The standard International System of Units (SI) unit of mass is the kilogram(kg). The kilogram is 1000 grams (g), first defined in 1795 as one cubic decimeter of water at the melting point of ice.

If a solution has a pOH of 8.71, what is the [H+]?

TEA [102]

Answer: $5.1\times 10^{-6}M$

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH+pOH=14$

Putting in the values:

$pH=14-8.71=5.29$

$5.29=-log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=5.1\times 10^{-6}$

Thus $[H^+]$ is $5.1\times 10^{-6}M$

A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 783 J/oC and contains 254 g of water whose specific heat capacity is 4.184 J/goC. How

IrinaK [193]

Answer : The amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ

Explanation :

Heat released by the reaction = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter + Heat absorbed by the water

$q=[q_1+q_2]$

$q=[c_1\times \Delta T+m_2\times c_2\times \Delta T]$

where,

q = heat released by the reaction

$q_1$ = heat absorbed by the calorimeter

$q_2$ = heat absorbed by the water

$c_1$ = specific heat of calorimeter = $783J/^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.184J/g^oC$

$m_2$ = mass of water = 254 g

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=(23.73-26.01)=-2.28^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=[(783J/^oC\times -2.28^oC)+(254g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times -2.28^oC)]$

$q=-4208.28J=-4.81kJ$

Therefore, the amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ

When chemical, transport, or mechanical work is done by an organism, what happens to the heat generated?

dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

The heat generated when chemical, transport, or mechanical work is done by the organism is lost to the environment.

The the matter from one organism to the other is transferred via energy. The producer's produce and consumer's consume this energy according to 10% law. Most of the energy is lost (90% ) to the environment in form of heat.

Why ozone is important to organic chemistry

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Ozone is good in the stratosphere because it absorbs all of the most energetic ultraviolet radiation (UV-C), most of the UV-B radiation and some of the least energetic UV radiation (UV-A). Ozone is “bad” in the troposphere because it is harmful to breathe and is the primary component of smog in summer.
