Assume that the complete combustion of one mole of ethanol to carbon dioxide and water liberates 1370 kJ of energy (Δ????°′=−137

0 kJ/mol ). If the energy generated by the combustion of ethanol is entirely converted to the synthesis of a hypothetical compound X, calculate the number of moles of the compound that could theoretically be generated. Use the value Δ????°′compound X=−45.9 kJ/mol . Round your answer to two significant figures.

Answer:

28 moles of X.

Explanation:

Let's consider the complete combustion of ethanol.

C₂H₆O(l) + 3 O₂(g) ⇒  2 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(l)

When 1 mole of ethanol burns it releases 1370 kJ, that is, the enthalpy of combustion is -1370 kJ/mol. If the energy released by one mole of etanol were used to syntesize the compound X, it would take 45.9 kJ to form 1 mole of X, that is, the enthalpy of formation is -49.5 kJ/mol. Then,

1mol(etanhol).\frac{-1370kJ}{mol(etanhol)} .\frac{1mol(X)}{-49.5kJ} =28mol(X)

This heats up when an electric current passes through it, and produces light as a result. The resistance of a lamp increases as the temperature of its filament increases. The current flowing through a filament lamp is not directly proportional to the voltage across it.

Eric is creating a timeline of the formation of the solar system. Which sequence best describes the formation of the solar syste
vlada-n [284]

The answer is C. nebular are star nurseries. When the massive gas being collapsing in its own weight. Local areas of gas begin to coalesce under gravity. Due to enormous pressure, nuclear fusion begins and a protostar is formed. The protostar grows into the sun as more hydrogen fuses at the core. The planetesimal materials at the edges of the protostellar discs coalesce to form planets that orbit the star.

Which energy resources are found above the Earth's surface​
never [62]

Answer: the sun

Explanation:

The sun's radiant energy reaches the earth's surface either directly through radiation, indirectly through convection, or it can move "across" or "through" objects or materials on the surface via conduction. Let's look more closely at each case. We've probably experienced the feeling of "warmth" of the sun on our skin on a sunny day. Light energy from the sun is reaching us across space and down through the atmosphere through radiation. A dark colored vehicle in the sun quickly becomes warm (or hot!) to the touch because of radiation. The light energy from the sun heats the air in the earth's atmosphere, and this drives convection and transfers thermal energy around. It is possible that we've felt a "hot breeze" on our skin on sunny days. The thermal energy in the air will be carried to objects in its path, and it will warm them.
