Metabolic activity in the human body releases approximately 1.0 x 104kJ of heat per day. Assuming the body is 50 kg of water, ho
1 answer:
Answer:
The body temperature would rise by 47.85 °C
The amount of water the body evaporates is 4.15 kg.
This makes sense because firstly the value obtained is positive then secondly it is a normal occurrence in the real world that in a place where the temperature is high the body usually produce sweat in order to balance its internal temperature
Explanation:
Considering the relationship (between the heat released and the mass of the object) as shown below
q = msΔT
where q is the heat released per day =
m is the mass of the body = 50 kg
ΔT is the temperature rise = ?
s is the specific heat of water =
substituting values we have
=
ΔT
ΔT =
= 47.85°C
To maintain the normal body temperature (98.6F = 37°C) the amount of heat released by metabolism activity must be utilized for evaporation of some amount of water
Hence
Note (1 kg = 1000 g)
This makes sense because firstly the value obtained is positive then secondly it is a normal occurrence in the real world that in a place where the temperature is high the body usually produce sweat in order to balance its internal temperature

Answer:
1.3×10⁻³ M
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the dissociation reaction of acetic acid:
We can write the law of mass action for it:
Of course, excluding the water as heterogeneous substances are not included. Then, in terms of the change due to the dissociation extent, we are able to rewrite it as shown below:
Thus, via the quadratic equation or solve, we obtain the following solutions:
Obviously, the solution is 0.00133M which match with the hydronium concentration, thus, answer is: 1.3×10⁻³ M in scientific notation.

Answer:
1. Na₂O
2. AlF₃
3. MgO
4. Ca₃P₂
Explanation:
1. Na⁺ and O²⁻
An ionic compound will be formed when two ions of opposite charge attract each other.
The positive ion is called cation and the negative ion is called anion.
Thus, every ionic compound has a cation and an anion electrostatically bonded.
The ions must combine in a proportion that genders a neutral compound: so you must have as many cations as negative charge has one anion and as many anions as positive charge has one cation.
This is, if the cation has charge +x, there will be x anions, and if the anion has charge -y, there will be y cations.
Simbolically:
As you see, the subscripts for each element in the chemical formula are obtained by the exchage of the charges of the ions.
Then, for Na⁺ and O²⁻, the subscript for Na will be 2 and the subscript for O will be 1; and the formula of the ionic compound formed by this pair ot ions is:
- Na₂O
2. Al³⁺ and F⁻
- The subscript of Al will be 1 (because the F ion has charge 1-, and the subscript of F will be 3 (because the Al ion has charge +3).
Thus the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:
- AlF₃
3. Mg²⁺ and S²⁻
- The charge 2+ from Mg atom wil become the subscript 2 of S atom, and the charge 2- will become the subscript 2 of Mg atom:
That results in the formula: Mg₂S₂
Except for some special compounds, the chemical formula is simplified, dividing by the least common denominator. In this case, that means that the two 2 subscripts are simplified to 1, and the final chemical formula for the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:
- MgO
4. Ca²⁺ and P³⁻
- The charge 2+ from Ca will become subscript 2 for P and the charge 3- whill become subscript 3 for Ca.
Hence, the ionic compound formed by these two ions is:
- Ca₃P₂
