Answer:

1.8 × 10² cal

Explanation:

When 0.32 g of a walnut is burned, the heat released is absorbed by water and used to raise its temperature. We can calculate this heat (Q) using the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

c: specific heat capacity of water

m: mass of water

ΔT: change in the temperature

Considering the density of water is 1 g/mL, 58.1 mL = 58.1 g.

Q = c × m × ΔT

Q = (1 cal/g.°C) × 58.1 g × 3.1°C

Q = 1.8 × 10² cal

Assume the recommended single dose of an antihistamine for a child weighing between 18-23 lbs is 0.75 teaspoons (tsp). if 1.00 t
blagie [28]

We are given that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL, therefore 0.75 teaspoon is:

0.75 teaspoon * (5 mL / 1 teaspoon) = 3.75 mL

 

So the mass is density times volume:

mass = (12.5 mg/5 ml) * 3.75 mL

<span>mass = 9.375 mg</span>

water’s molar mass is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of glycerol is 92.09 g/mol. At 25 celsius, glycerol is more viscous than water
Gemiola [76]

Answer is: glycerol because it is more viscous and has a larger molar mass.

Viscosity depends on intermolecular interactions.

The predominant intermolecular force in water and glycerol is hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups in which one group has hydrogen atom (H) and another group has highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (like in this molecule), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F).

Could someone explain what oxidation numbers are and what these questions are asking of me?
Oxana [17]

The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. 1. The oxidation number of an atom is zero in a neutral substance that contains atoms of only one element. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion.

The oxidation number of a mono atomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electro negative elements. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.
