Answer:

49.5J/°C

Explanation:

The hot water lost some energy that is gained for cold water and the calorimeter.

The equation is:

Q(Hot water) = Q(Cold water) + Q(Calorimeter)

<em>Where:</em>

Q(Hot water) = S*m*ΔT = 4.184J/g°C*54.56g*(80.4°C-59.4°C) = 4794J

Q(Cold water) = S*m*ΔT = 4.184J/g°C*47.24g*(59.4°C-40°C) = 3834J

That means the heat gained by the calorimeter is

Q(Calorimeter) = 4794J - 3834J = 960J

The calorimeter constant is the heat gained per °C. The change in temperature of the calorimeter is:

59.4°C-40°C = 19.4°C

And calorimeter constant is:

960J/19.4°C =

<h3>49.5J/°C</h3>

In which of the following equilibrium systems will an increase in the volume cause the equilibrium to shift away from the reacta
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: 2NOBr(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Br2(g)

Explanation: For volume changes in equillibrium, the following are to be taken into consideration:

  • Volume changes have no effect on equillibrium system that contains solid or aqueous solutions.
  • An increase in volume of an equilibrium system will shift to favor the direction that produces more moles of gas.
  • A decrease in volume of an equilibrium system will shift to favor the direction that produces less moles of gas.
  • Volume changes will have no effect on the equillibrium system if there is an equal number of moles on both sides of the reaction.

2NOBr(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Br2(g) is the equillibrium system because there are more moles of products,therefore an increase in the volume of the reaction will shift to the right and produce more moles of products. Also both reactants and products exist in the gaseous state and does not have equal number of moles.

If you mix water with your urine drug test will you pass
masya89 [10]
<span>A "dilute specimen" is a urine sample that has a higher than average water ... even if the drug is detected, it will not be marked as a positive result because ... Powdered urine can be purchased online in packets, and then mixed with water to form urine. ... so they would report your test as negative andyou'd get hired anyway.</span><span>
