Answer:

-5.51 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the heat required to heat the water.

We use the following expression.

Q = c \times m \times \Delta T

where,

  • c: specific heat capacity
  • m: mass
  • ΔT: change in the temperature

The average density of water is 1 g/mL, so 75.0 mL ≅ 75.0 g.

Q = 4.184J/g.\°C \times 75.0g \times (95.00\°C - 25.00\°C) = 2.20 \times 10^{3} J = 2.20 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the heat released by the methane

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion of methane (Qc) and the heat absorbed by the water (Qw) is zero

Qc + Qw = 0

Qc = -Qw = -22.0 kJ

Step 3: Calculate the molar heat of combustion of methane.

The molar mass of methane is 16.04 g/mol. We use this data to find the molar heat of combustion of methane, considering that 22.0 kJ are released by the combustion of 64.00 g of methane.

\frac{-22.0kJ}{64.00g} \times \frac{16.04g}{mol} = -5.51 kJ/mol

I believe it to be C

Explanation: The concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere is currently at nearly 412 parts per million (ppm) and rising. This represents a 47 percent increase since the beginning of the Industrial Age, when the concentration was near 280 ppm, and an 11 percent increase since 2000, when it was near 370 ppm.

The lock-and-key mechanism refers to
miskamm [114]

Answer:

A). The complementary shapes of an enzyme and a substrate.

Explanation:

The Lock-and-key mechanism was proposed by Emil Fischer for the first time and characterized as the metaphor which helps in elucidating the specificity of the enzymatic reactions. In this metaphor, the lock is described as the enzyme while 'key' is characterized as the substrate which the enzyme acts upon. If the key is not appropriately sized, it will not fit into the active site i.e. the keyhole of the lock or enzyme and reaction will not take place. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

marysya [2.9K]
A strong acid- strong base titration is performed using a phenolphthalein indicator. Phenolphtalein is chosen because it changes color in a pH range between 8.3 – 10. It will appear pink in basic solutions and clear in acidic solutions. ... It is known as the titrant.
