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

HELP!!! WILL RECEIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!! What is the independent variable
ycow [4]
You kind of need to show more, but the independent variable would be something that you are changing to then measure the reaction, like the time left in for example.

A liquid solvent is added to a flask containing an insoluble solid. The total volume of the solid and liquid together is 93.0 mL
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Mass of solid = 189.141 gram

Explanation:

Given:

Total volume = 93 ml

Mass of liquid = 33.7 gram

Density of liquid = 0.865 g/ml

Density of solid = 3.50 g/ml

Find:

Mass of solid = ?

Computation:

Volume of liquid = Mass of liquid / Density of liquid

Volume of liquid = 33.7 / 0.865

Volume of liquid = 38.9595 ml

Volume of solid = Total volume - Volume of liquid

Volume of solid = 93 - 38.9595

Volume of solid = 54.0405 ml

Mass of solid = Volume of solid × Density of solid

Mass of solid = 54.0405 ml × 3.50 g/ml

Mass of solid = 189.141 gram

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Molarity = 0.010M

Volume = 2.5L

Applying mole-concept,

0.010mole = 1L

X mole = 2.5L

X = (0.010 × 2.5) / 1

X = 0.025moles

0.025moles is present in 2.5L of NaOH solution.

Molar mass of NaOH = (23 + 16 + 1) = 40g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.025 × 40

Mass = 1g

1g is present in 2.5L of NaOH solution
