The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol is −1371 kJ mol−1 . The density of ethanol is 0.789 g cm−3 . Calculate the heat energy released in kJ when 1 dm3 of ethanol is burned.

1 dm3 of ethanol is equal to 1000 cm3, so the mass of ethanol used is =density x volume = 0.789 g cm-3 x 1000 cm3 = 789gMolar mass of ethanol = (2x12)+(6x1) +(1x16)= 46 g mol-1Moles of ethanol = mass/mola...

Draw the electronic structure of Sodium Chloride and explain how an ionic bond affects the melting and boiling point.

Ionic bonds are very strong, with elements involved in a compound having a full outer shell of electrons due to donating and accepting electrons, allowing them to be in a very stable state. In this case, ...

Why are complex ions containing transition elements coloured?

Firstly a transition element is an element which forms one or more stable ions with incompletely filled d orbitals.Ligands are charged or neutral, ions or molecules, which form coordination bonds with a c...
