Cryogenics has the potential to be useful in a variety of fields, including medicine. Suppose you have engineered a method to su

ccessfully deep-freeze and thaw human organs using liquid nitrogen without any freezing damage to the cells and tissue structure. How much heat must be removed from a liver (1.5 kg) to drop its temperature from 310 K to 180 K and freeze the tissue? For liquids and solids, heat capacity at constant pressure, Cp, is approximately equal to heat capacity at constant volume, Cv.

Explanation:

It is known that the specific heat capacity of Liver (C_{p}) is 3.59 kJ kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

It is given that :

Initial temperature of Liver = Body temperature = 37^{o}C = 310 K

Final temperature of Liver = 180 K

Relation between heat energy, mass, and change in temperature is as follows.

                        Q = m \times C_{p} \times \Delta T

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                    Q = m \times C_{p} \times \Delta T

                    Q = 1.5 kg \times 3.59 kJ/kg.K \times (310 - 180) K

                         =  700.05 kJ

Therefore, we can conclude that amount of heat which must be removed from the liver is 700.05 kJ.

Someone please help! I will give Brainliest to who answers the best! Write an explanation of how mass determines (or affects) th
xxTIMURxx [149]
Gravity is the force of motion pulling down objects to the ground. If there was no gravity, everyone would walking as if they were on the moon.


Mass is what gravity needs. If an object has a little amount of mass, gravity will be able to easily bring it to the ground.


If an object has a very huge amount of mass, gravity will still be able to bring it to the ground but it will be hard.


For example: An airplane has a HUGE amount of mass. Gravity pulls it down but the airplane needs to be steering up in order for it to be straight. Gravity is applied on the airplane when it is landing.

BUT..... if a table is in the way of an object it depends if it will fall down to the ground or stay on the table.

If an object has little mass and a table is in the way of gravity pulling it down to the ground, the object will stay on the table. Like a plate of food on a table.

If an object has a very big amount of mass and a table is in the way of gravity pulling it to the ground, the object will break the object and make it's make to the ground. That is mostly why most of the time people have very strong tables/ anything to hold a heavy object.  


Another example is if you're lifting weights and you have little amount of mass, you're most likely to get the little sized weight. It depend on you mass.


Here are some pictures I included here as well of Mass and gravity.

Glad to help! :) :D

Which one of the following groups of chemical compounds is composed entirely of organic compounds?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Organic compounds are chemical compounds which usually contains one or more atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sometimes nitrogen or sulphur. Carbon and hydrogen are the main element that is contained in most organic compounds.

Option A is wrong because calcium phosphate is not an organic compound, although all the other compounds in the option are organic compounds.

Option B is wrong because calcium chloride is not an organic compound

Option C is wrong also as calcium sulphate is not an organic compound

Option D is correct as all are organic compounds
