The 2-carbon alcohol called ethanol is most common because it's made from something else very common: sugar! (this is also why ethanol is the one alcohol that's not toxic, our bodies can metabolize it). Ethanol is mass-produced in factories on an industrial scale, and is commonly used as a fuel (or mixed as an additive into other fuels). The combustion reaction below shows that 6 molecules of oxygen is required to completely burn two molecules of ethanol. How many molecules of carbon dioxide are produced after burning ethanol?

A 1.23 g sample of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) was burned in excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter, which alone had a heat capacity of 2.67 kJ/°C, CONTAINED 745 G OF WATER. The temperature of the calorimeter and its contents increased from 23.77 °C to 27.95 °C. What is ΔH (in kJ) for the combustion of 1.00 mol of acetic acid is 60 g/mol.

When copper and sulfur react, two products are possible: copper(I) sulfide, Cu2S, and copper(II) sulfide, CuS. A scientist hypothesizes that holding a loop of thin copper wire in the vapour from boiling sulfur will produce pure Cu2S when the copper and sulfur react. Suggest what measurements, related to mole ratios, the scientist should make to test this hypothesis.

Which of the following correctly explains why the vapor pressure of water has to be included in the calculations? Some of the liquid water evaporates into the gas, and increases the total pressure generated by the trapped gas. As the H2(g) is bubbled up the reaction solution, some of the H2(g) molecules are solubilized by water in the aqueous solution, effectively decreasing the measured pressure above. The pressure contributed by the H2(g) is greater than the measured total pressure because of the contribution of partial pressure of water vapor. The pressure exerted by the evolved H2(g) is reduced because of the co-presence of water vapor, thus Pwater vapor has to be added to Pdry gas. Overview of the experiment:
