The amount of heat needed to vaporize the given amount of water is the product of the amount in grams and the latent heat of vaporization in cal per gram. That is,
                              H = (540 calories / gram)( 500 grams) = 270,000 cal
Thus, the heat needed is 270, 000 calories. The answer is letter C.

A molecule of ethyl alcohol is converted to acetaldehyde in one’s body by zero order kinetics. If the concentration of alcohol i
Oliga [24]

Answer:

(1) 0.0016 mol/L

Explanation:

Let the concentration of alcohol after 3.5 hours be y M

The reaction follows a first-order

Rate = ky^0 = change in concentration/time

k = 6.4×10^-5 mol/L.min

Initial concentration = 0.015 M

Concentration after 3.5 hours = y M

Time = 3.5 hours = 3.5×60 = 210 min

6.4×10^-5y^0 = 0.015-y/210

y^0 = 1

0.015-y = 6.4×10^-5 × 210

0.015-y = 0.01344

y = 0.015 - 0.01344 = 0.00156 = 0.0016 mol/L (to 4 decimal places)

What happened to a balloon when it is put in freezer
e-lub [12.9K]

The frozen balloon shrank because the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules in a balloon decreases when the temperature decreases. This makes the molecules move more slowly and have less frequent and weaker collisions with the inside wall of the balloon, which causes the balloon to shrink a little.

If 1.00 g of a hydrocarbon is combusted and found to produce 3.14 g of co2, what is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon?
photoshop1234 [79]
The combustion reaction is as expressed,

                CxHy + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

The mass fraction of carbon in CO2 is 3/11. Hence,
       mass of C in CO2 = (3.14 g)(3/11) = 0.86 g C.

Given that we have 1 g of the hydrocarbon, the mass of H is equal to 0.14 g. 

     moles of C = 0.86 g C / 12 g = 0.0713
     moles of H = 0.14 g H / 1 g  = 0.14

The empirical formula for the hydrocarbon is therefore, CH₂.
