At the same temperature, steam burns are often more severe that water burns because of water's high HEAT OF VAPORIZATION.
Water possesses high heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization refers to the amount of heat that is needed to convert a unit mass of water to gas. After getting to the boiling point, a lot of heat is still needed to be absorbed by a boiling water before it can be converted to the gaseous form. Thus, the heat that is inherent in the steam is greater than that which is found in the boiling water, that is why the steam causes more damages.

Convert 59,800 cg/L to g/mL

alexgriva [62]

To convert the given value to the desired one, use the proper unit conversions and dimensional analysis. Use the following conversion for the first set.

1 g = 100 cg
1 L = 1000 mL

Using the concept presented above,

V = (59800 cg/L)(1 g/100 cg)1 L/1000 mL)
V = 0.598 g/mL

A standard solution is prepared for the analysis of fluoxymesterone (c20h29fo3; 336 g/mol), an anabolic steroid. a stock solutio

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The concentration of new solution will be 1×10∧-7 M.

Solution:

Data Given

given mass of fluoxymesterone =16.8mg = 0.0168 g

molar mass of fluoxymesterone = 336g/mol

vol. of fluoxymesterone = 500.0 ml = 0.500 L

Stock Molarity of fluoxymesterone = (0.0168/336)÷0.500 = 1×10∧-4 M

So applying dilution formula

Stock Solution : New Solution

M1.V1 = M2.V2

( 1×10∧-4 M) × (1×10∧-6 L) = M2 × 0.001 L

[( 1×10∧-4) × (1×10∧-6)]÷[0.001] = M2

1 × 10∧-7 = M2

Result:

The concentration of new solution M2 will be 1 × 10∧-7
