Why do organisms need to maintain homeostasis

1 answer:

6 0

Here is your answer:

Homeostasis is how organisms keep cool or warm during a hot or cold day! Without homeostasis organisms will freeze or get hot easier which could cause diseases such as skin disease which could cause death if the part of the body gets affected!

Butane C4H10 (g),(Hf = –125.7), combusts in the presence of oxygen to form CO2 (g) (Delta.Hf = –393.5 kJ/mol), and H2O(g) (Delta

shusha [124]

Answer: The enthalpy of combustion, per mole, of butane is -2657.4 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

The expression for enthalpy change is,

$\Delta H=[n\times H_f_{products}]-[n\times H_f_{reactants}]$

Putting the values we get :

$\Delta H=[8\times H_f_{CO_2}+10\times H_f_{H_2O}]-[2\times H_f_{C_4H_{10}+13\times H_f_{O_2}}]$

$\Delta H=[(8\times -393.5)+(10\times -241.82)]-[(2\times -125.7)+(13\times 0)]$

$\Delta H=-5314.8kJ$

2 moles of butane releases heat = 5314.8 kJ

1 mole of butane release heat = $\frac{5314.8}{2}\times 1=2657.4kJ$

Thus enthalpy of combustion per mole of butane is -2657.4 kJ

HELPPPPP ME <br><br>PLISSSSS

Talja [164]

Answer:

pH value of a solution depends on the concentration of hydrogen ions

(pH = -log[H+(aq)].

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, while ethanoic acid is a weak acid. Strong acids ionize completely in water (to give ions which includes H+(aq)), while weak acids only ionize partially in water.

Therefore, even if both hydrochloric acid and ethanoic acid are monobasic acids (each molecule can ionize completely to give 1 hydrogen ion), since hydrochloric acid ionizes completely in water and ethanoic acid does not ionize completely, the concentration of hydrogen ions in hydrochloric acid is higher than that of ethanoic acid, leading to a lower pH value for hydrochloric acid, while higher for ethanoic acid.

A force is applied but nothing happens

Lana71 [14]

If a force is applied but nothing happens, then it means that the forces are balanced. Being at such state, <span>equal forces are acting on an object in opposite directions. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>

A sample of gas (1.9 mol) is in a flask at 21 °C and 697 mm Hg. The flask is opened and more gas is added to the flask. The new

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: There are now 2.07 moles of gas in the flask.

Explanation:

$PV=nRT$

P= Pressure of the gas = 697 mmHg = 0.92 atm (760 mmHg= 1 atm)

V= Volume of gas = volume of container = ?

n = number of moles = 1.9

T = Temperature of the gas = 21°C=(21+273)K= 294 K (0°C = 273 K)

R= Value of gas constant = 0.0821 Latm\K mol

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{1.9\times 0.0821 \times 294}{0.92}=49.8L$

When more gas is added to the flask. The new pressure is 775 mm Hg and the temperature is now 26 °C, but the volume remains same.Thus again using ideal gas equation to find number of moles.

$PV=nRT$

P= Pressure of the gas = 775 mmHg = 1.02 atm (760 mmHg= 1 atm)

V= Volume of gas = volume of container = 49.8 L

n = number of moles = ?

T = Temperature of the gas = 26°C=(26+273)K= 299 K (0°C = 273 K)

R= Value of gas constant = 0.0821 Latm\K mol

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1.02\times 49.8}{0.0821\times 299}=2.07moles$

Thus the now the container contains 2.07 moles.

How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton and a

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

C. The mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or

a neutron.

Explanation:

When we compare the mass of an electron to that of proton or neutron, the mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or a neutron.

Electrons are negatively charged particles in an atom

Protons are positively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges.

The relative mass of an electron compared to that of a proton is $\frac{1}{1840}$
This is a very small value
Electrons generally have mass of 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg
Protons weigh 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg

Neutrons weigh 1.68 x 10⁻²⁷kg

We can see that electrons have very small mass and this is why when calculating the mass of an atom, we use the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
