Hypothermic body temperature can range from 28.7 °C to 35.5 °C. What is this range in degrees Fahrenheit?

1 answer:

5 0

Solution:

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, the formula to be used is (C * 9/5) + 32

So in our given, 28.7 degrees Celsius:

Farenheit = (28.7 * 9/5) + 32
= 51.66 + 32
= 83.66 degrees Fahrenheit

Next, 35.5 degrees Celsius:
Farenheit = (35.5 * 9/5) + 32
= 63.9 + 32
= 95.9 degrees Fahrenheit

So in Fahrenheit, the range would be 83.66 – 95.9 degrees Fahrenheit.

The standard cell potential (E°cell) for the reaction below is +0.63 V. The cell potential for this reaction is ________ V when

tia_tia [17]

Answer : The cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

Explanation :

The given cell reactions is:

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)$

The half-cell reactions are:

Oxidation half reaction (anode): $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode): $Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb$

First we have to calculate the cell potential for this reaction.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}$

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298K$

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.63 V

$E_{cell}$ = cell potential for the reaction = ?

$[Zn^{2+}]$ = 3.5 M

$[Pb^{2+}]$ = $2.0\times 10^{-4}M$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=(+0.63)-\frac{2.303\times (8.314)\times (298)}{2\times 96500}\log \frac{3.5}{2.0\times 10^{-4}}$

$E_{cell}=0.50V$

Therefore, the cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

A 155.0 g piece of copper at 128 oC is dropped into 250.0 g of water at 17.9 oC. (The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/goC.) C

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

$T_{eq}=23.85^oC$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as the copper's heat loss is gained by the water, the following energetic relationship is:

$\Delta H_{Cu}=-\Delta H_{H_2O}$

Therefore the equilibrium temperature shows up as:

$m_{Cu}Cp_{Cu}(T_{Cu}-T{eq}) = m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}(T_{eq}-T_{H_2O})\\\\T_{eq}=\frac{m_{Cu}Cp_{Cu}T_{Cu}-m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}T_{H_2O}}{m_{Cu}Cp_{Cu}-m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}} \\$
