Answer:

For a: The total heat required is 36621.5 J

For b: The total heat required is 58944.5 J

Explanation:

For a:

To calculate the heat required at different temperature, we use the equation:

$q=mc\Delta T$ .........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

$c$ = specific heat capacity of substance

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

To calculate the amount of heat required at same temperature, we use the equation:

$q=m\times \Delta H$ ........(2)

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of the reaction

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)C_2H_5OH(l)(35^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\\2.)C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(g)(78^oC)$

For process 1:

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

$m=42.0g\\c_l=2.3J/g.K\\T_2=78^oC\\T_1=35^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[78-35]^oC=43^oC=43K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$q_1=42.0g\times 2.3J/g.K\times 43K\\\\q_1=4153.8J$

For process 2:

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

$m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{vap}=38.56kJ/mol=\frac{35.56kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=773.04J/g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$q_2=42.0g\times 773.04J/g\\\\q_2=32467.7J$

Total heat required = $[q_1+q_2]$

Total heat required = $[4153.8J+32467.7J]=36621.5J$

Hence, the total heat required is 36621.5 J

For b:

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)C_2H_5OH(s)(-155^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(s)(-144^oC)\\2.)C_2H_5OH(s)(-144^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(-144^oC)\\3.)C_2H_5OH(l)(-144^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\\4.)C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(g)(78^oC)$

For process 1:

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

$m=42.0g\\c_s=0.97J/g.K\\T_2=-144^oC\\T_1=-155^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[-144-(-155)]^oC=11^oC=11K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$q_1=42.0g\times 0.97J/g.K\times 11K\\\\q_1=448.14J$

For process 2:

We are given:

$m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{fusion}=5.02kJ/mol=\frac{5.02kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=109.13J/g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$q_2=42.0g\times 109.13J/g\\\\q_2=4583.5J$

For process 3:

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

$m=42.0g\\c_l=2.3J/g.K\\T_2=78^oC\\T_1=-144^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[78-(-144)]^oC=222^oC=222K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$q_3=42.0g\times 2.3J/g.K\times 222K\\\\q_3=21445.2J$

For process 4:

We are given:

$m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{vap}=38.56kJ/mol=\frac{38.56kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=773.04J/g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$q_4=42.0g\times 773.04J/g\\\\q_4=32467.7J$

Total heat required = $[q_1+q_2+q_3+q_4]$

Total heat required = $[448.14+4583.5+21445.2+32467.7]J=58944.5J$

Hence, the total heat required is 58944.5 J

What is the symbol for the carbon isotope with seven neutrons?

Tresset [83]

Carbon -13 has 7 neutrons and carbon -12 has six neutrons. Carbon -12 is the most common isotope of Carbon. Carbon -14 is radioactive and vary rare. The symbols for the isotopes of Carbon atoms shown here indicate they each have six protons but mass numbers of 14, 13, and 12. Hope this helps. :)
