Answer:

The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by Lister. The correct option is E

Explanation:

Phenol( carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound. It has the following properties:

- it's soluble in water

- it's a weak acid and

- highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution

In Medical field, phenol was first used as an antiseptic by Joseph Lister.Joseph Lister was a student at University College London under Robert Liston, later rising to the rank of Surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He believed that patients who passed through surgery, died due to infections caused by microorganisms.He theorized that if germs could be killed or prevented, no infection would occur. Lister reasoned that a chemical could be used to destroy the micro-organisms that cause infection. He made use of the carbolic acid by soaking a clean cloth in them, and placing it over the surgical wounds of patients.

How many joules of energy do you have if you have 0.45 L of water in a can and you heat the 23C water to 55C site:socratic.org
Bess [88]

Answer:

Q = 60192 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of water = 0.45 L

Initial temperature = 23°C

Final temperature = 55°C

Amount of heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  55°C - 23°C

ΔT = 32°C

one L = 1000 g

0.45 × 1000 = 450 g

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 j/g°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 450 g.  4.18 j/g°C.  32°C

Q = 60192 j

This stadium can hold 100,000, or 1 x 10^5, people. The number of atoms in a grain of iron is about 1 x 10^18. Would you need 1 
polet [3.4K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1 x 10^13 stadiums

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

From the question;

1 x 10^5 people can fill 1 stadium

We are given,  1 x 10^18 atoms of iron

We are required to determine the number of stadiums that  1 x 10^18 atoms of iron would occupy.

We are going to assume that a stadium would occupy a number of atoms equivalent to the number of people.

Therefore;

One stadium =  1 x 10^5 atoms

Then, to find the number of stadiums that will be occupied by  1 x 10^18 atoms;

No. of stadiums = Total number of atoms ÷ Atoms in a single stadium

                           =  1 x 10^18 atoms ÷  1 x 10^5 atoms

                          =  1 x 10^13 stadiums

Therefore,  1 x 10^18 atoms of iron would occupy  1 x 10^13 stadiums
