A camper burning a piece of paper to start a campfire is a chemical change - the way you can think of this is to consider the fact that the paper cannot be put back together and has become ash, so this is therefore a chemical change. The carbon in the paper is oxidized into other chemical including carbon dioxide. Mass was conserved during this reaction because the mass is still the same, just in a different form.

If the container is closed and the ethanol is allowed to reach equilibrium with its vapor, how many grams of liquid ethanol rema

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the given data is as follows.

V = 3.10 L, T = $19^{o}C$ = (19 + 273)K = 292 K

P = 40 torr (1 atm = 760 torr)

So, P = $\frac{40 torr}{760 torr} \times 1 atm$

= 0.053 atm

n = ?

According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT.

Putting the given values into the above equation to calculate the value of n as follows.

PV = nRT

$0.053 atm \times 3.10 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 292 K$

0.1643 = $n \times 23.97$

n = $6.85 \times 10^{-3}$

It is known that molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol. Hence, calculate its mass as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

$6.85 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{mass}{46 g/mol}$

mass = $315.1 \times 10^{-3}$ g

= 0.315 g

Thus, we can conclude that the mass of liquid ethanol is 0.315 g.
