Answer: c. Some health risks are increased by heredity, which manifest under certain environmental conditions.

Explanation:

Many abiotic factors (non-living factors) such as radiations, hazardous substances present in the environment such as air, water and soil may originate from the industries, mining practices, fossil fuels and landfills. Some of the substances are carcinogenic and mutagenic in nature. These are capable of affecting the genetic make up of the organism. The genetic variations or mutations occurs may transmit from the parent to the offsprings.

Therefore, on the basis of the above information, c. Some health risks are increased by heredity, which manifest under certain environmental conditions. is the correct option.

The oxidation of copper(I) oxide, Cu 2 O ( s ) , to copper(II) oxide, CuO ( s ) , is an exothermic process. 2 Cu 2 O ( s ) + O 2
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The energy released as heat when 9.94 g Cu 2 O ( s ) undergo oxidation at constant pressure is -10.142 kJ

Explanation:

Here we have

2Cu₂O ( s ) + O₂ ( g ) ⟶ 4 CuO ( s ) Δ H ∘ rxn = − 292.0 kJ mol

In the above reaction, 2 Moles of Cu₂O (copper (I) oxide) react with one mole of O₂ to produce 4 moles of CuO, with the release of − 292.0 kJ/mol of energy

Therefore,

1 Moles of Cu₂O (copper (I) oxide) react with 0.5 mole of O₂ to produce 2 moles of CuO, with the release of − 146.0 kJ  of energy

We have 9.94 g of Cu₂O with molar mass given as 143.09 g/mol

Hence the number of moles in 9.94 g of Cu₂O is given as

9.94/143.09 = 6.95 × 10⁻² moles of Cu₂O

6.95 × 10⁻² moles of Cu₂O will therefore produce 6.95 × 10⁻² ×  − 146.0 kJ mol  or -10.142 kJ.

A solution is prepared at that is initially in chloroacetic acid , a weak acid with , and in potassium chloroacetate . Calculate
ratelena [41]

Answer:

2.94

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>A solution is prepared at 25 °C that is initially 0.38 M in chloroacetic acid (HCH₂ClCO₂), a weak acid with Ka= 1.3 x 10⁻³, and 0.44 M in sodium chloroacetate (NaCH₂CICO₂). Calculate the pH of the solution. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.</em>

<em />

We have a buffer system formed by a weak acid (HCH₂ClCO₂) and its conjugate base (CH₂CICO₂⁻ coming from NaCH₂CICO₂). We can calculate the pH using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

pH = pKa + log [CH₂CICO₂⁻]/[HCH₂ClCO₂]

pH = -log 1.3 x 10⁻³ + log (0.44 M/0.38 M)

pH = 2.94

How does the calorie compare to the metric unit the joule? How do you calculate a calorie? Is it the same for all types of food?
wlad13 [49]

Calorie (cal) or small calorie, is the amount of energy needed to heat one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

One small calorie is approximately 4.2 joules.

A calorie is a unit of energy.

For example:

Q = 150000 J; released energy.

Convert Jules in calories:

Q = 150000 J ÷ 4.186 J/calorie.

Q = 35833.73 calorie.

The large calorie or nutritional calorie (symbols: Cal, kcal) is the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogramof water by one degree Celsius.  

A nutritional calorie, or kilocalorie, is equal to 1000 calories.

One large calorie is 4.184 kilojoules: 1 Cal = 4.184 kJ.

For example:

E = 2500 Cal; energy burnt.

E = 2500 Cal · 4.184 kJ/Cal.

E = 10460 kJ.
