Answer:
≅ 16.81 kJ
Explanation:
Given that;
mass of acetone = 31.5 g
molar mass of acetone = 58.08 g/mol
heat of vaporization for acetone = 31.0 kJ/molkJ/mol.
Number of moles = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]
Number of moles of acetone = [tex]\frac{31.5}{58.08}[/tex]
Number of moles of acetone = 0.5424 mole
The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone can be determined by multiplying the number of moles of acetone with the heat of vaporization of acetone;
Hence;
The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone = 0.5424 mole × 31.0 kJ/mol
The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone = 16.8144 kJ
≅ 16.81 kJ
