calculate the amount of heat needed to melt of solid acetic acid () and bring it to a temperature of . be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits

Respuesta :

The amount of heat needed to melt of solid acetic acid is 32.4 kJ.

Given temperatures are

Heat capacity for acetic acid = 2.06 J/g* °C

The melting point of acetic acid = 16.64 °C

Enthalpy of fusion for acetic acid = 11.73 kJ/mol

Number of moles of acetic acid = 124 g/(60.05 g/mol) = 2.064946 mol

1. Conversion of solid acetic acid at 16.64 °C to liquid acetic acid at 16.64 °C

q1 =m*ΔHf = 2.064946 mol * 11.73 kJ/mol = 24.22182 kJ

2. Conversion of liquid acetic acid at 16.64 °C to gas at 48.7 °C

q2 = m*C*ΔT = 124 g* 2.06 J/g* °C * (48.7 – 16.64 ) °C = 8189.406 J = 8.189406 kJ

Total heat energy required = q1 + q2

= 24.22182 + 8.189406 = 32.41122 kJ

The heat energy required = 32.4 kJ.

The inlet temperature to the heat exchanger at B will be T1. And the output of the heat exchanger coming out at D is T2. The cooling water entering the heat exchanger heats up as it passes through the heat exchanger. q is the amount of heat transferred to the system used to represent the change in enthalpy. Enthalpy is the total potential energy of a system associated with heat transferred to and from the system.
