Answer:

11.45kcal/g

2.612 × 10³ kcal

Explanation:

When a compound burns (combustion) it produces carbon dioxide and water. The combustion of 2-methylheptane can be represented by the following balanced equation:

2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ⇄ 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O

It releases  1.306 × 10³ kcal every 1 mol of C₈H₁₈ that is burned.

<em>What is the heat of combustion for 2-methylheptane in kcal/gram?</em>

We know that the molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.0g/mol. Then, using proportions:

\frac{1.306 \times 10^{3}Kcal}{1mol} .\frac{1mol}{114.0g} =11.45kcal/g

<em>How much heat will be given off if molar quantities of 2-methylheptane react according to the following equation? 2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ⇄ 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O</em>

In this equation we have 2 moles of C₈H₁₈. So,

2mol \times\frac{1.306 \times 10^{3}kcal }{1mol} =2.612\times 10^{3}kcal

Calculate the mass of nitrogen dissolved at room temperature in an 95.0 LL home aquarium. Assume a total pressure of 1.0 atmatm
harina [27]

Answer:

86.3 g  of N₂ are in the room

Explanation:

First of all we need the pressure from the N₂ in order to apply the Ideal Gases Law and determine, the moles of gas that are contained in the room.

We apply the mole fraction:

Mole fraction N₂ = N₂ pressure / Total pressure

0.78 . 1 atm = 0.78 atm → N₂ pressure

Room temperature → 20°C → 20°C + 273 = 293K

Let's replace data: 0.78 atm . 95L = n . 0.082 . 293K

(0.78 atm . 95L) /0.082 . 293K = n

3.08 moles = n

Let's convert the moles to mass → 3.08 mol . 28g /1mol = 86.3 g

What sort of evidence would support at least one of the components of the
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

(not sure) The origin of all cells observed can be traced to previous cells

Explanation:

- not all cells convert energy (?) (this I'm not sure but think so? might be wrong tho)

- not all cells have cell walls e.g. animal cells only have the cell membrane, no cell wall

- Rocks and other nonliving things are composed of cells: non living things are composed of the elements and not cells (unless they were previously alive, then they contain dead cells)

2. When two forces act on an object in opposite directions, you calculate the net
exis [7]

When two forces act on an object in opposite directions, the net  force can be calculated by subtracting the two forces.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The net/final force by subtracting the two given opposite forces as asked in the above question.

For example: If you keep a bottle on the table, the downward force subtracted from the upward force will be equal to the net force.

  • If the net force equals zero then the objects will be balanced, otherwise unbalanced.

For example: In the tug of war when two forces are of different units the force with the greater strength will have an advantage, like if the team on the right is stronger than that of left than the rope will move towards the right.
