Fugu, also known as puffer fish, is a sushi delicacy that can also be lethal. Puffer fish contain a powerful toxin that can kill

an adult a few hours after ingestion. Sushi chefs who prepare fugu must be specially trained because any contamination of the toxin-free areas of the fish can be deadly. Recently this toxin has been put to good use, as scientists have discovered that a purified form of it can treat severe pain in cancer patients. This recent scientific discovery would fall under which area of chemistry?

Calculate the percent dissociation of crotonic acid (C,H,CO,H) in a 0.63 mM aqueous solution of the stuff.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

16%

Explanation:

Crotonic acid : C₃H₅CO₂H

C₃H₅CO₂H  ⇄ C₃H₅CO₂⁻ +  H⁺

   C                      O                O

where : C = C ( 1 - ∝ ) ,   O = C∝

also:  Ka = C∝² / ( 1 - ∝ )  ---- ( 1 )

<em>From Alexa data resource : </em>

Pka = 4.69 ,  [  Ka = 2.04 * 10^-5 = C∝² / ( 1 - ∝ ) ]

back to equation 1

2.04 * 10^-5 = [ ( 0.63 * 10^-3 ) * ∝² / ( 1 - ∝ ) ]  ----- ( 2 )

∴ ∝² / ( 1 - ∝ ) = 3.24 * 10⁻²

Resolving equation above

∝ = 0.1645 =  16.45%

The heat released by one mole of sugar from a bomb calorimeter experiment is 5648 kJ/mol. The balanced chemical reaction equatio
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter C) 5648 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Data

                C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁  +  12 O₂  ⇒   12 CO₂  +  11 H₂O

H° C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ = -2221.8 kJ/mol

H° O₂ = 0 kJ / mol

H° CO₂ = -393.5 kJ/mol

H° H₂O = -285.8 kJ/mol

Formula

ΔH° = ∑H° products - ∑H° reactants

Substitution

ΔH° = 12(-393.5) + 11(-285.8) - (-2221.8) - (0)

ΔH° = -4722 - 3143.8 + 2221.8

Result

ΔH° = -5644 kJ/mol

A metal pellet with a mass of 100.0 g, originally at 116°C, is dropped into a cup of water, initially at
Alina [70]

Answer:

C, 42g

Explanation:

In thermal equilibrium, both bodies (metal pellet and water) both have the same final temperature (46.3°C).

Assuming no heat is lost to surroundings,

the energy lost from metal pellet = energy gained for water

Since E = mc∆T

(energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change)

mc∆T (metal pellet) = mc∆T (water)

100 x 0.568 x (116-46.3) = m 4.184 (46.3 - 23.8)

3958.96 = 94.14m

m = 42g
