Answer:

the protein capsid of naked viruses is less susceptible to environmental . condition

Explanation:

because the envelop is made in part of phospholipids. once the envelop is lysed ,the virus loses its functiovnal receptors and still able to infect susceptible cells.

How much heat (kJ) is absorbed by 229.1 g of water in order for the temperature to increase from 25.00∘C to 32.50∘C?

hammer [34]

Answer:

(Q1) 9.42 kJ.

(Q2) 1.999 kJ

Explanation:

Heat: This is a form of Energy that brings about the sensation of warmth.

The S.I unit of Heat is Joules (J).

The heat of a body depend on the mass of the body, specific heat capacity, and temperature difference. as shown below

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) ........................ Equation 1

(Q1)

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)

Where Q = amount of heat absorbed, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.

Given: m = 229.1 g = 0.2991 kg, t₁ = 25.0 °C, 32.50 °C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substituting into equation 1

Q = 0.2991×4200(32.5-25)

Q = 1256.22(7.5)

Q = 9421.65 J

Q = 9.42 kJ.

Hence the heat absorbed = 9.42 kJ

(Q2)

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)

Where Q = amount of heat required, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.

Given: m = 34 g = 0.034 kg, t₁ = 9 °C, t₂ = 23 °C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Q = 0.034×4200(23-9)

Q = 142.8(14)

Q = 1999.2 J

Q = 1.999 kJ.

Thus the Heat required = 1.999 kJ

Elements in the same group/family of the periodic table are similar in what way?

Jlenok [28]

Elements in the same group in the periodic table have similar chemical properties. This is because their atoms have the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level. Group 1 elements are reactive metals called the alkali metals.Group 0 elements are unreactive non-metals called the noble gases.

What is the mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882

Explanation:

We are given that

Aqueous solution that contains 22.9% NaOH by mass means

22.9 g NaOH in 100 g solution.

Mass of NaOH(WB)=22.9 g

Mass of water =100-22.9=77.1

Na=23

O=16

H=1.01

Molar mass of NaOH(MB)=23+16+1.01=40.01

Number of moles = $\frac{Given\;mass}{Molar\;mass}$

Using the formula

Number of moles of NaOH $(n_B)=\frac{W_B}{M_B}=\frac{22.9}{40.01}$

$n_B=0.572moles$

Molar mass of water=16+2(1.01)=18.02g

Number of moles of water $(n_A)=\frac{77.1}{18.02}$

$n_A=4.279 moles$

Now, mole fraction of NaOH

= $\frac{n_B}{n_B+n_A}$

$=\frac{4.279}{0.572+4.279}$

=0.882

Hence, the mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882

Summarize the relationship between volume, temperature and pressure (use words like “inversely

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

P and V: inversely proportional

P and T: directly proportional

V and T: inversely proportional

Explanation:

For pressure and volume, as the volume goes up, meaning the container gets bigger, the pressure would go down. There would be more room in the container, so there would be less collisions between the molecules themselves and between the molecules and the container. This makes them inversely proportional.

For pressure and temperature, as the pressure goes up, there are more collisions, so the particles move faster. Temperature is the speed of the particles, so, since both pressure and temperature would go up at the same time, they are directly proportional.

For volume and temperature, this is similar to the PV relationship. As volume increases, there are less collisions between the particles. This means that the particles are going to move slower. Therefore, as volume goes up, temperature goes down, so they are inversely proportional.

Sorry this is super long, but I hope it fully explains the question for you! ☺
