Answer:
17,890 J
Explanation:
The amount of heat released by a gaseous substance when it condenses is given by the formula
where
n is the number of moles of the substance
is the latent heat of vaporization
The formula can be applied if the substance is at its vaporization temperature.
In this problem, we have:
n = 0.440 mol is the number of moles of steam
is the latent heat of vaporization of water
And the steam is already at 100C, so we can apply the formula:
If you place 1.0 L of ethanol (C2H5OH) in a small laboratory that is 3.0 m long, 2.0 m wide, and 2.0 m high, will all the alcohol evaporate? If some liquid remains, how much will there be? The vapor pressure of ethyl alcohol at 25 °C is 59 mm Hg, and the density of the liquid at this temperature is 0.785g/cm^3 .
will all the alcohol evaporate? or none at all?
Answer:
Yes, all the ethanol present in the laboratory will evaporate since the mole of ethanol present in vapor is greater. The volume of ethanol left will therefore be zero.
Explanation:
Given that:
The volume of alcohol which is placed in a small laboratory = 1.0 L
Vapor pressure of ethyl alcohol at 25 ° C = 59 mmHg
Converting 59 mmHg to atm ; since 1 atm = 760 mmHg;
Then, we have:
=
= 0.078 atm
Temperature = 25 ° C
= ( 25 + 273 K)
= 298 K.
Density of the ethanol = 0.785 g/cm³
The volume of laboratory = l × b × h
= 3.0 m × 2.0 m × 2.5 m
= 15 m³
Converting the volume of laboratory to liter;
since 1 m³ = 100 L; Then, we have:
15 × 1000 = 15,000 L
Using ideal gas equation to determine the moles of ethanol in vapor phase; we have:
PV = nRT
Making n the subject of the formula; we have:
n = 47. 88 mol of ethanol
Moles of ethanol in 1.0 L bottle can be calculated as follows:
Since numbers of moles =
and mass = density × vollume
Then; we can say ;
number of moles =
number of moles =
number of moles =
number of moles = 17.039 mol
Thus , all the ethanol present in the laboratory will evaporate since the mole of ethanol present in vapor is greater. The volume of ethanol left will therefore be zero.
