2 answers:

5 0

Collagen in the human body connects and supports bodily tissue such as skin, bones, muscles and cartilage. It supports the internal organs and can even be found in teeth! Collagen's main function is to sustain tendons, skin, and cartilage and provide firmness and elasticity to those structures.

It strengthens tendons and supports the skin and internal organs.

Collagen makes up about 25 percent of protein in the body. Bones and teeth are made by adding minerals to it.

A cubic piece of platinum metal (specific heat capacity = 0.1256 J/°C･g) at 200.0°C is dropped into 1.00 L of deuterium oxide ('

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

$a=5.65cm$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for this heat transfer process in which the heat lost by the hot platinum is gained by the cold deuterium oxide based on the equation:

$Q_{Pt}=-Q_{Deu}$

We can represent the heats in terms of mass, heat capacities and temperatures:

$m_{Pt}Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})=-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})$

Thus, we solve for the mass of platinum:

$m_{Pt}=\frac{-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})}{Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})} \\\\m_{Pt}=\frac{-1.00L*1110g/L*4.211J/(g\°C)*(41.9-25.5)\°C}{0.1256J/(g\°C)*(41.9-200.0)\°C} \\\\m_{Pt}=3860.4g$

Next, by using the density of platinum we compute the volume:

$V_{Pt}=\frac{3860.4g}{21.45g/cm^3}\\ \\V_{Pt}=180cm^3$

Which computed in terms of the edge length is:

$V=a^3$

Therefore, the edge length turns out:

$a=\sqrt[3]{180cm^3}\\ \\a=5.65cm$

Best regards.

3. Given the following equation:

miskamm [114]

Answer:

4.767 grams of KCl are produced from 2.50 g of K and excess Cl2

Explanation:

The balanced equation is

2 K+ Cl2 --->2 KCI

Here the limiting agent is K. Hence, the amount of KCl will be calculated as per the mass of 2.50 gram of K

Mass of one atom/mole of potassium is 39.098 grams

Number of moles is 2.5 grams = $\frac{2.5}{39.098} = 0.064$

So, 2 moles of K produces 2 moles of KCL

0.064 moles of K will produces 0.064 moles of KCl

Mass of one molecule of KCl is 74.5513 g/mol

Mass of 0.064 moles of KCl is 4.767 grams
