Let us see the structure of ascorbic acid

As shown there is no COOH group however the OH group can lose a proton and forms conjugate base

The conjugate base formed is stabilized due to resonance

More the stability of conjugate base more the strength of acid

Hence ascorbic acid behaves as an acid

Lynna [10]

Answer:

$E=2052.8 kJ$

Explanation:

The energy absorbed by the water is the energy it requires to evaporate. So:

$Heat of .vap= 40.65 kJ/mol$

The moles of water:

$n_w=m_w *\frac{1000g}{2.2lbs}*\frac{1}{M}$

M is the water molecular weight

$n_w=2 lbs *\frac{1000g}{2.2lbs}*\frac{1}{18g/mol}$

$n_w=50.5mol$

The energy absorbed:

$E=n_w*Heat of vap.=50.5mol *40.65 kJ/mol$

$E=2052.8 kJ$

AfilCa [17]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 1.615 moles

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

The molar mass of NO2

= 46.01 g/mol

The mass of NO2 given is 74.3 g

Number moles = mass/ molar mass

= 74.3 g/ 46.01 g/mol

= 1.615 moles
