Answer:

0.296j/g⁰c

Explanation:

we have the following information from this question before us.

mass iv substance = 50grams

we have initial temperature ti = 20.2⁰c

final temperature = 125⁰c

the energy that was provided = 155kj

we proceed with this formula

energy = mcΔT

1.55x10³ = 50 x c x (125-20.2)

1.55x10³ = c x 50gm x 104.8k

we divide through to get c

c = 1.55x10³/50g x 104.8

c = 0.296J/g⁰c

that is the specific heat of this substance.

thank you!

Should someone who lives on the sixth floor of an apartment building be concerned about radon in his or her apartment? Why or wh
torisob [31]

Answer:

The person should not be concerned about radon.

Explanation:

<em>A person living on the sixth floor of an aparment probably should not be concerned about radon</em>. In the conditions of the Earth's atmosphere (temperature and pressure), radon exists as a gas. This gas has a density that is approximately 8 times higher than the density of air (9.73 g/L compared to 1.22 g/L). <em>This means that radon gas would not rise, and instead remain close to the ground</em>, meaning that an apartment on a sixth floor is too far away from the ground for radon gas to reach there.

A gas being denser than air is also the reason why if you blow into a balloon, it will fall to the ground, because CO₂ is denser than air.

Tamoxifen is a drug used to prevent recurrence of certain types of breast cancers that require estrogen to grow. Tamoxifen binds
fredd [130]

Answer:

Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

In order to binds to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, tamoxifen have to compete with the other chemical compound, and inhibits the estrogen release, so it is a competitive inhibitor. Then, you said that when tamoxifen binds to the receptor,  the protein is permanently deactivated, so it is also irreversible.

42.9 liters of hydrogen are collected over water at 76.0 °C and has a pressure of 294 kPa. What would the pressure (in kPa) of t
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

494.1 kPa

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation;

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (kPa)

P2 = final pressure (kPa)

V1 = initial volume (L)

V2 = final volume (L)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question,

P1 = 294 kPa

P2 = ?

V1 = 42.9 liters

V2 = 22.8 liters

T1 = 76.0°C = 76 + 273 = 349K

T2 = 38.7°C = 38.7 + 273 = 311.7K

294 × 42.9/349 = P2 × 22.8/311.7

12612.6/349 = 22.8 P2/311.7

36.14 = 22.8P2/311.7

Cross multiply

36.14 × 311.7 = 22.8P2

11264.605 = 22.8P2

P2 = 11264.605 ÷ 22.8

P2 = 494.1 kPa
