Why does a permeable rock weather chemically at a fast rate?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>Water soaks into it easily and during freeze-thaw cycles would be more likely to break apart because of the water freezing and thawing inside the rock. The water freezes and expands inside the rock, causing the surface to break off in flakes from the pressure of the expanding ice inside.</span>

Answer : The final temperature of the water is, $22.5166^oC$

Explanation : Given,

Mass of benzene = 8.600 g

Molar mass of benzene = 78 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of benzene.

$\text{Moles of benzene}=\frac{\text{Mass of benzene}}{\text{Molar mass of benzene}}=\frac{8.600g}{78g/mol}=0.1103mole$

Now we have to calculate the energy of combustion.

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

$2C_6H_6(l)+15O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)+6542 kJ$

According to reaction,

As, 2 moles of benzene gives 6542 kJ of energy on combustion.

So, 0.1103 mole of benzene gives $\frac{6542 kJ}{2}\times 0.1103=360.7913kJ$ of energy on combustion.

Now we have to calculate the final temperature of the water.

Formula used : $q_w=m_w\times c_w\times \Delta T=m_w\times c_w\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

$q_w$ = heat released = 360.7913 kJ = 36079.13 J

$m_w$ = mass of water = 5691 g

$c_w$ = specific heat of water= $4.18J/g^oC$

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = ?

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $21^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$36079.13J=5691g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-21^oC)$

$T_{final}=22.5166^oC$

Therefore, the final temperature of the water is, $22.5166^oC$

I wrote the answer on this paper and here is the calculations step by step

very sry the "V" must be replaced with 285 and the 285 must be replaced with "V" and the answer is 231.09 cm3. sorry for the inconvenience.
