Answer:

— Washing with soap and water is an effective way to destroy and dislodge many microbes

Explanation:

  1. Soap actually kill germs on our hands, it breaks them up and removes them
  2. .But soap molecules have two different ends to them.
  3. One end is attracted to water molecules – this is called hydrophilic
  4. – and the other end loves oil and fat molecules – this is called hydrophobic.
  5. Soap is able to bind to the oils on our hands, and then mix with the water to wash all the germs away.

How much energy is required to vaporize 48.7 g of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) at its boiling point, if its ΔHvap is 31.6 kJ/mol?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The answer is 18.12KJ is required to vaporise 48.7 g of dichloromethane at its boiling point

Explanation:

To solve the above question we have the given variable as follows

ΔHvap = heat of vaporisation of dichloromethane per mole = 31.6KJ/mole

However since the heat of vaporisation is the heat to vaporise one mole of dichloromethane, then, for 48.7 grams of dichloromethane, we have.

The number of moles of dichloromethane present = 48.7/84.93 = 0.573 moles

Therefore, the amount of heat required to vaporise 48.7 grams of dichloromethane at its boiling point is 31.6KJ/mole×0.573moles =18.12KJ
