Answer:

31.9 °C  

Explanation:

The formula for the heat q absorbed by an object is

q = mCΔT where ΔT = (T₂ - T₁)

Data:

q = 12.35 cal

m = 19.75 g

C = 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹

T₂ = 37.0 °C

Calculations

(a) Calculate ΔT

q = mCΔT

12.35 cal = 19.25 g × 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × ΔT

12.35 = 2.406ΔT °C⁻¹  

ΔT  = 12.35/(2.406 °C⁻¹) = 5.13 °C

(b) Calculate T₂

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₁ = T₂ - ΔT = 37.0 °C - 5.13 °C = 31.9 °C

The original temperature was 31.9 °C.

List a possible set of four quantum numbers (n,l,ml,ms) in order, for the highest energy electron in gallium?
Elena-2011 [213]
Gallum: Z = 31

electron configuration: [Ar] 4s^2 3d10 4s2 4p1

Highest energy electron: 4p1

Quantum numbers:

n = 4, because it is the shell number
l = 1, it corresponds to type p orbital 
ml = may be -1, or 0, or +1, depending on space orientation, they correspond to px, py, pz
ms = may be -1/2 or +1/2, this is the spin number.

Assume the recommended single dose of an antihistamine for a child weighing between 18-23 lbs is 0.75 teaspoons (tsp). if 1.00 t
blagie [28]

We are given that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL, therefore 0.75 teaspoon is:

0.75 teaspoon * (5 mL / 1 teaspoon) = 3.75 mL

 

So the mass is density times volume:

mass = (12.5 mg/5 ml) * 3.75 mL

<span>mass = 9.375 mg</span>

50 POINTS!!!! Please Help I'm being timed and this would help so much! 50 POINTS!!!!
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

[H⁺] = 1.0 x 10⁻¹² M.

Explanation:

∵ [H⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

[OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻² mol/L.

∴ [H⁺] =  10⁻¹⁴/[OH⁻] = (10⁻¹⁴)/(1 x 10⁻² mol/L) = 1.0 x 10⁻¹² M.

∵ pH = - log[H⁺] = - log(1.0 x 10⁻¹² M) = 12.0.

∴ The solution is basic, since pH id higher than 7 and also the  [OH⁻] > [H⁺].

I think- IDK
