Answer:

D) HCOOCH2CH3

Explanation:

An isomer of a compound is defined as a chemical substances with the same formula (That is, same atoms) but in different structures.

For propanoic acid, there are <em>3 atoms of C, 6 atoms of H and 2 atoms of oxygen.</em>

A) CH2CHCOOH . Here you have 3 atoms of C but 4 atoms of H. That means this compound is not an isomer.

B) CH3CH2CH2COOH . Here, there are 4 atoms of C. Thus, is not an isomer.

C) CH3CH(OH)CH2OH. This structure has 3 atoms of C, but 8 atoms of H. Thus, is not an isomer.

D) HCOOCH2CH3. Here, there are 3 atoms of C, 6 atoms of H and 2 atoms of O. Thus, this structure <em>is an isomer of propanoic acid.</em>

Answer:

D) HCOOCH2CH3

Explanation:

Option D is an isomer of propanoic acid because this compound has the same number of atoms as the acid; 3 carbons, 6 hydrogens and 2 oxygen. They may differ in some properties but their main difference must be their molecular structure, that is, the arrangement of their atoms.

Answer:

The final temperature is:- 7428571463.57 °C

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of heat is shown below as:-

$Q=m\times C\times \Delta T$

Where,

$Q$ is the heat absorbed/released

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is the temperature change

Thus, given that:-

Mass of water = 1.75 mg = 0.00175 g ( 1 g = 0.001 mg)

Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Initial temperature = 35 °C

Final temperature = x °C

$\Delta T=(x-35)\ ^0C/tex]
Q = [tex]1.3\times 10^4$ kcal

Also, 1 kcal = 4.18 kJ = $4.18\times 10^3$ J

So, Q = $1.3\times 10^4\times 4.18\times 10^3$ J = 54340000 J

So,

$54340000=0.00175\times 4.18\times (x-35)$

$0.00175\times \:4.18\left(x-35\right)=54340000$

$x-35=\frac{54340000}{0.007315}$

$x=7428571463.57$

Thus, the final temperature is:- 7428571463.57 °C

Reil [10]

The heat transfer formula is;
Q = m * c * Δ T >>>> (1)
where, Q is the heat transfer
m = mass (gram)
c = the specific heat capacity (J/g)
Δ T = change in temperature
∵ we have one mole of Ethanol
∴ the weight of ethanol equals its molecular weight = (2*12)+(6*1)+(16) = 46 g
we will assume that the specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46 J/g (from google)
ΔT = 25 - 320 = - 295 C
By substitution in (1)
∴ Q = 2.46 * 46 * (-295) = - 33382.2 J
