Some organisms, up to 90% of their body weight comes from water. <span> 60% of the human adult body is water. </span>The brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water.

Hope this helps!!

Determine the freezing point and boiling point of a solution that has 68.4 g of sucrose

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Freezing T° of solution = - 3.72°C

Boiling T° of solution = 101.02°C

Explanation:

To solve this we apply colligative properties. Firstly, freezing point depression:

ΔT = Kf . m . i

ΔT = Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant, for water is 1.86 °C/m

m = molality (moles of solute in 1kg of solvent)

i = Ions dissolved in solution

Our solute is sucrose, an organic compound so no ions are defined. i = 1.

Let's determine the moles: 68.4 g . 1mol/ 342g = 0.2 moles

molality = 0.2 mol / 0.1kg of water = 2 m

We replace data: ΔT = 1.86°C/m . 2m . 1

Freezing T° of solution = - 3.72°C

Now, we apply elevation of boiling point: ΔT = Kb . m . i

ΔT = Boiling T° of solution - Boiling T° of pure solvent

Kf = Ebulloscopic constant, for water is 0.512 °C/m

We replace:

Boiling T° of solution - Boiling T° of pure solvent = 0.512 °C/m . 2 . 1

Boiling T° of solution = 0.512 °C/m . 2 . 1 + 100°C → 101.02°C

The combustion of 1.5011.501 g of fructose, C6H12O6(s)C6H12O6(s) , in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 5.205.20 kJ/°C

avanturin [10]

Answer : The internal energy change is -2805.8 kJ/mol

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter.

$q=c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

q = heat gained = ?

c = specific heat = $5.20kJ/^oC$

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $27.43^oC$

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $22.93^oC$

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

$q=5.20kJ/^oC\times (27.43-22.93)^oC$

$q=23.4kJ$

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change during the reaction.

$\Delta H=-\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat gained = 23.4 kJ

n = number of moles fructose = $\frac{\text{Mass of fructose}}{\text{Molar mass of fructose}}=\frac{1.501g}{180g/mol}=0.00834mole$

$\Delta H=-\frac{23.4kJ}{0.00834mole}=-2805.8kJ/mole$

Therefore, the enthalpy change during the reaction is -2805.8 kJ/mole

Now we have to calculate the internal energy change for the combustion of 1.501 g of fructose.

Formula used :

$\Delta H=\Delta U+\Delta n_gRT$

or,

$\Delta U=\Delta H-\Delta n_gRT$

where,

$\Delta H$ = change in enthalpy = $-2805.8kJ/mol$

$\Delta U$ = change in internal energy = ?

$\Delta n_g$ = change in moles = 0 (from the reaction)

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature = $27.43^oC=273+27.43=300.43K$

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

$\Delta U=\Delta H-\Delta n_gRT$

$\Delta U=(-2805.8kJ/mol)-[0mol\times 8.314J/mol.K\times 300.43K$

$\Delta U=-2805.8kJ/mol-0$

$\Delta U=-2805.8kJ/mol$

Therefore, the internal energy change is -2805.8 kJ/mol

HELP ME WITH ONE OR BOTH OF THESE QUEATIONS PLEASEEEE

marta [7]

Answer:

2. 181.25 K.

3. 0.04 atm.

Explanation:

2. Determination of the temperature.

Number of mole (n) = 2.1 moles

Pressure (P) = 1.25 atm

Volume (V) = 25 L

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Temperature (T) =?

The temperature can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as illustrated below:

PV = nRT

1.25 × 25 = 2.1 × 0.0821 × T

31.25 = 0.17241 × T

Divide both side by 0.17241

T = 31.25 / 0.17241

T = 181.25 K

Thus, the temperature is 181.25 K.

3. Determination of the pressure.

Number of mole (n) = 10 moles

Volume (V) = 5000 L

Temperature (T) = –10 °C = –10 °C + 273 = 263 K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Pressure (P) =?

The pressure can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as illustrated below:

PV = nRT

P × 5000 = 10 × 0.0821 × 263

P × 5000 = 215.923

Divide both side by 5000

P = 215.923 / 5000

P = 0.04 atm

Thus, the pressure is 0.04 atm
