A piece of an unknown substance weighing 124.0 grams is heated in boiling water to 100.0oc. when the substance is placed in a ca

lorimeter containing 300.0 grams of water, the temperature of the water increased from 20.0oc to 26.0oc. what is the specific heat of the unknown substance, assuming all the heat is transferred to the water?

The heat cause 300g water temperature increase from 20 to 26 celcius. The heat transferred would be: 300g * (26 °C -20 °C) *4.2 joule/gram °C= 7560J

The unknown substance is added to the water, so its final temperature should be the same as the water. The calculation would be:

7560J= 124g * (100-26)* specific heat

specific heat= 7560J / 124g / 74 °C= 0.8238 J/gram °C

The standard free-energy changes for the reactions below are given. Phosphocreatine → creatine + Pi ∆ G'° = –43.0 kJ/mol ATP → A
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

-12.5 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The free-energy predicts if a reaction is spontaneous or not. If it is, ΔG < 0. When a reaction happens by steps, the free-energy of the global reaction can be calculated by the sum of the free-energy of the steps (Hess law). If it's needed to operations at the reaction the same operation must be done in the value of ΔG (if the reaction is inverted, the signal of ΔG must be inverted).

Phosphocreatine → creatine + Pi ∆G'° = –43.0 kJ/mol

ATP → ADP + Pi                             ∆G'° = –30.5 kJ/mol (x-1)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phosphocreatine → creatine + Pi ∆G'° = –43.0 kJ/mol

Pi + ADP → ATP                             ∆G'° = 30.5 kJ/mol

The bold compounds are in opposite sides, so they'll be canceled in the sum of the reactions:

Phosphocreatine + ADP → creatine + ATP

∆G'° = -43.0 + 30.5

∆G'° = -12.5 kJ/mol
