Answer:

2.103 J/C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat = Heat Capacity * Temperature change

Heat Capacity = Quantity of heat / Temperature Change

Heat Capacity = 61/29

Heat Capacity = 2.103 J/C

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{528.7 g} }$

Explanation:

It often helps to write the heat as if it were a reactant or a product in the thermochemical equation.

Then you can consider it to be 11018 "moles" of "kJ"

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

M_r: 32.00

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ⟶ 16CO₂ + 8H₂O + 11 018 kJ

n/mol: 7280

1. Moles of O₂

The molar ratio is 25 mol O₂:11 018 kJ

$\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{7280 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{25 mol O}_{2}}{\text{11 018 kJ}} = \text{16.52 mol O}_{2}$

2. Mass of O₂

$\text{Mass of C$_{8}$H}_{18} = \text{16.52 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \textbf{528.6 g O}_{2}\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{528.67 g O}_{2}}$}$

2-phosphoglycerate(2PG) is converted to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) by the enzyme enolase. The standard free energy change(deltaGo

pogonyaev

Answer:

The correct option is: (D) -2.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Chemical reaction involved: 2PG ↔ PEP

Given: The standard Gibb's free energy change: ΔG° = +1.7 kJ/mol

Temperature: T = 37° C = 37 + 273.15 = 310.15 K (∵ 0°C = 273.15K)

Gas constant: R = 8.314 J/(K·mol) = 8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/(K·mol) (∵ 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Reactant concentration: 2PG = 0.5 mM

Product concentration: PEP = 0.1 mM

Reaction quotient: $Q_{r} =\frac{\left [ PEP \right ]}{\left [ 2PG \right ]} = \frac{0.1 mM}{0.5 mM} = 0.2$

To find out the Gibb's free energy change at 37° C (310.15 K), we use the equation:

$\Delta G = \Delta G^{\circ } + 2.303 R T log Q_{r}$

$\Delta G = 1.7 kJ/mol + [2.303 \times (8.314 \times 10^{-3} kJ/(K.mol))\times (310.15 K)] log (0.2)$

$\Delta G = 1.7 + [5.938] \times (-0.699) = 1.7 - 4.15 = (-2.45 kJ/mol)$

Therefore, the Gibb's free energy change at 37° C (310.15 K): ΔG = (-2.45 kJ/mol)

A car is traveling at 50mph. How long will it take the car to travel 300 miles?

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

6 hours

Explanation:

If it is traveling at 50mph and needs to reah 300 miles, to figure this problem out you would want to divide 300 by 50 to get 6 hours. So it will take six hours until the car travels 300 miles

Hope this helps.
