It was a spring morning of April 16, 1947, was a morning that many citizens of Texas City thought was the end of the world. The French Liberty ship, SS Grandcamp, bearing a cargo of ammonium nitrate fertilizer (over 2300 tons) destined for war-torn Europe, caught fire in the Texas City harbor. The bright ... A little after 9.00 a.m., the Texas City Disaster (as it is popularly known) occurred as the ship Grandcamp exploded.

Answer:

It helps the body remove heat through sweating.

Explanation:

When the weather is hot, the body tries to keep cool by sweating. The high specific heat capacity means that the body doesn't have to lose much water to stay cool.

The high specific heat capacity of water doesn’t heat the body, but it slows down the rate of heat loss when the weather is cool.

B is wrong. The body uses glucose, not water, as an energy source.

C is wrong. The high specific heat capacity of water is not connected with the body's ability to store it.

D is wrong. The high specific heat capacity of water doesn't heat the body, but it slows the rate at which it cools.

A sample of gas with an initial volume of 12.5 L at a pressure of 784 torr and a temperature of 295 K is compressed to a volume
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 6.642 atm

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume of gas (V) = 12.5 L

Pressure (P) = 784 torr

Temperature (T) = 295 K

Final volume (V1) = 2.04 L

Final temperature (T1) = 310 K

Find:

Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = ?

Computation:

According to combine gas law method:

\frac{PV}{T} =\frac{P1V1}{T1} \\\\\frac{(784)(12.5)}{295} =\frac{(P1)(2.04)}{310}\\\\33.22 = \frac{(P1)(2.04)}{310}\\\\P1=5,048.18877

⇒ Final pressure (P1) = 5,048.18877 torr

⇒ Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 5,048.18877 torr / 760

⇒ Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 6.642 atm

You are given solutions of hcl and naoh and must determine their concentrations. you use 27.5 ml of naoh to titrate 100.0 ml of
Dafna1 [17]
1) Start by standardizing the solution of NaOH by using the solution of H2SO4 whose concentration is known.

2) Equation:

2Na OH + H2SO4 --> Na2 SO4 + 2H2O

3) molar ratios

2 mol NaOH : 1 mol H2SO4

4) Number of moles of H2SO4 in 50.0 ml of 0.0782 M solution

M = n / V => n = M*V = 0.0782 M * 0.050 l = 0.00391 mol H2SO4

5) Number of moles of NaOH

2 moles NaOH / 1mol H2SO4 * 0.00391 mol H2SO4 = 0.00782 mol NaOH

6) Concentration of the solution of NaOH

M = n / V = 0.00782 mol / 0.0184 ml = 0.425 M

7) Standardize the solution of HCl

Chemical reaction:

NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O

8) Molar ratios

1 mol NaOH : 1 mol HCl

9) Number of moles of NaOH in 27.5 ml

M = n / V => n = M * V = 0.425 M * 0.0275 l = 0.01169 moles NaOH

10) Number of moles of HCl

1 mol HCl / 1mol NaOH * 0.01169 mol NaOH = 0.01169 mol HCl

11) Concentration of the solution of HCl

M = n / V = 0.01169 mol / 0.100 l = 0.1169 M

Rounded to 3 significant figures = 0.117 M

Answers:

[NaOH] = 0.425 M
[HCl] = 0.117 M
