Answer: Heat dissipation mechanism

Explanation: Heat dissipation mechanism is a thermoregulatory response in humans whereby the hypothalamus of the brain initiates certain processes to reduce the high body temperature. Eg, sweating is initiated which helps cool down the body temperature, also superficial arteries are dilated, thereby leading to flushing and decreasing heatloss into the air. And metabolic heat production is also reduced.

Answer:

When an electric current is passed through acidified water, it decomposes to give hydrogen and oxygen gas. The hydrogen gas is obtained at the cathode and the oxygen gas is obtained at the anode

An enzyme with molecular weight of 310 kDa undergoes a change in shape when the substrate binds. This change can be characterize

oee [108]

Answer:

(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Explanation:

Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;

s = M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle

s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr

making r sbjct of formula, r = M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs

Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s

r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)

r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂

s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁

making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁

r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035

r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

10.0 g Cu, C Cu = 0.385 J/g°C 10.0 g Al, C Al = 0.903 J/g°C 10.0 g ethanol, Methanol = 2.42 J/g°C 10.0 g H2O, CH2O = 4.18 J/g°C

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Lead shows the greatest temperature change upon absorbing 100.0 J of heat.

Explanation:

$Q=mc\Delte T$

Q = Energy gained or lost by the substance

m = mass of the substance

c = specific heat of the substance

ΔT = change in temperature

1) 10.0 g of copper

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the copper = c = 0.385 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 0.385J/g^oC}=25.97^oC$

2) 10.0 g of aluminium

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the aluminium= c = 0.903 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 0.903 J/g^oC}=11.07^oC$

3) 10.0 g of ethanol

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the ethanol= c = 2.42 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 2.42 J/g^oC}=4.13 ^oC$

4) 10.0 g of water

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the water = c = 4.18J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 4.18 J/g^oC}=2.39 ^oC$

5) 10.0 g of lead

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the lead= c = 0.128 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 0.128 J/g^oC}=78.125^oC$

Lead shows the greatest temperature change upon absorbing 100.0 J of heat.
