Answers

An mL is also equivalent to cm³, signifying that 140 mL is equivalent to 140 cm³. The mass of ethanol is calculated by multiplying the density by the volume.

mass = (140 cm³)(0.789 g/cm³)
mass = 110.46 g

Then, calculate the number of moles of ethanol by dividing the mass by the molar mass of ethanol equal to 46.07 g/mol.
number of moles = (110.46 g/ 46.07 g/mol) = 2.4 mol

Then, multiply the number of moles by the Avogadro's number.
2.4 mol (6.022 x 10²³)
number of molecules = 1.445 x 10²⁴

Answer from: kromer6797

Taking into account the definition of density and Avogadro's number, 1.44×10²⁴ molecules of ethanol are present in 140 ml of ethanol.

Definition of density

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance. Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Avogadro's Number

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

Amount of molecules of ethanol

In this case, you know that:

Density= 0.789 $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$ Volume= 140 mL= 140 cm³

Replacing in the definition of density:

$0.789\frac{g}{cm^{3} } =\frac{mass}{140cm^{3} }$

Solving:

mass= 0.789 $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$ ×140 cm³

mass= 110.46 g

The molar mass of ethanol, that is, the amount of mass present in one mole of the compound, is 46 $\frac{g}{mol}$ . Then the number of moles that 110.46 g of ethanol contain is calculated by:

110.46 g× $\frac{1 mol}{46 g}$ = 2.40 moles

Finally, you can apply the following rule of three: If by definition of Avogadro's number 1 mole of ethanol contains 6.023×10²³ molecules, 2.40 moles contains how many molecules?

amount of molecules= (2.40 moles× 6.023×10²³ molecules)÷ 1 mole

amount of molecules= 1.44×10²⁴ moles

In summary, 1.44×10²⁴ molecules of ethanol are present in 140 ml of ethanol.

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.
