<h3>Answer:</h3>

20.62 Kilo-joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The Enthalpy of combustion of ethyl alcohol is -950 kJ/mol.
  • This means that 1 mole of ethyl alcohol evolves a quantity of heat of 950 Joules when burned.

Molar mass of ethyl ethanol = 46.08 g/mol

Therefore;

46.08 g of  C₂H₅OH evolves heat equivalent to 950 kilojoules

We can calculate the amount of heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH

Heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH  = Molar enthalpy of combustion ÷ Molar mass

                                      = 950 kJ/mol ÷ 46.08 g/mol

                                      = 20.62 Kj/g

Therefore, a gram of C₂H₅OH  will evolve 20.62 kilo-joules of heat

What is the normal pH range of a Base?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

7.35 - 7.45

Explanation:

The pH scale ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic or alkaline). A pH of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral. Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of about 7.35 to 7.45. Usually, the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.
