Complete combustion of a 0.350 g sample of a compound in a bomb calorimeter releases 14.0 kJ of heat. The bomb calorimeter has a
dexar [7]

Answer:

Its final temperature is 25.8 °C

Explanation:

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

There is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation (ΔT=Tfinal-Tinitial)

When a body transmits heat there is another that receives it. This is the principle of the calorimeter. Then the heat released by the compound will be equal to the heat obtained by the calorimeter.

In this case, you know:

  • Q= 14 kJ= 14,000 J
  • c= 3.55  \frac{J}{g*C}
  • m=1.20 kg= 1200 g (1 kg=1000 g)
  • Tfinal= ?
  • Tinitial= 22.5 °C

Replacing:

14,000 J= 3.55 \frac{J}{g*C}*1200 g*(Tfinal-22.5C)

Solving:

\frac{14,000J}{3.55\frac{J}{g*C} *1200 g} =T final - 22.5C

3.3=Tfinal - 22.5 C

3.3 + 22.5=Tfinal

Tfinal= 25.8 °C

<u><em>Its final temperature is 25.8 °C</em></u>

The volume of air in a person’s lungs is 615 mL at a pressure of 760. mmHg. Inhalation occurs as the pressure in the lungs drops
chubhunter [2.5K]

<u>Answer:</u> The final volume of lungs is 621.5 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the new volume, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

The equation given by this law is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1\text{ and }V_1 are initial pressure and volume.

P_2\text{ and }V_2 are final pressure and volume.

We are given:

P_1=760mmHg\\V_1=615mL\\P_2=752mmHg\\V_2=?mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

760mmHg\times 615mL=752mmHg\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{760\times 615}{752}=621.5mL

Hence, the final volume of lungs is 621.5 mL
