Answer:

Q (reaction) = -69.7 kJ

Explanation:

Octane reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ---> 16 CO₂ +18 H₂O

This reaction is exothermic in nature. Therefore, the energy is released into the atmosphere. This reaction took place in a calorimeter, there the temperature (T) increases by 10 C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 6.97 kJ/C

The heat (q) of the reaction is calculated as follows:

Q= -cT, where c is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and T is the increase in temperature

q = -(6.97) x (10) = -69.7kJ

<em>Since the heat capacity is given in kilo -joule per degree Celsius, therefore, the mass of octane is not required </em>

A car experiences a centripetal acceleration of 4.4 m/s ^2 as ur rounds a corner with a speed of 15 m/s. What is the radius of t
damaskus [11]
The calculation of the centripetal acceleration of an object following a circular path is based on the equation,

                  a = v² / r

where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.

Substituting the known values from the given above,

             4.4 m/s² = (15 m/s)² / r

The value of r from the equation is 51.14 m.

Answer: 51.14 m

Which wavelength of light is the best choice when attempting to quantitatively relate solution absorbance and concentration?.
ANEK [815]

The optimum wavelength is 450 nm because that is the wavelength of maximum absorbance by FeSCN2+(aq)

you should choose a wavelength with maximum absorbance. In this case, you are using the scattered light, not the absorbed light as your signal. So you should avoid wavelengths where there are absorption peaks.

<h3>What is wavelength ?</h3>

A waveform signal that is carried in space or down a wire has a wavelength, which is the separation between two identical places (adjacent crests) in the consecutive cycles. This length is typically defined in wireless systems in metres (m), centimetres (cm), or millimetres (mm) (mm).

  • The distance between two waves' crests serves as an illustration of wavelength. When you and another person have the same overall mindset and can easily communicate, that is an example of being on the same wavelength.

How do iquantum tunel through a wall and how long will it take me?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The phenomenon known as "tunneling" is one of the best-known predictions of quantum physics, because it so dramatically confounds our classical intuition for how objects ought to behave. If you create a narrow region of space that a particle would have to have a relatively high energy to enter, classical reasoning tells us that low-energy particles heading toward that region should reflect off the boundary with 100% probability. Instead, there is a tiny chance of finding those particles on the far side of the region, with no loss of energy. It's as if they simply evaded the "barrier" region by making a "tunnel" through it.
