Answer:
The correct answer is 596.5 kJ.
Explanation:
The mass of ethanol or C2H5OH mentioned in the question is 20 gm.
The molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol.
The moles of the compound can be determined by using the formula,
n = weight of the compound/molar mass
= 20/46 = 0.435 moles
It is mentioned in the question that standard heat of combustion of ethanol is 1372 kJ/mole, that is, one mole of ethanol is producing 1372 kilojoules of energy at the time of combustion.
Therefore, the energy liberated by completely burning the 20 grams of ethanol is 0.435*1372 = 596.5 kJ.
Answer:
Weak acid
Explanation:
A titration curve is a graphical description of the change in pH of the solution in the conical flask as the reagent is added from the burette. A titration curve can be plotted for the different kinds of acid and base titrations. The volume of the titrant is always plotted as the independent variable and the pH of the solution as the dependent variable. The equivalence point is read off from the titration curve. A titration curve is very important because it shows the pH at various points during the titration.
A weak acid/strong base titration leads to an equivalence point above 7. From the question, we were told that the pH at equivalence point lies around 8. Hence the unknown substance must be a weak acid.
