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

What is conductivity? How is it measured?
horrorfan [7]

Conductivity is a measurement of the ability of an aqueous solution to transfer an electrical current.

Explanation:

To calculate the conductivity of a solution you simply multiply the concentration of each ion in solution by its molar conductivity and charge then add these values for all ions in solution.

A compound is 57.1% oxygen and the remainder carbon. using oxygen as the standard (16 amu) and assuming a 1:1 atom ratio, calcul
Delicious77 [7]
Let's start with the amount given in percent. Let our basis be 100 grams of compound. So, that means that in this amount, 57.1 g is oxygen and 100-57.1=42.9 g is carbon. Since there is 1:1 atom ratio, it also means that moles oxygen = moles carbon.

Moles = Mass/Relative Mass
Let x be the relative mass of oxygen

57.1/16 = 42.9/x
Solving for x,
<em>x = 12.02 amu</em>

What drives an electrolytic cell?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C. An external voltage source

Explanation:

An electrolytic cell converts electrical energy from an external voltage source into chemical energy that drives a reaction.

The external voltage source is usually a battery. This energy form generated from the battery helps to drive chemical reactions.

The process involves the decomposition of an ionic compound by means of current passed into the aqueous or molten form of the compound through conductors known as electrodes.
