When 21.45 g of KNO3 was dissolved in water in a calorimeter, the temperature fell from 25.00°C to 14.14 °C. If the heat capacit

y is 0.505KJ/°C, what will be the delta H for the solution process.

25.9 kJ/mol. (3 sig. fig. as in the heat capacity.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The process:

\text{KNO}_3\;(s) \to \text{KNO}_3\;(aq).

How many moles of this process?

Relative atomic mass from a modern periodic table:

  • K: 39.098;
  • N: 14.007;
  • O: 15.999.

Molar mass of \text{KNO}_3:

M(\text{KNO}_3) = 39.098 + 14.007 + 3\times 15.999 = 101.102\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

Number of moles of the process = Number of moles of \text{KNO}_3 dissolved:

\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{21.45}{101.102} = 0.212162\;\text{mol}.

What's the enthalpy change of this process?

Q = C\cdot \Delta T = 0.505 \times (25.00 - 14.14) = 5.4843\;\text{kJ} for 0.212162\;\text{mol}. By convention, the enthalpy change \Delta H measures the energy change for each mole of a process.

\displaystyle \Delta H = \frac{Q}{n} = \frac{5.4843\text{kJ}}{0.212162\;\text{mol}} = 25.8\;\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

The heat capacity is the least accurate number in these calculation. It comes with three significant figures. As a result, round the final result to three significant figures. However, make sure you keep at least one additional figure to minimize the risk of rounding errors during the calculation.

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.
