Alcohols are organic molecules characterized majorly by the presence of the OH group in their molecule. The OH group is majorly responsible for several of their characteristics. This include the formation of hydrogen bonds between alcohol molecules. While this makes them more inorganic than most organic compounds, comparatively the hydrogen bonding formed in alcohols is not as strong as that which is present in water.

The higher strength of the hydrogen bonding is responsible for some comparable properties. While water boils at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, alcohol boils at a temperature of 78 degrees Celsius. This is an evidence to the fact that hydrogen bonding in alcohol is less stronger that that in water.

The burning of a sample of propane generated 1 04.6 kJ of heat. All of this heat was used to heat 500.0 g of water that had an i

Paul [167]

Answer: 70.0°C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat = Mass * Specific heat * Change in temperature

Quantity of heat = 104.6 KJ

Mass = 500.0 g

Specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C

Change in temperature assuming final temperature is x = x - 20

Units should be in grams and joules:

104,600 = 500 * 4.18 * (x - 20)

104,600 = 2,090 * (x - 20)

x - 20 = 104,600/2,090

x = 104,600/2,090 + 20

x = 69.8

= 70.0°C
