How is science used by a firefighter

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]4 years ago
4 0
Science is applied in all parts of our lives. Firefighters use science by knowing what causes fire and what circumstances are necessary for a fire to occur naturally. for example knowing the chemical composition of hay required in order for it to self ignite on fire helps to take measurements and prevent unwanted fires.

How much energy, in joules, does 150.0 g of water with an initial temperature of 25 C need to absorb be raised to a final temper
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

31395 J

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of water = 150 g

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Final temperature = 75 °C

Energy absorbed = ?

Solution:

Formula:

q = m . c . ΔT

we know that specific heat of water is 4.186 J/g.°C

ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature

ΔT = 75 °C - 25 °C

ΔT = 50 °C

now we will put the values in formula

q = m . c . ΔT

q = 150 g × 4.186 J/g.°C × 50 °C

q = 31395 J

so, 150 g of water need to absorb 31395 J of energy to raise the temperature from 25°C to 75 °C .

What mass of silver oxide, Ag2O is required to produce 25.0 g of silver sulfadiazine, AgC10H9N4SO2, from the reaction of silver
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

8.1107 g

Explanation:

The given reaction:

2C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2+Ag_2O\rightarrow 2AgC_{10}H_9N_4SO_2+H_2O

Given that:

Mass of silver sulfadiazine = 25.0 g

Molar mass of silver sulfadiazine = 357.14 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{25.0\ g}{357.14\ g/mol}

Moles= 0.07\ mol

From the reaction,

2 moles of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1 mole of silver oxide

So,

1 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2 mole of silver oxide

0.07 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2*0.07 mole of silver oxide

Moles of silver oxide = 0.035 moles

Molar mass  of silver oxide = 231.735 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.035 moles * 231.735 g/mol = 8.1107 g

Define energy conservation.
Reil [10]
Energy conservation is the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using less of an energy service. This can be achieved either by using energy more efficiently or by reducing the amount of service used. Energy conservation is a part of the concept of Eco-sufficiency
