Answer: Heat dissipation mechanism
Explanation: Heat dissipation mechanism is a thermoregulatory response in humans whereby the hypothalamus of the brain initiates certain processes to reduce the high body temperature. Eg, sweating is initiated which helps cool down the body temperature, also superficial arteries are dilated, thereby leading to flushing and decreasing heatloss into the air. And metabolic heat production is also reduced.
1 pm = 10∧-10 cm
Therefore, 230 pm is equivalent to 2.3 ×10∧-8 cm.
Atom is in the shape of a sphere,
The volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Thus, volume of the atom = 4/3π( 2.3 ×10∧-8)³
= 4/3 (3.142 ×12.167×10∧-24
= 5.096 ×10∧-23 cm³
but 1m³= 1000000cm³
Therefore, the volume of the atom = 5.096 ×10∧-29 m³
Answer:
they all have the same amount of kinetic energy
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
20.62 Kilo-joules
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- The Enthalpy of combustion of ethyl alcohol is -950 kJ/mol.
- This means that 1 mole of ethyl alcohol evolves a quantity of heat of 950 Joules when burned.
Molar mass of ethyl ethanol = 46.08 g/mol
Therefore;
46.08 g of C₂H₅OH evolves heat equivalent to 950 kilojoules
We can calculate the amount of heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH
Heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH = Molar enthalpy of combustion ÷ Molar mass
= 950 kJ/mol ÷ 46.08 g/mol
= 20.62 Kj/g
Therefore, a gram of C₂H₅OH will evolve 20.62 kilo-joules of heat
