Assume the weight of an average adult is 70. kg, and that 420. kJ of heat are evolved per mole of oxygen consumed as a result of

the oxidation of foodstuffs, knowing that the number of moles of O2 inhaled per minutes are 0.02 mol/min. Suppose an adult body were encased in a thermally insulating barrier. If as a result of this barrier all the heat evolved by metabolism of foodstuffs were retained by the body, what would the temperature difference of the body reach after 3 hours

Answer:

The temperature difference of the body after 3 hours = 5.16 K

Explanation:

we know that the number of moles of O₂ inhaled are 0.02 mole/min⁻¹

                                   or, 1.2 mole.h⁻¹

The average heat evolved by the oxidation of foodstuffs is then:

⇒          Q avg =\frac{1.2 X 420 X 10^{3} }{70} = 7.2 kj.h⁻¹.Kg⁻¹

the heat produced after 3 h would be:

                 =    7.2 kj. h⁻¹.Kg⁻¹ x 3 h

                 = 21.6 kj. kg⁻¹

                 = 21.6 x 10³ j kg⁻¹

We know Qp = Cp x ΔT

Assume the heat capacity of the body is 4.18 J g⁻¹K⁻¹

⇒ ΔT = \frac{Qp}{Cp}

⇒ ΔT = \frac{(21.6 X 10^{3} j.kg^{-1} ) }{(4.18 j k^{-1}g^{-1})   X (1000g.kg^{-1} )}

⇒ ΔT = 5.16 K

When 1.045 g of CaO is added to 50.0 mL of water at 25.0 °C in a calorimeter, the temperature of the water increases to 32.3 °C.
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

1.71 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of the enthalpy change of a process is shown below as:-

\Delta H=m\times C\times \Delta T

Where,  

\Delta H  is the enthalpy change

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T  is the temperature change

Thus, given that:-

Mass of CaO = 1.045 g

Specific heat = 4.18 J/g°C

\Delta T=32.3-25.0\ ^0C=7.3\ ^0C

So,  

\Delta H=1.045\times 4.18\times 7.3\ J=31.88713\ J

Also, 1 J = 0.001 kJ

So,  

\Delta H=0.03189\ kJ

Also, Molar mass of CaO = 56.0774 g/mol

Moles=\frac{Mass}{Molar\ mass}=\frac{1.045}{56.0774}\ mol=0.01863\ mol

Thus, Enthalpy change in kJ/mol is:-

\Delta H=\frac{0.03189}{0.01863}\ kJ/mol=1.71\ kJ/mol

What kind of charge does a neutron have?
Nat2105 [25]
Neutrons actually don't carry an electrical charge, which is why they are called neutrons because they are "Neutral".
