The critical point coordinates of ethanol (46.068 g mol-1, d = 0.79 g mL-1) are 514 K and 62.18 atm, the normal boiling point is known as 78.4 °C. 2,442 mL of ethanol is placed in an 8.6 L beaker at 24 °C and allowed to equilibrate. What is the mass percent of liquid ethanol remaining relative to the initial total amount in the container?
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
