Enthalpy of combustion of ethyl alcohol, C2 H5 OH, is – 950 kJ mol–1. How much heat is evolved when one gram of ethyl alcohol bu
melomori [17]
<h3>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

Why do atoms tend to be bonded to other atoms?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Atoms are often more stable when bonded to other atoms

Explanation:

Like for example let's say ionic bonds..... Since one atom has to lose specific electrons to be stable and the other needs the electrons from the other atom to be stable.....

V2 = (P1 × V1 × T2) (P2 × T1) A gas with a beginning pressure of 2 atm at a temperature of 300 K has a volume of 20 ml. What wil

6.6ml will be the new volume if the pressure increases to 4 atm and the temperature are lowered to 200 K.

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

Given data:

V_1=20 ml

T_1=3

P_1=2 atm

T_2=200 K

P_2=4 atm

V_2=?

Using equation:

V_2 = \frac{P_1 X V_1 XT_2}{P_2 X T_1}

V_2 =\frac{2 atm  X 20 ml X200 K}{4 atm  X 300 K}

V_2 = 6.6 ml

Hence, 6.6ml will be the new volume if the pressure increases to 4 atm and the temperature are lowered to 200 K.
