A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 783 J/oC and contains 254 g of water whose specific heat capacity is 4.184 J/goC. How

much heat, in kilojoules, is evolved or absorbed by a reaction when the temperature goes from 23.73 oC to 26.01 oC? cH2O = 4.184 J/g.K

Answer : The amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ

Explanation :

Heat released by the reaction = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter + Heat absorbed by the water

q=[q_1+q_2]

q=[c_1\times \Delta T+m_2\times c_2\times \Delta T]

where,

q = heat released by the reaction

q_1 = heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q_2 = heat absorbed by the water

c_1 = specific heat of calorimeter = 783J/^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_2 = mass of water = 254 g

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=(23.73-26.01)=-2.28^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=[(783J/^oC\times -2.28^oC)+(254g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times -2.28^oC)]

q=-4208.28J=-4.81kJ

Therefore, the amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ

The reaction is called chain reaction when
Maru [420]

Answer:

c. it involves a series of steps, each of which generates a reactive intermediate that brings about the next step

Explanation:

A chain reaction consist of many repeating steps. Chain reaction will never stop until all the reactant has been exhausted. It is more of a cycle of reaction that generate a reactive intermediate that brings about the next step.

Example of a chain reaction is the chlorination of methane.

CH4 + Cl2  ↔ CH3Cl + HCl

CH3Cl  + Cl2  ↔ CH2Cl2 + HCl

CH2Cl2 + Cl2  ↔ CHCl3 + HCl

CHCl3 + Cl2  ↔ CCl4 + HCl

Which of the following would NOT diffuse through the plasma membrane by means of simple diffusion?1 oxygen2 glucose3 a steroid h
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Option 2= Glucose

Explanation:

Cell membrane is made up of two phospholipid layers and each contain phosphate head and fatty acid or lipid tails. the head is present between the outer and inner boundaries and tail is present in between. The small non- polar molecules can pass the membrane through simple diffusion. This lipid tail restrict the passage of polar molecules including water soluble substances like glucose. However, transmembranes are present that allow the molecules to inter that are blocked by the tails.

Facilitated diffusion:

it is a type of diffusion in which caries protein without using the cellular energy shuttle the molecules to the cell membrane. Glucose is bind on the carrier protein ,change the shape and transport it from one to another side of membrane. In order to absorb the glucose red blood cells use this kind of diffusion.

Primary active transport:

The cells that are present along small intestine use this type of transport to pump the glucose inside the cell. The primary active transport require energy to transport the glucose inside.

Secondary active transport:

It is another method of transport of glucose into the cell. This method can not use ATP but it is based on concentration gradient of the sodium that provide electro chemical energy for the glucose transport.

What is the pH of a substance with a hydrogen concentration of 1.0 x 10-13?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Favorite Answer

1.0 x10^-14 = (1.0 x 10^-13) (x)

x = 1.0 x 10^-1 = 0.1 M (this is the [OH-])

pOH = -log 0.1 = 1.0

Explanation:

I hope this helps :) sorry if not :(
