What properties of water would help water travel up the leaf?

1 answer:

8 0

The high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants. Thus, Cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

Determine the heat of reaction (ΔHrxn) for the combustion of ethanol (C2H5OH) by using heat of formation data: C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=-1234.782kJ$

Explanation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n_{i}\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(product)_{i}]-\sum [n_{j}\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(reactant_{j})]$

Where $n_{i}$ and $n_{j}$ are number of moles of product and reactant respectively (equal to their stoichiometric coefficient).

$\Delta H_{f}^{0}$ is standard heat of formation.

So, $\Delta H_{rxn}=[2mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(CO_{2})_{g}]+[3mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(H_{2}O)_{g}]-[1mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(C_{2}H_{5}OH)_{l}]-[3mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(O_{2})_{g}]$
