Answer:

The purpose of respiration is to supply the body with oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide. Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration as cells cannot exist in the absence of it. The human lungs are the organs responsible for respiration.

Explanation:

Respiration refers to a person’s breathing and the movement of air into and out of the lungs. The respiratory system provides oxygen to body tissues for cellular respiration, removes the waste product carbon dioxide, and helps maintain acid–base balance. Inspiration is the process that causes air to enter the lungs, and expiration is the process that causes air to leave the lungs . A respiratory cycle (or one breath while you are measuring respiratory rate) is one sequence of inspiration and expiration.

What is the molarity of formaldehyde in a solution containing 0.25 grams of formaldehyde per mL?

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

8.33mol/L

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the molar mass of of formaldehyde (CH2O). This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CH2O = 12 + (2x1) + 16 = 12 + 2 + 16 = 30g/mol

Mass of CH2O from the question = 0.25g

Number of mole CH2O =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of CH2O = 0.25/30 = 8.33x10^-3mole

Now we can calculate the molarity of formaldehyde (CH2O) as follow:

Number of mole of CH2O = 8.33x10^-3mole

Volume = 1mL

Converting 1mL to L, we have:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore 1mL = 1/1000 = 1x10^-3L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity = 8.33x10^-3mole/1x10^-3L

Molarity = 8.33mol/L

Therefore, the molarity of formaldehyde (CH2O) is 8.33mol/L

A 50.00 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 45.00°C. It is then placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter filled with water. The

V125BC [204]

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, the specific heat of metal is 0.165 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ .

<h3>Definition of calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where:

Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m.
C is the specific heat substance.
ΔT is the temperature variation.

<h3>Specific heat capacity of the metal</h3>

In this case, you know:

For metal:

Mass of metal = 50 g
Initial temperature of metal= 45 °C
Final temperature of metal= 11.08 ºC
Specific heat of metal= ?

For water:

Mass of water = 250 g
Initial temperature of water= 10 ºC
Final temperature of water= 11.08 ºC
Specific heat of water = 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$

Replacing in the expression to calculate heat exchanges:

For metal: Qmetal= Specific heat of metal× 50 g× (11.08 C - 45 C)

For water: Qwater= 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ × 250 g× (11.08 C - 10 C)

If two isolated bodies or systems exchange energy in the form of heat, the quantity received by one of them is equal to the quantity transferred by the other body. That is, the total energy exchanged remains constant, it is conserved.

Then, the heat that the gold gives up will be equal to the heat that the water receives. Therefore:

- Qmetal = + Qwater

- Specific heat of metal× 50 g× (11.08 C - 45 C)= 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ × 250 g× (11.08 C - 10 C)

Solving:

- Specific heat of metal× 50 g× (-33.92 C)= 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ × 250 g× 1.08 C

Specific heat of metal× 1696 g×C= 279.45 cal

Specific heat of metal= $\frac{279.45 cal}{1696 gC}$
