Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. varying the mass per- centages of the two metals produces brasses with different proper- t

ies. a brass called yellow zinc has high ductility and strength and is 34–37% zinc by mass. (a) find the mass range (in g) of copper in 185 g of yellow zinc. (b) what is the mass range (in g) of zinc in a sample of yellow zinc that contains 46.5 g of copper?

First step: The mass of zinc in the yellow zinc sample can be calculated with the help of percentage (given) in the sample. After that, mass of copper is determine by the subtracting the mass of zinc from the total mass of zinc in the given sample.

Thus,

Mass of zinc in 34% zinc sample = 185 g yellow zinc \times \frac{34 zinc}{100 yellow zinc}

= 62.9 g zinc

Mass of zinc in 37% zinc sample = 185 g yellow zinc \times \frac{37 zinc}{100 yellow zinc}

= 68.45 g zinc

Now,

mass of copper in 34% zinc sample =185 g -62.9 g

= 122.1 g \simeq 122 g

mass of copper in 37% zinc sample = 185 g -68.45 g

=116.55 g \simeq 117 g

Thus, the range of mass of copper is 117 g to  122 g

Second step:

34% zinc sample consist of 66% copper (100-34= 66%)

37% zinc sample consist of 63% copper (100-37=63%)

Mass of zinc = (46.5 g copper) \times \frac{34 percent zinc}{66 percent copper}

= 23.95 g\simeq 24 g

Mass of zinc  =46.5 g copper \times \frac{37 percent zinc}{63 percent copper}

= 27.30 g\simeq 27g

Thus, the range of mass of zinc is 24 g to  27 g

if a 500.0-g block of metal absorbs 5,016J of heat when its temperature changes from 20.00 Celcius, what is the specific heat?
ZanzabumX [31]
Correction: The temperature change is from 20 °C to 30 °C.

Answer:
               Cp  =  1.0032 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

Solution:

The equation used for this problem is as follow,

                                                  Q  =  m Cp ΔT   ----- (1)

Where;
            Q  =  Heat  =  5016 J

            m  =  mass  =  500 g

            Cp  =  Specific Heat Capacity  =  ??

            ΔT  =  Change in Temperature  =  30 °C  -  20 °C  =  10 °C

Solving eq. 1 for Cp,

                                 Cp  =  Q / m ΔT

Putting values,
                                 Cp  =  5016 J / (500 g × 10 °C)

                                 Cp  =  1.0032 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

What fraction of the carbon dioxide exhaled by animals is generated by the reactions of the citric acid cycle
puteri [66]

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

Pyruvate is produced by the glycolysis in cytoplasm. The oxidation of pyruvate takes place in mitochondrial matrix.  

Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the reaction given below:

Pyruvate + NAD⁺ + CoA-SH ⇒ acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO₂

1 molecule of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 1 molecule of pyruvate.

Also,  

2 molecules of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 2 molecules of pyruvate (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate).

Also, acetyl-CoA further goes into the citric acid cycle and produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide.

Thus pyruvate produces total 3 molecules of CO₂  and hence glucose produces 6 molecules of CO₂ (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate)

Thus,

<u>Fraction = 2/6 = 1/3</u>
