A hydrocarbon sample was burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter and the 1.00 kg of water rose from 20.

45°C to 23.65°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter, excluding the water, is 2.21 kJ/°C. Using this information, determine the heat released by the combustion.

Answer:

The heat released by the combustion is 20,47 kJ

Explanation:

Bomb calorimeter is an instrument used to measure the heat of a reaction. The formula is:

Q = C×m×ΔT + Cc×ΔT

Where:

Q is the heat released

C is specific heat of water (4,186kJ/kg°C)

m is mass of water (1,00kg)

ΔT is temperature change (23,65°C - 20,45°C)

And Cc is heat capacity of the calorimeter (2,21kJ/°C)

Replacing these values the heat released by the combustion is:

<em>Q = 20,47 kJ</em>

A water treatment plant applies chlorine for disinfection so that 10 mg/L chlorine is achieved immediately after mixing. The vol
Vlada [557]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of chlorine needed by the plant per day is 9.4625\times 10^8mg

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Volume o water treated per day = 25,000,000 gallons

Converting this volume from gallons to liters, we use the conversion factor:

1 gallon = 3.785 L

So, \frac{3.785L}{1\text{ gallon}}\times 25,000,000\text{ gallons}=9.4625\times 10^7L

Amount of chlorine applied for disinfection = 10 mg/L

Applying unitary method:

For 1 L of water, the amount of chlorine applied is 10 mg

So, for 9.4625\times 10^7L of water, the amount of chlorine applied will be \frac{10mg}{1L\times 9.4625\times 10^7L}=9.4625\times 10^8mg

Hence, the mass of chlorine needed by the plant per day is 9.4625\times 10^8mg

A chemistry teacher is able to grade chemistry labs at a rate of 5 labs for every 3 minutes. They need to grade 165 labs how man
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1.65hr

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of labs  = 5 labs

 Time taken  = 3 minutes

Unknown:

Time taken in hours to grade 165 labs  = ?

Solution:

Let us find the rate of the teacher;

  Rate  = \frac{number of labs}{time}  

  Insert the parameters and solve;

   Rate  = \frac{5}{3}   = 1.67labs/min

Now;

   Time to grade 165 labs  = \frac{number of labs}{rate}  

   Time to grade 165 labs  = \frac{165}{1.67}   = 98.8min

  Since;

               60min = 1hr

               98.8min  = \frac{98.8}{60}   = 1.65hr

Using the mass of a proton 1.0073 amu and assuming it's diameter is1.0x10^-15, calculate the density of a proton in g/cm^3. I'm
valkas [14]
You just have to find a conversion from amu to grams. For every 1 amu, there is 1.66×10⁻²⁴ grams. Thus,

Mass of proton = 1.0073 amu * 1.66×10⁻²⁴ grams/amu = 1.672×10⁻²⁴ grams

Since a proton is spherical in shape, the volume would be:

Volume = 1/6*πd³ = 1/6*π(1.0×10⁻¹⁵ cm)³ = 5.236×10⁻⁴⁶ cm³

Therefore, the density is equal to

Density = Mass/Volume = 1.672×10⁻²⁴ grams/5.236×10⁻⁴⁶ cm³
Density = 3.2×10²¹ g/cm³
