Answer:

1000 Calories/kilocalorie/large calorie/food calorie

Explanation:

kcal

K comes form the Greek kilo and is the SI prefix for 1000

cal means calorie

so kcal or kilocalorie or large calorie or food calorie

The large calorie, food calorie, or kilocalorie (Cal, calorie or kcal) is the amount of heat needed to cause a one degree Celsius temperature increase in a kilogram of water.

The solubility of CO2 in water is 0.161 g/100 mL at 20oC and a partial pressure of CO2 of 760 mmHg. What partial pressure of CO2

Schach [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of carbon dioxide having solubility 0.886g/100mL is 4182.4 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

The equation given by Henry's law is:

$C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{CO_2}$ ......(1)

where,

$C_{CO_2$ = solubility of carbon dioxide in water = 0.161 g/100 mL

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = ?

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 760 mmHg

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$760mmHg=K_H\times 0.161g/100mL\\\\K_H=\frac{760mmHg}{0.161g/100mL}=4720.5g.mmHg/100mL$

Now, calculating the pressure of carbon dioxide using equation 1, we get:

$C_{CO_2$ = solubility of carbon dioxide in water = 0.886 g/100 mL

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = 4720.5 g.mmHg/100 mL

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = ?

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$p_{CO_2}=4720.5g.mmHg/100mL\times 0.886g/100mL=4182.4mmHg$

Hence, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide having solubility 0.886g/100mL is 4182.4 mmHg

Why are metals malleable,ductile,and good conductors

9966 [12]

The energy is transferred throughout the rest of the metal by the moving electrons. Metals are described as
malleable (can be beaten into sheets) and ductile (can be pulled out into wires). This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.

How is an oxidation half-reaction written using the reduction potential chart? How is the oxidation potential voltage determined

insens350 [35]

Oxidation half reaction is written as follows when using using reduction potential chart
example when using copper it is written as follows
CU2+ +2e- --> c(s) +0.34v
oxidasation is the loos of electron hence copper oxidation potential is as follows
cu (s) --> CU2+ +2e -0.34v

In order for a process to be spontaneous, Multiple Choice the entropy of the surroundings must increase. the entropy of the surr

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is entropy change of the surrounding plus the entropy change of the system must be positive.

Explanation:

The term entropy is a state function.Entropy can be defined as the disorder or randomness of the molecules in a system.

A spontaneous reaction is a type of reaction which deals with the release of free energy.The change of free energy in case of spontaneous reaction is always negative.

According to the second law of thermodynamics a spontaneous reaction will occur in a system if the total entropy of both system and surrounding increases during the reaction.
