Answer:

The correct answer is 7.1 degree C.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the initial temperature or To of the block is 23.4 degree C.  

The energy lost or Q from the given wooden block is -759 J.  

The specific heat capacity or c of the wood given is 1.716 J/g°C

The mass of the wooden block given is 27.2 grams.  

There is a need to find the final temperature of the wooden block, for this the formula to be used is,  

Q = m × c × (T-To)

Now by putting the given values in the formula we get,  

-759 = 27.2 × 1.716 (T - 23.4)

T = 7.1 degree C.

How many grams of CaCl2 are in 250 mL of 2.0 M CaCl2?
Tom [10]
The answer is:  " 56 g CaCl₂ " .
__________________________________________________________

Explanation:
__________________________________________________________
2.0 M CaCl₂  = 2.0 mol CaCl₂ / L  ; 

Since: "M" = "Molarity" (measurement of concentration); 

                  = moles of solute per L {"Liter"} of solution.
__________________________________________________________
Note the exact conversion:  1000 mL = 1 L . 

Given: 250 mL ;   

250 mL = ?  L  ?  ;  


250 mL * (1 L / 1000 L) =  (250/1000) L = 0.25 L . 
___________________________________________________________
 
(2.0 mol CaCl₂ / L ) * (0.25L) = (2.0) * (0.25) mol  = 0.50 mol CaCl₂ ;

We have: 0.50 mol CaCl₂ ;  Convert to "g" (grams):

→ 0.50 mol CaCl₂  .
___________________________________________________________
1 mol CaCl₂ = ? g ?

From the Periodic Table of Elements:

1 mol Ca = 40.08 g

1 mol Cl  =  <span>35.45 g .
</span>
There are 2 atoms of Cl in " CaCl₂ " ;  

→ Note the subscript, "2", in the " Cl₂ " ; 
__________________________________________________________
So, to calculate the molar mass of "CaCl₂" :

40.08 g  +  2(35.45 g) = 

40.08 g  +  70.90 g = 110.98 g ;  round to 4 significant figures; 

                                 → round to 111 g/mol .
__________________________________________________________
So:

→  0.50 mol CaCl₂  = ? g CaCl₂  ? ; 

→  0.50 mol CaCl₂ * (111 g CaCl₂ / mol CaCl₂) ;

                                             = (0.50) * (111 g) CaCl₂ ;

                                             =  55.5 g CaCl₂  ;

                                                → round to 2 significant figures; 

                                                →  56 g CaCl₂ .
___________________________________________________________
The answer is:  " 56 g CaCl₂ " .

Water and minerals move up the xylem because of a vacuum created by _____.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The right answer is B) evaporation

Explanation:

Transpiration occurs at the leaf surface which is the loss of water due to the evaporation. This phenomenon works as trigger of water and mineral movement above to the xylem. Due to the evaporation of water at the leaf, negative pressure is created at the surface of leaf. Tension is produced which results in the pull of water from roots up to the xylem vessels.

If an atom has an atomic number of 6 and and abdomens mass of 12 how many electrons does it have
Basile [38]
Atomic number refers to the proton number of the atom itself. Number of electrons in an atom (an atom that is not reacted with any other molecules / Just the atom alone), is the same as the number of protons, because each electron has 1 negative charge, and each proton 1 positive charge, where they cancel out on each other to become a neutral charge.

So, when atomic number is 6, proton number is also 6, and number of electrons will also be 6 in that atom.

Hope this helps! :)

Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c
goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are <u>proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups</u>. Cytochromes <u>undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome</u>:

Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes <em>b</em> and <em>c₁</em>, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome <em>c</em>, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome <em>c</em>, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes <em>a</em>, <em>a₃</em> and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is <u>more electronegative</u><u> than its neighbor </u>"upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the <u>electrons fall in an energetic gradient</u> in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the <u>electronegative oxygen atom</u>.
