Q4: The average heat evolved by the oxidation of food in an average adult per hour per kilogram of body weight is 7.20 ୩୎ ୩୥ ୦୰.

Assume the weight of an average adult is 62.0 kkg. Suppose the total heat evolved by this oxidation is tranderred into the surroundings over a period of 1 week. Calculate the entropy change of the surroundings associated with this heat transfer. Assume the surroundings are at 293K.

Answer:

The entropy change of the surroundings associated with this heat transfer is 255.9J/K

Explanation:

The heat evolved by the oxidation of food is 7.2J/Kg.h thus, multiplying the heat by the weight of the person and by the time the total heat (q) is obtained. In this case, the weight is 62.0Kg and a weak has 168 hours.

q = 7.2\frac{J}{Kg.h}x62.0Kgx168h = 74995.2J

The entropy change of the surrounding associated with this heat transfer can be calculated by the ratio between the heat exchanged and the temperature.

ΔS = \frac{q}{T} = \frac{74995.2J}{293K} = 255.9J/K

A chemist prepares a sample of helium gas at a certain pressure, temperature and volume and then removes all but a fourth of the
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The temperature must be changed to 4 times of the initial temperature so as to keep the pressure and the volume the same.

Explanation:

Pressure in the container is P and volume is V.

Temperature of the helium gas molecules =T_1

Molecules helium gas = x

Moles of helium has = n_1= \frac{x}{N_A}

PV = nRT (Ideal gas equation)

PV=n_1RT_1...[1]  

After removal of helium gas only a fourth of the gas molecules remains and pressure in the container and volume should remain same.

Molecules of helium left after removal = \frac{x}{4}

Moles of helium has left after removal = n_2= \frac{x}{4\times N_A}

PV=n_2RT_2...[2]

n_1RT_1=n_2RT_2

\frac{x}{N_A}\times T_1=\frac{x}{4\times N_A}\times T_2

T_1=\frac{T_2}{4}

T_2=4T_1

The temperature must be changed to 4 times of the initial temperature so as to keep the pressure and the volume the same.

What is the ph of a 0.014 M HCL solution?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

pH = 1.853

Explanation:

For every mole of hydrochloric acid, one mole of hydronium ion is required. Thus, in order to neutralize 0.014 moles of HCL, 0.014 moles of hydronium is required.

[H_3O^+] = [HCl] = 0.014

pH  = -log [H^+] = -log [H_3O^+]

Substituting the available values in above equation, we can say that   the pH of the solution is equal to

- log (0.014)

pH = 1.853

pH of a 0.014 M HCL solution = 1.853
