Answer:
I believe it would be D, to enhance the survival rate.
Explanation:
Given:
Q = 9.4 kJ/(kg-h), the heat production rate
c = 4.18 J/(g-K), the heat capacity
t = 2.5 h, amount of time
Note that
c = 4.18 J/(g-K) = 4180 J/(kg-K) = 4.18 kJ/kg-K)
Consider 1 kg of mass.
Then
Qt = cΔT
where ΔT is the increase in temperature (°K)
(1 kg)*(9.4 kJ/(kg-h))*(2.5 h) = (1 kg)*(4.18 kJ/(kg-K))*(ΔT K)
23.5 = 4.18 ΔT
ΔT = 23.5/4.18 = 5.622 K = 5.622 °C
Answer: 5.62 K (or 5.62 °C)
One of the two products of this reaction is carbonic acid (H2CO3), which immediately forms water and the gas you identified after exposure to the flaming and glowing splints. Write a balanced equation showing the decomposition of carbonic acid.
