In general, the skeleton is usually what becomes preserved in fossil. This is because over time, soft tissues and organs will degrade and decompose before the necessary time passes for fossilization. Bones are much more rigid and are able to overcome the process of fossilization. Based on this information, we can eliminate the skeleton and probably the feathers. We can eliminate feathers because we know and have evidence that feathers are capable of being fossilized. I would also say that we could eliminate the beak for this question. That's because birds' beaks are made of a protein called beta keratin, which is quite hard and durable. This leaves you with the decision of either the skin or internal organs. Which one do you think would degrade first? Think about the predators that may come by and eat parts of the bird after it dies.

The reaction nacl(s) → nacl(aq) is performed in a coffee cup calorimeter, using 100 ml of h2o(l) and 5.00g of nacl. if the tempe
MrRissso [65]

Since the density of water is 1 g /mL, hence there is 100 g of H2O. So total mass is:

m = 100 g + 5 g = 105 g

 

=> The heat of reaction can be calculated using the formula:

δhrxn = m C ΔT

where m is mass, C is heap capacity and ΔT is change in temperature = negative since there is a decrease

 

δhrxn = 105 g * 4.18 J/g°C * (-2.30°C)

δhrxn = -1,009.47 J

 

=> However this is still in units of J, so calculate the number of moles of NaCl.

 

moles NaCl = 5 g / (58.44 g / mol)

moles NaCl = 0.0856 mol

 

=> So the heat of reaction per mole is:

δhrxn = -1,009.47 J / 0.0856 mol

δhrxn = -11,798.69 J/mol = -11.8 kJ/mol

svetoff [14.1K]
A human body, just like a dog's, will sweat. Dogs will pants and sweat through the pads of their feet to cool down, and human will sweat through their foreheads, armpits, etc.
Dogs will tend to, in hot environments, lay on the floor or where the surface is cooler. Since they cannot simply strip their clothing to keep cool they tend to find cool surfaces, fans, sources of air, etc. to keep cool from the heat.

0.350 mol of a solid was dissolved in 260 mL of water at 21.2 oC. After the solid had fully dissolved, the final temperature of
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: Heat of the solution  = mass water × specific heat water × change in temperature

mass water = 260ml (1.00g/ml ) = 260g

specific heat of water = c(water) = 4.184J/ g°C

Heat change of water = final temperature - initial temperature

                                       = 26.5 - 21.2

                                        = 5.3 °C

H = 260 g ( 4.184J/g°C ) (5.3°C) = 5765J

Molar heat = \frac{5765J}{0.350mol}

                    = 16473J/mol

Explanation: finding molar heat requires first to look at  specific heat of water and the change of water temperature
