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

If the container is closed and the ethanol is allowed to reach equilibrium with its vapor, how many grams of liquid ethanol rema
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the given data is as follows.

        V = 3.10 L,        T = 19^{o}C = (19 + 273)K = 292 K

       P = 40 torr    (1 atm = 760 torr)

So,     P = \frac{40 torr}{760 torr} \times 1 atm

             = 0.053 atm

          n = ?

According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT.

Putting the given values into the above equation to calculate the value of n as follows.

                 PV = nRT

   0.053 atm \times 3.10 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 292 K

                 0.1643 = n \times 23.97

                    n = 6.85 \times 10^{-3}

It is known that molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol. Hence, calculate its mass as follows.

               No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                 6.85 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{mass}{46 g/mol}  

                    mass = 315.1 \times 10^{-3} g

                              = 0.315 g

Thus, we can conclude that the mass of liquid ethanol is 0.315 g.

Anybody know chemistry Grahams law ?
sukhopar [10]
There is two different types but i’ll just do both meanings just incase.

Graham's Law of Diffusion: the rate of diffusion of one gas through another is inversely proportional to the square root of the density of the gas.

Graham's Law of Effusion: the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the density of the gas.

hopes this helps..!
