. The molar heat of vaporization of acetone, C3H6O, is 30.3 kJ/mol at its boiling point. How many kilojoules of heat would be liberated by the condensation of 5.00 g of acetone?

Respuesta :

2.61 kilojoules of heat would be liberated by the condensation of 5.00 g of acetone

Explanation:

To convert grams into moles

[tex]moles = grams \times \frac{1 mole}{grams}[/tex]

We have 5.00 g acetone

[tex]moles = 5 \times \frac{1}{58.1}[/tex]

[tex]moles = 0.0861[/tex]

Heat liberated = moles [tex]\times[/tex] heat of vapourization

                         =0.0861 mol x 30.3 kJ/mol

                        = 2.61 kJ

Therefore, 2.61 kilojoules of heat would be liberated by the condensation of 5.00 g of acetone
