During a skin burn from an oven, approximate the skin and tissue layer to be infinitely thick compared to the damaged layer. The

temperature throughout the entire skin and tissue layer is uniform at 33ºC before contact with the oven, and the surface layer of skin increases to the temperature of the oven, 200ºC, instantaneously upon contact. Find the depth of the damaged layer of skin after 2 seconds of exposure to the oven temperature. Consider skin as being damaged when it reaches 62ºC. The thermal diffusivity of skin is 2.5 x 10-7 m2/s.

Answer:

The depth of the damage is given as x   = 1.357*10^{-3}m

Explanation:

From Fick's second law

                 \frac{C_{x}-C_{0}}{C_{s}-C_{0}} = 1 -erf [\frac{x}{2\sqrt{Dt} } ] ...(1)

Where

 C_x is the temperature when the skin is damage

 C_0 is the initial temperature of the skin

  Cs is the temperature of the oven

 erf is a mathematical function known as error function

  D is the thermal diffusivity

 x is the depth of the damage

From the question we are given that

            C_x  = 62°C

           C_0   = 33°C

            D   =  2.5 * 10^{-7} m^2/s.

Substituting values into equation one

                    \frac{62-33}{200-33} = 1 -erf [\frac{x}{2\sqrt{2.5*10^{-7}} *2} ]

                  erf[\frac{x}{1.414*10^{-3}} ] = 0.826\\

       Let assume that  z =\frac{x}{1.414*10^{-3}} ...  (2)

Hence

           erf(z) = 0.826

Looking at the table of error function shown on the first uploaded image

 We can use interpolation to obtain the value of z in this manner

                  \frac{z-0.95}{0.8260-0.8209}  = 1        

                     z = 0.96

 Substituting the value of z into equation 2

           0.96 = \frac{x}{1.414*10^{-3}}

             x   = 1.357*10^{-3}m

Law of action-reaction
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

A barium hydroxide solution is prepared by dissolving 2.06 g of Ba(OH)2 in water to make 32.9 mL of solution. What is the concen
navik [9.2K]

Answer:  1.36 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

moles of solute= \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{2.06g}{171g/mol}=0.0120moles

Molarity=\frac{0.0120\times 1000}{32.9}=0.364M

The balanced reaction between barium hydroxide and perchloric acid:

2HCIO_4+Ba(OH_)2\rightarrow BaCIO_4+2H_2O

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HClO_4

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is Ba(OH)_2

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=?\\V_1=8.50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.364M\\V_2=15.9mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times M_1\times 8.50=2\times 0.364\times 15.9\\\\M_1=1.36M

Thus the concentration of the acid is 1.36 M

The ΔHcomb value for anethole is -5539 kJ/mol. Assume 0.840 g of anethole is combusted in a calorimeter whose heat capacity (Cal
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Final temperature of calorimeter is 25.36^{0}\textrm{C}

Explanation:

Molar mass of anethole = 148.2 g/mol

So, 0.840 g of anethole = \frac{0.840}{148.2}moles of anethole = 0.00567 moles of anethole

1 mol of anethole releases 5539 kJ of heat upon combustion

So, 0.00567 moles of anethole release (5539\times 0.00567)kJ of heat or 31.41 kJ of heat

6.60 kJ of heat increases 1^{0}\textrm{C} temperature of calorimeter.

So, 31.41 kJ of heat increases (\frac{1}{6.60}\times 31.41)^{0}\textrm{C} or 4.76^{0}\textrm{C} temperature of calorimeter

So, the final temperature of calorimeter = (20.6+4.76)^{0}\textrm{C}=25.36^{0}\textrm{C}
