The heat of combustion for methanol is 727 kj/mol
<em><u>calculation</u></em>
calculate the moles of methanol (CH3OH)
moles = mass/molar mass
molar mass of methanol = 12 +( 1 x3) +16 + 1= 32 g /mol
moles is therefore= 64.0 g / 32 g/mol = 2 moles
Heat of combustion is therefore = 1454 Kj / 2 moles = 727 Kj/mol
PH is calculated using <span>Handerson- Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log [conjugate base] / [acid]
Conjugate Base = Acetate (CH</span>₃COO⁻)
Acid = Acetic acid (CH₃COOH)
So,
pH = pKa + log [acetate] / [acetic acid]
We are having conc. of acid and acetate but missing with pKa,
pKa is calculated as,
pKa = -log Ka
Putting value of Ka,
pKa = -log 1.76 × 10⁻⁵
pKa = 4.75
Now,
Putting all values in eq. 1,
pH = 4.75 + log [0.172] / [0.818]
pH = 4.072
Anna lives in a city that is part of the tropical climate types. It has a constantly warm weather, and thus higher humidity, and according to the annual rainfall, it is most probably a rainfall that appears seasonally, not throughout the whole year.
Tim, on the other hand, lives in a city that is part of the dry climate types. It is most probably a place that is deep into the mainland, like the cold deserts of Central Asia, where the temperatures in the summer are high, and in winter are very low. Because of the distance from the sea, the rainfall doesn't reach this places, so they are very dry, and only have symbolic amount of annual rainfall.
