At constant volume, the heat of combustion of a particular compound, compound A, is − 3039.0 kJ / mol. When 1.697 g of compound
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

13.85 kJ/°C

-14.89 kJ/g

Explanation:

<em>At constant volume, the heat of combustion of a particular compound, compound A, is − 3039.0 kJ/mol. When 1.697 g of compound A (molar mass = 101.67 g/mol) is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter (including its contents) rose by 3.661 °C. What is the heat capacity (calorimeter constant) of the calorimeter? </em>

<em />

The heat of combustion of A is − 3039.0 kJ/mol and its molar mass is 101.67 g/mol. The heat released by the combustion of 1.697g of A is:

1.697g.\frac{1mol}{101.67g} .\frac{(-3039.0kJ)}{mol} =-50.72kJ

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is zero.

Qcomb + Qcal = 0

Qcal = -Qcomb = -(-50.72 kJ) = 50.72 kJ

The heat capacity (C) of the calorimeter can be calculated using the following expression.

Qcal = C . ΔT

where,

ΔT is the change in the temperature

Qcal = C . ΔT

50.72 kJ = C . 3.661 °C

C = 13.85 kJ/°C

<em>Suppose a 3.767 g sample of a second compound, compound B, is combusted in the same calorimeter, and the temperature rises from 23.23°C to 27.28 ∘ C. What is the heat of combustion per gram of compound B?</em>

Qcomb = -Qcal = -C . ΔT = - (13.85 kJ/°C) . (27.28°C - 23.23°C) = -56.09 kJ

The heat of combustion per gram of B is:

\frac{-56.09 kJ}{3.767g} =-14.89 kJ/g

What molecule(s) could diffuse across the plasma membrane? question 31 options: disaccharides fe2 tryptophan amino acid ch4
nevsk [136]

The molecule that could diffuse across the plasma membrane is methane (CH4).

<h3>What is diffusion?</h3>

Diffusion is the movement of fluids or substances from regions of high concentration toward regions of lower concentration.

The plasma membrane is the semipermeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell. The semipermeability means that it allows some molecules through but blocks other substances.

The semipermeable plasma membrane readily allows the passage of small hydrophobic and polar molecules.

Therefore, the molecule that could diffuse across the plasma membrane is methane (CH4).

Homework 1
Bond [772]

Answer:

average for silk =141"

average for cotton =96"

average for nylon = 70"

if you desire a slower falling parachute to protect the body from damage,

silk is the best

if you desire a faster falling parachute to escape enemy bullets,

nylon is the best

Explanation:

Homework 1

Problem Solving

1. Kelvin and Xavier were doing an investigation on parachutes. One of them suggested that the type of material the parachute was made from had an effect on how long it took to reach the ground. Their results are given in

The volume of a sample gas, initially at 25 C and 158 mL, increased to 450 mL. What is the final temperature of the sample of ga
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Final temperature of the gas is  576 ^{0}\textrm{C}.

Explanation:

As the amount of gas and pressure of the gas remains constant therefore in accordance with Charles's law:

                                       \frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

where V_{1} and V_{2} are volume of gas at T_{1} and T_{2} temperature (in kelvin scale) respectively.

Here V_{1}=158mL , T_{1}=(273+25)K=298K and V_{2}=450mL

So  T_{2}=\frac{V_{2}T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{(450mL)\times (298K)}{(158mL)}=849K 

849 K = (849-273) ^{0}\textrm{C} = 576 ^{0}\textrm{C}

So final temperature of the gas is  576 ^{0}\textrm{C}.
