Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. I

t is used to make cosmetics, ointments, soaps, and candles and is found in animal tissue as part of many saturated fats. In fact, when you eat meat, you are ingesting some fats containing stearic acid. ( of C18H36O2 = –948 kJ/mol, CO2=-393.5kJ/mol, H2O=-241.826kJ/mol).
Calculate the heat (q) released in kcal when 2.831 g of stearic acid is burned completely.

The molar mass of stearic acid is 18*AC+36*AH+2*AO=18*12+36*1+16*2=284g/mol.

n=m/M=2.831/284=0.01 moles

C18H36O2+27O2-->18CO2+18H2O

we have 18*0.01=0.18 moles of CO2

18*0.01=0.18 moles of H2O

0.01*948=9.48kJ from stearic acid

0.18*393.5=70.83kJ from CO2

0.18*241.826=43.52kJ from H2O

9.48+70.83+43.52=123.83kJ

123.83*4.184=518.10kcal

Which of the following is a correct lewis structure for sulfur dioxide, so2?
pshichka [43]

The correct Lewis structure of SO2 is the Lewis structure that shows all the 12 valence electrons in the molecule.

A Lewis structure shows the number of valence electrons on the valence shell of all the atoms in a compound. The electrons are shown as dots around the symbol of each element or a dash to indicate shared electrons in a covalent bond.

Looking at the Lewis structure of SO2 attached to this answer, we can see the twelve valence electrons in the molecule and how they are distributed around each atom as shown.

How can chemical weathering contribute to physical weathering?
lora16 [44]

A-leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals

A-dense vegetation cover

True

Explanation:

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Agent of weathering are wind, water and glacier.

Chemical weathering contributes to physical weathering in that it leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals.

During chemical weathering, a rock chemically combines with materials in the environment and weakens it.

When physical weathering processes are induced, grains produced independently weakening of bonds in rocks grind against one another and wears each other off.

An area with a dense vegetation cover undergoes rapid chemical weathering:

  • Plant roots penetrates deep into the rock and increases the surface area of chemical action.
  • Plants produce chemicals that combines with rocks and causes them to decay.
  • Since the area is always moist, chemical action becomes more severe.

Buildings and statues made of stone are subjected to the same degree of weathering as rocks exposed naturally.

This is true.

Statues and buildings weather just like rocks we find in nature.

It is the same sunshine and rain that impacts rocks that also impacts buildings and statues.

So they degrade at the same rate except they are protected.
