The correct subscript for the reaction would be two. Oxygen gas exists as a diatomic molecule in nature. Also, the subscript two would balance the reaction. In balancing reactions, it is important that the atoms on each side of the reaction is equal.

Calculate the heat absorbed by a sample of water that has a mass of 45.00 g when the temperature increases from 21.0oC to 38.5 o
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The heat absorbed by the sample of water is 3,294.9 J

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

The sensible heat of a body is the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change of physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous). Its mathematical expression is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case:

  • Q=?
  • m= 45 g
  • c= 4.184 \frac{J}{g*C}
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 38.5 C - 21 C= 17.5 C

Replacing:

Q= 4.184 \frac{J}{g*C} * 45 g* 17.5 C

Solving:

Q=3,294.9 J

<u><em>The heat absorbed by the sample of water is 3,294.9 J</em></u>

A human red blood cell is about 0.000008 meters in diameter which of the following represents this number in scientific notation
lukranit [14]

<u>Given:</u>

Diameter of a red blood cell = 0.000008

<u>To determine:</u>

The scientific notation corresponding to the given number

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientific notation is a concise way of representing a very large or small number. It is written in two parts:

Given Number = Digits * Power of 10

In this case we have:

0.000008 = 8.0 * 10⁻⁶

When a 1.00 L sample of water from the surface of the Dead Sea (which is more than 400 meters below sea level and much saltier t
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Molarity of MgCl_2 in the original sample was 1.96M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{\text{no of moles}}{\text{Volume in L}}

{\text {moles of solute}=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{186g}{95g/mol}=1.96

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

Molarity=\frac{1.96}{1.00L}

Molarity=1.96mol/L

Thus molarity of MgCl_2 in the original sample was 1.96M

compare the boiling point of water at sea leavel to the boiling point in denver (altitude = 1 mile) Explain
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

boiling point decreases in denver

Explanation:

in higher places

theres less atmospheric pressure

it takes less energy to bring water to the boiling point.

Less energy means less heat

which means water will boil at a lower temperature
