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 statement is true concerning the elements in families 1 and 2?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. All the elements in families 1 and 2 can place all their shell electrons in the s sub-level

Explanation:

The elements in families 1 and 2 also called the group 1A and group 2A elements are known as the alkali and alkaline earth metals. The elements in the families 1 and 2 are also referred to as the s-block elements as they have their valence electrons which are 1 and 2 respectively, in the s-orbital or s sub-level

Due to their low ionization energy, and the ease with which they donate their valence electrons, elements of the families 1 and 2 are known to be very reactive, and are found in a combined state in nature.

All weather is energy in motion. Where does the energy come from
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The Sun radiates huge amounts of energy. Only a small portion of that energy hits the Earth, but it is enough to light our days, heat our air and land, and create weather systems over the oceans. Most of the energy you will learn about comes from the Sun. The Earth also gives off energy.
