Answer: The coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

Explanation: The reaction for the oxidation of methamphentamine with oxygen gas in the body is given by:

4C_{10}H_{15}N(s)+55O_2(g)\rightarrow 40CO_2(g)+30H_2O(l)+2N_2(g)

By Stoichiometry,

4 moles of methamphentamine reacts with 55 moles of oxygen gas to produce 40 moles of carbon dioxide gas, 30 moles of water and 2 moles of nitrogen gas.

Coefficient of C_{10}H_{15}N=4

Coefficient of O_2=55

Coefficient of CO_2=40

Coefficient of H_2O=30

Coefficient of N_2=2

Hence, the coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

Conduction happens as energy flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. Which of the following is evidence of conduction?
Dmitrij [34]

Explanation:

Conduction is a form of heat transfer between one body and another. It usually occurs when a warmer object is in contact with a cooler one. Heat generally flows from a region of high temperature to a place at a lower temperature.

  • Conduction is very pronounced in solid bodies.
  • The heat transfer causes a net transfer of the average kinetic energy of one body to the other.
  • Some examples are: heating of iron by a hotter metallic body, the pot hand getting hotter as cooking continues, cooling of ice by touching it.

What is the molality of a solution of water and KCl if the freezing point of the solution is –3°C? (Kf = 1.86°C/m; molar mass of
Elina [12.6K]
Some of the solutions exhibit colligative properties. These properties depend on the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. These properties include freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure and vapor pressure lowering. Calculations are as follows:

<span> ΔT(freezing point)  = (Kf)mi
3  = 1.86 °C kg / mol (m)(2)
3 =3.72m
m = 0.81 mol/kg</span>

What is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to UV rays of frequency 1.0×1015Hz?
Anvisha [2.4K]
In order to emit electrons, the cesium will have to absorb photons. Each photon will knock out one electron by transferring its energy to the electron. Therefore, by the principle of energy conservation, the energy of the removed electron will be equal to the energy of the incident photon. That energy is calculated using Planck's equation:

E = hf

E = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ * 1 x 10¹⁵
E =  6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joules

The electron will have 6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joules of kinetic energy
