- A Different civilization on a distant planet has developed a new temperature scale based on ethyl alcohol. The freezing point of ethyl alcohol (117C) is designated as 0J, and its boiling point (78C) is designated as 100J. Assuming that the relationship between C and J is linear, (a) draw a graph of the line using the data above. (b) what is the slope of the line? (c) what is the y-intercept of the line? (d) Write an equation to convert J to C.arrow_forwardZinc ore (zinc sulfide) is treated with sulfuric acid, leaving a solution with some undissolved bits of material and releasing hydrogen sulfide gas. If 10.8 g of zinc ore is treated with 50.0 mL of sulfuric arid (density 1.153 g/mL), 65.1 g of solution and undissolved material remains. In addition, hydrogen sulfide (density 1.393 g/L) is evolved.
