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

The solubility of CO2 in water is 0.161 g/100 mL at 20oC and a partial pressure of CO2 of 760 mmHg. What partial pressure of CO2
Schach [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of carbon dioxide having solubility 0.886g/100mL is 4182.4 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

The equation given by Henry's law is:

C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{CO_2}       ......(1)

where,

C_{CO_2 = solubility of carbon dioxide in water = 0.161 g/100 mL

K_H = Henry's constant = ?

p_{CO_2} = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 760 mmHg

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

760mmHg=K_H\times 0.161g/100mL\\\\K_H=\frac{760mmHg}{0.161g/100mL}=4720.5g.mmHg/100mL

Now, calculating the pressure of carbon dioxide using equation 1, we get:

C_{CO_2 = solubility of carbon dioxide in water = 0.886 g/100 mL

K_H = Henry's constant = 4720.5 g.mmHg/100 mL

p_{CO_2} = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = ?

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

p_{CO_2}=4720.5g.mmHg/100mL\times 0.886g/100mL=4182.4mmHg

Hence, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide having solubility 0.886g/100mL is 4182.4 mmHg

A glass marble is rubbed against a piece of silk. As a result the piece of fabric acquires extra electrons. What happens to the
Natalija [7]

Answer:

There was an electron transfer where the marble has lost the same amount of electrons (being positively charged) that the piece of silk has gained (being negatively charged).

Explanation:

As a result of this transfer of electrons and the charges induced in the objects they will attract.

When a body is endowed with electrical properties, that is, it acquires electrical charges, it is said to have been electrified.

Electrification is one of the phenomena that studies electrostatics.

To explain how static electricity originates, we must consider that matter is made of atoms, and atoms of charged particles, a nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons. Normally, matter is neutral (not electrified), it has the same number of positive and negative charges.

Some atoms are easier to lose their electrons than others. If a material tends to lose some of its electrons when it comes into contact with another, it is said to be more positive in the Triboelectric series. If a material tends to capture electrons when it comes into contact with another material, that material is more negative in the triboelectric series.

Predict which member of each pair will be more acidic. Explain your answers. (a) methanol or tert-butyl alcohol (b) 2-chloroprop
Art [367]

Answer:

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Explanation:

Primary alcohols are stronger acids than secondary alcohols which are stronger than tertiary alcohols.

This trend is so because of the stability of the alkoxide ion formed(stabilising the base, increases the acidity). A more stabilised alkoxide ion is a weaker conjugate base (dissociation of an acid in water).

By electronic factors, When there are alkyl groups donating electrons, the density of electrons on th O- will increase a d thereby make it less stable.

By stearic factors, More alkyl group bonded to the -OH would mean the bulkier the alkoxide ion which would be harder to stabilise.

Down the group of the periodic table, basicity (metallic character) decreases as we go from F– to Cl– to Br– to I– because that negative charge is being spread out over a larger volume that is electronegativity decreases down the group.

Electronegative atoms give rise to inductive effect and a decrease in indutive effects leads to a decrease in acidity. Therefore an Increasing distance from the -OH group lsads to a decrease in acidity.

From above,

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

For carbon monoxide poisoning, the treatment is administration of oxygen at high pressure. This increases the amount of oxyhemog
Mama L [17]
Adding oxygen will cause the equation of 
CO-Hemogoblin + O2= Hemogoblin = Oxyhemogoblin

to the right. This is because the increase in pressure leads to more on the left side, and as such a balance needs to be maintained so the equation shifts to the right.
