You can put a known amount sodium into some sort of time release mechanism such as a pill made from soluble material.  Then you can place the sodium into a calorimeter with a known mass of water and record the temperature change the water undergoes during the reaction.  Then you can use the equation q(water)=m(water)c(water)ΔT to find the amount of heat absorbed by the water.  since the amount of heat absorbed by the water is the amount of heat released from the sodium, q(sodium)=-q(water).  Than you can use the equation q(sodium)=m(sodium)c(sodium)ΔT and solve for c(sodium)

I hope this helps and feel free to ask about anything that was unclear in the comments.

hich of the followings decrease the affinity of adult Hb with O2? A. 2,3 BPG B. hydrogen ion C. CO2 D. Ferrous ion
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

A. 2,3 BPG

Explanation:

2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG), otherwise known as 2,3-DPG, enables the transition of hemoglobin from a very high-oxygen-affinity state to a reduced-oxygen-affinity state.

Tissues hemoglobin oxygen affinity is reduced by numerous physiological factors including.

1. Temperature Increased,

2. Carbon dioxide,

3. Acid and

4. 2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG)

all of which can contribute to decrease the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin which favours unloading and increased oxygen availability to our body cells.
