The initial temperature of the copper piece if a 240.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 400.0 grams of water at 24.0 °C is 345.5°C

<h3>How to calculate temperature?</h3>

The initial temperature of the copper metal can be calculated using the following formula on calorimetry:

Q = mc∆T

mc∆T (water) = - mc∆T (metal)

Where;

  • m = mass
  • c = specific heat capacity
  • ∆T = change in temperature

According to this question, a 240.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 400.0 grams of water at 24.0 °C. If the final temperature of water is 42.0 °C, the initial temperature of the copper is as follows:

400 × 4.18 × (42°C - 24°C) = 240 × 0.39 × (T - 24°C)

30,096 = 93.6T - 2246.4

93.6T = 32342.4

T = 345.5°C

Therefore, the initial temperature of the copper piece if a 240.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 400.0 grams of water at 24.0 °C is 345.5°C.

Which form of co2 transport accounts for the greatest amount of co2 transported in blood?
ra1l [238]
The greatest amount of CO2 transported in blood is in the form of bicarbonate in plasma. Most of the carbon dioxide is converted into bicarbonate with the help of carbonic anhydrase which is an enzyme. This enzyme converts carborn dioxide and water into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate in plasma accounts for about 70% of CO2.

Determine the basic oxidation<br>number for elements in s and p<br>orbitals​
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. Conceptually, the oxidation state, which may be positive, negative or zero, is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of different elements were 100% ionic, with no covalent component. This is never exactly true for real bonds.

The term oxidation was first used by Antoine Lavoisier to signify reaction of a substance with oxygen. Much later, it was realized that the substance, upon being oxidized, loses electrons, and the meaning was extended to include other reactions in which electrons are lost, regardless of whether oxygen was involved.
