Answer:

Coal is formed under the ground when pressure is high and there is a lot of heat also to make coal you need dead and composed organisms put together all of this makes a lump of dark coal.

What is the entropy change of the surroundings

KiRa [710]

Answer: The entropy change of the surroundings will be -17.7 J/K mol.

Explanation: The enthalpy of vapourization for 1 mole of acetone is 31.3 kJ/mol

Amount of Acetone given = 10.8 g

Number of moles is calculated by using the formula:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Molar mass of acetone = 58 g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{10.8}{58}=0.1862moles$

If 1 mole of acetone has 32.3 kJ/mol of enthalpy, then

0.1862 moles will have = $\frac{32.3}{1}\times 0.1862=5.828kJ/mol$

To calculate the entropy change for the system, we use the formula:

$\Delta S_{sys}=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{T(\text{ in K)}}$

Temperature = 56.2°C = (273 + 56.2)K = 329.2K

Putting values in above equation, we get

$\Delta S_{sys}=\frac{5.828}{329.2}=0.0177kJ/Kmol=17.7J/Kmol$ (Conversion Factor: 1 kJ = 1000J)

At Boiling point, the liquid phase and gaseous phase of acetone are in equilibrium. Hence,

$\Delta S_{system}+\Delta S_{surrounding}=0$

$\Delta S_{surrouding}=-\Delta S_{system}=-17.7J/Kmol$

Evaporation is commonly used to concentrate dissolved solids in a liquid feed stream and produce pure water vapor.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Evaporation is the process by which a substance changes its state from liquid to gas. evaporation occurs at all temperatures but it's rate increases as temperature increases.

Pure water vapour can be produced by evaporation.

As the liquids are removed, the solids present in solution becomes more concentrated.
