Answer is: a bottle of acetic acid contains a solid.

Acetic or ethanoic acid (CH₃COOH) when undiluted is called glacial acetic acid.

Glacial acetic acid has freezing point (melting point) around 16.6°C, so it will be at solit state.

Vinegar is mixture of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and water (H₂O). Vinegar is colourless liquid with sour taste and pungent smell, freezing point of the vinegar is lower than glacial acetic acid.

Acetic acid dissociate in aqueous solution to form hydrogen ions (H⁺) and acetic anion (CH₃COO⁻).

Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation):

CH₃COOH(aq) ⇄ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

how much energy has your body used, in joules, if your health device indicates that 450 calories were burned during your workout

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Total energy consumed = 1,882.8 joules

Explanation:

Given:

Calories burned = 450 calories

Find:

Total energy consumed

Computation:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

So,

450 calories = 4.184 × 450

450 calories = 1,882.8 joules

Total energy consumed = 1,882.8 joules

Convert 15.2 moles of K to atoms of K.

choli [55]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 9.15*10^{24} \ atoms \ K}}$

Explanation:

To convert atoms to moles, Avogadro's Number must be used: 6.022*10²³.

This tells us the amount of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case it is the atoms of potassium. We can create a ratio.

$\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 \ mol \ K }$

Multiply by the given number of moles: 15.2

$15.2 \ mol \ K *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 \ mol \ K }$

The moles of potassium cancel.

$15.2 *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 }$

The denominator of 1 can be ignored.

$15.2 * {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{$

Multiply.

$9.15344*10^{24} \ atoms \ K$

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated that is the hundredth place. The 3 in the thousandth place tells us to leave 5.

$9.15*10^{24} \ atoms \ K$
