles of the base Na2CO3 would react with 0.00552 moles of the acid HNO3

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculating the volume of HNO3

volume of HNO3 = moles of HNO3 / Molarity of HNO3

volume of HNO3 = 0.00552 moles / 0.200 M  = 0.0276 L

0.0276 L = 27.6 ml

There is 27.6 mL of a 0.200 M HNO3 solution required
