What is the room temperature of water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
inn [45]3 years ago
4 0
I surmise that the person who asked this question was wondering why water in a room may sometimes be colder than ambient air and by how much. 

For water to get cooler than ambient air requires two conditions: exposed water surface or water able to seep through a clay pot, and relatively low ambient humidity level (usually lower than 30% relative humidity). These two conditions combined enable evaporation. Now, evaporation of liquid water into water vapor necessitates input of latent energy (2257 kJ/kg), and this is at the expense of the remaining liquid water. Thus, liquid water in a room can be at a temperature lower than room temperature.

<span>By how much?  There is no straight answer to this because the temperature of the remaining liquid water depends on (1) the rate of evaporation, which itself depends on the amount of surface exposure and the room humidity and temperature, (2) the amount of water remaining in the pot, and (3) the rate of reheating of the water by the ambient air.  In practice, the water temperature can be lower than room temperature by several degrees Celsius. </span>

ethylene glycol, commonly used in automobile antifreeze, contains only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.combustion analysis of a 23.4
Kay [80]

Answer:

Molecular formula of ethylene glycol is C₂H₆O₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of ethylene glycol = 23.4 mg

mass of water = 20.42 mg

mass of carbon dioxide = 33.27 mg

molar mass of ethylene glycol = 62.0 g / mol

Molecular formula of ethylene glycol = ?

Solution:

percentage of carbon = (33.27 mg/ 23.46 mg) × (12 /44) × 100

                                      =  (1.4182× 0.27) × 100 = 38.29

percentage of hydrogen =  (20.42 mg/ 23.46 mg) × (2 /18) × 100

                                          = (0.8704× 0.11) × 100 = 9.67

percentage of oxygen = 100 - (38.29 + 9.67 )

                                      = 100 - 47.96 = 52.04

Now we will determine the number of grams atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

No. of gram atoms of carbon = 38.29 /12 = 3.19

No. of gram atoms of hydrogen = 9.67 / 1 = 9.67

No. of gram atoms of oxygen = 52.04 / 16 = 3.25

Atomic ratio:

     C :H :O               3.19/ 3.19    :   9.67 / 3.19   :  3.25 /3.19

     C :H :O                 1 : 3 : 1

Molecular formula:

    Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

    n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

    empirical formula mass= 1 × 12 + 3 × 1  + 1 × 16

     empirical formula mass= 12+3 +16 = 31

                  n = 62 g /mol / 31 = 2

         Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

         Molecular formula = 2 × (CH₃O)

          Molecular formula = C₂H₆O₂

An unknown acid solution has PH 3.4. 66% of the acid is ionized. Whats the pka?
juin [17]

Answer:

pKa=3.58

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the pH defines the concentration of hydrogen:

pH=-log([H^+])

[H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-3.4}=3.98x10^{-4}

And the percent ionization is:

\% \ ionization=\frac{[H^+]}{[HA]}*100\%

We compute the concentration of the acid, HA:

[HA]=\frac{[H^+]}{\% \ ionization}*100\%=\frac{3.98x10^{-4}}{66\%}  *100\%\\\\

[HA]=6.03x10^{-4}

Thus, the Ka is:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}=\frac{3.98x10^{-4}*3.98x10^{-4}}{6.03x10^{-4}}\\  \\Ka=2.63x10^{-4}

So the pKa is:

pKa=-log(Ka)=-log(2.63x10^{-4})\\\\pKa=3.58

Regards.

How does a concave lens differ from a convex lens? A) A convex lens is another way to describe a plane mirror; a concave lens is
elixir [45]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) A convex lens has a thick center and thin edges; a concave lens has a thin center and thicker edges.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Convex lens refers to the lens which merges the light rays at a particular point, that travels through it, while a concave lens can be identified as the lens which disperses the light rays around, that hits the lenses.
  • A convex lens is thicker at the center, as compared to its edges, while a concave lens is thinner at the center as compared to its edges.
  • A concave lens is thicker at the edges than in the middle and spreads light rays apart producing an image smaller than the actual object. A convex lens on the other hand, is thinner at the edges and thicker towards the center, that is they are bent towards a central point.
