Answer:</h3>
20.62 Kilo-joules
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- The Enthalpy of combustion of ethyl alcohol is -950 kJ/mol.
- This means that 1 mole of ethyl alcohol evolves a quantity of heat of 950 Joules when burned.
Molar mass of ethyl ethanol = 46.08 g/mol
Therefore;
46.08 g of C₂H₅OH evolves heat equivalent to 950 kilojoules
We can calculate the amount of heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH
Heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH = Molar enthalpy of combustion ÷ Molar mass
= 950 kJ/mol ÷ 46.08 g/mol
= 20.62 Kj/g
Therefore, a gram of C₂H₅OH will evolve 20.62 kilo-joules of heat
What's the problem ? Hardness is not the definition of a metal.
You need to expand your thinking. EVERY element is solid, liquid, and gas, over different ranges of temperature ... including all of the metals. There are only TWO elements that are liquid AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, and mercury is one of them. But on a mild day at the south pole, mercury is solid too.
Answer: The correct option is C ( is very hard and burns cleanly).
Explanation:
COAL is a form of rock that is made up of mostly carbon amongst other elements which includes sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. There are different types of coal which include:
--> anthracite ( 90% carbon)
--> bituminous coal ( 70-90% carbon)
--> lignite ( 60- 70% carbon) and
--> peat (60 % carbon).
Anthracite is the type of coal that contains the highest carbon content ( 90% carbon). This makes it very hard and is often a times referred to as HARD COAL. Anthracite is a higher quality coal for domestic and open fire heating. This is because it contains less impurities than other type of coal and thereby making it to BURN CLEANLY avoiding atmospheric pollution.
I'm pretty sure that significant figures is just the amount of numbers there is. So, in this case I think the answer would be D. 5
