<span>The water molecules that are evaporationg absorb heat energy from the surrounding environment, which causes the evaporation. If 5 grams of water evaporate, then there will be 5 grams of water vapor in the air.

Mass is conserved as the water which evaporates appears, heat is needed for the evaporation is taken from a liquid and is conserved

How many moles of O2 are needed to react with 2.35 mol of C2H2?

Mrrafil [7]

2 C2H2 + 5 O2 --> 4 CO2 + 2 H2O

2.35 mol C2H2 - x mol O2
2 mol C2H2 - 5 mol O2

$x = \frac{2.35 \times 5}{2} = 5.875 \: mol$
answer: 5.875 mol

<h3>What is a radioactive isotope?</h3>

A radioactive isotope is an element in nature that emit radioactivity in a given period of time (e.g., the half-life for C14 is equal to 5,730 years).

Radioactive dating is a technique to measure the age of an element by measuring its radioactive activity.

In conclusion, charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 yr.

Assuming that an acetic acid solution is 12% by mass and that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL, what volume of 1 M NaOH

Doss [256]

Explanation:

Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.

Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.

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