Answer: 4.18925 kJ heat is needed to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

Explanation:

Temperature of Solid C_2H_5OH=-135^oC=138 K(0^oC=273K)

Melting temperature of Solid C_2H_5OH=114^oC=159 K

Temperature of liquid C_2H_5OH=-50^oC=223K

Specific heats of solid  ethanol = 0.97 J/gK

Specific heats of liquid ethanol = 2.3 J/gK

Heat required to melt the the 25 g solid C_2H_5OH at 159 K

\Delta T_1 = 159 K - 138 K = 21 K

Q_1=mc\Delta T= 25\times 0.97J/gK\times 21 K=509.25 J

Heat required to melt and raise the temperature of C_2H_5OH upto 223 K

\Delta T_2 = 223 K - 159 K  = 64 K

Q_2=mc\Delta T= 25\times 2.3J/gK\times 64 K=3680 J

Total heat to convert solid ethanol to liquid ethanol at given temperature :

Q_1+Q_2=509.25 J+3680 J=4189.25 J=4.18925 kJ (1kJ=1000J)

Hence, 4.18925 kJ of heat will be required to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

Reagent needed to convert sulphur dioxide to Sulphur
Harman [31]
<span>6 + x = 12. To evaluate an algebraic expression, you have to substitute a number for each variable and perform the arithmetic operations. In the example above, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. If we know the value of our variables, we can replace the variables with their values and then evaluate the expression.</span>

How does latitude affect climate?<br> Blast blast blast blast blast blast blast
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

THANKS

Explanation:

There is a relationship between latitude and temperature around the world, as temperatures are typically warmer approaching the Equator and cooler approaching the Poles. There are variations, though, as other factors such as elevation, ocean currents, and precipitation affect climate patterns.

Potential energy due to the position of an object above earth surface is called
KengaRu [80]

ANSWER:

Potential energy due to the position of an object above Earth&#39;s surface is called gravitational  potential energy.

EXPLANATION:

Gravitational energy is the potential energy compared with gravitational force, as work is  needed to further things against Earth’s gravity. The potential energy due to high positions is  called gravitational potential energy, and is evidenced by water in an elevated storage or kept  behind a dam. If an article falls from one point to different point inside a gravitational field, the  force of gravitation will do actual work on the object, and the gravitational potential energy will  decrease by the same amount.
