STP = standard temperature and pressure

Use the formula:

d = MP/RT

where:

d = density = 1.25 g/L

M = molar mass (unknown)

P = pressure = 1 atm (standard pressure)

R = universal gas constant = 0.8206 L*atm/mol*K

T = temperature = 0C or 293.15 K (standard temperature)

1.25 g/L = M*(1 atm)/(0.08206 L*atm/mol*K)*(273.15 K)

M = 28.0 grams/mol

Will the vapors of acetic acid go to the floor or ceiling of a room

The vapor of acetic acid will go to the floor of the room.

This is because the density of acetic acid vapor is equal to 2.07 is higher (almost twice) than the density of air which is equal to only 1

How much heat will be absorbed by a 26.3 g piece of aluminum (specific heat = 0.930 J/g･°C) as it changes temperature from 23.0°

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1076.196 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

Since we are given the mass, specific heat, and temperature, we should use the following formula for heat energy.

$q=mc\Delta T$

The mass of the aluminum is 26.3 grams. Its specific heat is 0.930 Joules per gram degree Celsius. We need to find the change in temperature.

The change in temperature is the difference between the initial temperature to the final temperature.
The temperature changes from 23.0°C to 67.0°C, so the initial is 23 degrees and the final is 67 degrees.
ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature
ΔT= 67°C - 23°C
ΔT= 44°C

Now we know all the values.
