Question

How much heat is required to vaporize 31.5 gg of acetone (C3H6O)(C3H6O) at 25 ∘C∘C? The heat of vaporization for acetone at this temperature is 31.0 kJ/molkJ/mol.

Answer 1

Answer:

≅ 16.81 kJ

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of acetone = 31.5 g

molar mass of acetone = 58.08 g/mol

heat of vaporization for acetone = 31.0 kJ/molkJ/mol.

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Number of moles of acetone = $\frac{31.5}{58.08}$

Number of moles  of acetone = 0.5424 mole

The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone can be determined by multiplying the number of moles of acetone with the heat of vaporization of acetone;

Hence;

The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone = 0.5424 mole × 31.0 kJ/mol

The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone = 16.8144 kJ

≅ 16.81 kJ
