Answer:

It has been approximately 6 hours after death.

Explanation:

This is because between 2-6 hours after death, the body starts becoming stiff from top to bottom, then spreading to the limbs. Since there is only rigor in his upper body, that would mean that with normal temperature and body conditions, it would be 4 or 5 hours after death. But since he is obese and in cold temperature, there is slower progression of rigor, leading to the maximum time in the first rigor mortis phase, 6 hours.

The theoretical yield of a reaction is the amount of product obtained if the limiting reactant is completely converted to produc
Elis [28]

Answer: 9.9 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

a) moles of H_2

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{8.150g}{2g/mol}=4.08moles

b) moles of C_2H_4

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{9.330g}{28g/mol}=0.33moles

H_2(g)+C_2H_4(g)\rightarrow C_2H_6(g)

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of C_2H_4 combine with 1 mole of H_2

Thus 0.33 mole of C_2H_4 will combine with =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.33=0.33 mole of H_2

Thus C_2H_4 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

As 1 mole of C_2H_4 give =  1 mole of C_2H_6

Thus 0.33 moles of C_2H_4 give =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.33=0.33moles  of C_2H_6

Mass of C_2H_6=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.33moles\times 30g/mol=9.9g

Thus theoretical yield (g) of C_2H_6 produced by the reaction is 9.9 grams

The value of ka for nitrous acid (hno2) at 25 ∘c is 4.5×10−4. what is the value of δg at 25 ∘c when [h+] = 5.9×10−2m , [no2-] =
LuckyWell [14K]
To get the value of ΔG we need to get first the value of ΔG°:

when ΔG° = - R*T*㏑K

when R is constant in KJ = 0.00831 KJ

T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25+273 = 298 K

and K is the equilibrium constant = 4.5 x 10^-4

so by substitution:

∴ ΔG° = - 0.00831 * 298 K * ㏑4.5 x 10^-4

        = -19 KJ

then, we can now get the value of ΔG when:

ΔG = ΔG° - RT*㏑[HNO2]/[H+][NO2]

when ΔG° = -19 KJ

and R is constant in KJ = 0.00831 

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 298 K

and [HNO2] = 0.21 m & [H+] = 5.9 x 10^-2 & [NO2-] = 6.3 x 10^-4 m  

so, by substitution:

ΔG = -19 KJ - 0.00831 * 298K* ㏑(0.21/5.9x10^-2*6.3 x10^-4 )

       = -40
