When a water vapor condenses, heat is being released from the process. This heat is called latent heat of vaporization since the phase change happens without any change in the temperature. This value is constant per mole of a substance as a function of pressure and temperature. For this problem, we are given the heat of vaporization at a certain T and P. We use this value to calculate the total heat released from the process. We calculate as follows:
Total heat released: 32.4 g ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) (40.67 kJ / mol) = 73.12 kJ
Therefore, 73.12 kJ of heat is released from the condensation of 32.4 g of water vapor.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
It is neither, at least not at room temperature.
Citric acid exists as a power at room temperature, but can be crystallized from cold water. This can be considered it's " solid state, " but as I mentioned before this acid is a powder. Take a look at the attachment below. This is a citric acid present as a crystal;
The melting point of ice is 0 degrees Celcius, which means it exists as a liquid for any temperatures above 0 degrees. The melting point of salt is approximately 800 degrees Celcius, which is way greater than the melting point of ice. This means that for temperatures below 800 degrees, salt exists as a solid.
The temperature of the area where they were placed we can assume was somewhere between 0 and 800 degrees, greater than the melting point of ice but less than the melting point of salt. This why the ice melted but the salt did not.
I hope this helps!
