A baby weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces at birth and 7 pounds, I ounce at discharge. What percent of weight did the baby lose

Chemistry

Aloiza [94]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

2.6%

Explanation:

As, 1 ounce (oz) =  0.0625 pounds (lb)

Therefore, weight of baby at discharge = 7 lb,1 oz = 7+0.0625 lb = 7.0625 lb

Since, 1 oz =  0.0625 lb

⇒ 4 oz = 4×0.0625 = 0.25 lb

Therefore, weight of baby at birth = 7 lb,4 oz = 7+0.25 lb = 7.25 lb

The <u>amount of weight lost</u> is equal to the difference of weight of the baby at birth and discharge.

Therefore, <u>weight lost</u> = 7.25 lb - 7.0625 lb = <u>0.1875 lb</u>

Now, the <u>percentage of weight lost</u> by the baby is given by the amount of weight lost divided by the weight of the baby at birth.

Therefore, <u>the percentage of weight los</u>t = weight lost ÷ weight at birth = 0.1875 lb ÷ 7.25 lb × 100 = <u>2.6% </u>

An insulated container contains 0.3 kg of water at 20 degrees C. An alloy with a mass of 0.090 kg and an initial temperature of
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The specific heat of the alloy is 2.324 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of water = 0.3 kg = 300 grams

Temperature of water = 20°C

Mass of alloy = 0.090 kg

Initial temperature of alloy = 55 °C

The final temperature = 25°C

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the specific heat of alloy

Qlost = -Qwater

Qmetal = -Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(alloy) * c(alloy) * ΔT(alloy) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒ mass of alloy = 90 grams

⇒ c(alloy) = the specific heat of alloy = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT(alloy) = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 25-55 = -30°C

⇒ mass of water = 300 grams

⇒ c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 25 - 20 = 5 °C

90 * c(alloy) * -30°C = -300 * 4.184 J/g°C * 5°C

c(alloy) = 2.324 J/g°C

The specific heat of the  alloy is 2.324 J/g°C

Which statement best describes the way a catalyst works?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer: E. It decreases the value of Eact.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.

A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and more molecules convert to products.

The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.
