<span>Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) reacts with acetic acid (CH3COOH) to form sodium acetate (NaCH3COO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O). A chemist carries out this reaction in a bomb calorimeter. The reaction causes the temperature of a bomb calorimeter to decrease by 0.985 K. The calorimeter has a mass of 1.500 kg and a specific heat of 2.52 J/g K. What is the heat of reaction for this system? What equation should I use in this case? I've written down these notes: Steps: 1. Calculate the mass of the solution in total. 2. Convert mass to volume or vice versa if needed. 3. Calculate the temperature change of the solution. 4. Calculate the energy released by the reaction.</span>
Each of the organic compounds mentioned has a general formula so that we can identify the classification of a certain substance. The compound CH₃CH₂OH is an alcohol because it follows the general formula R-OH, where R is a hydrocarbon chain. In this case, the hydrocarbon chain is ethane. When a hydroxyl functional group is attached, it becomes an alcohol whose name is ethanol.
water vapor. It is when water is evaporated. it can also be steam.
