From the problem statement, this is a conversion problem. We are asked to convert from units of kilojoules to units of calories. To do this, we need a conversion factor which would relate the different units involved. We either multiply or divide this certain value to the original measurement depending on what is asked. From literature, we will find that 1 kilojoule is equal to 239 calories. We do as follows:

2.2125 kJ ( 239 calories / 1 kJ ) = 528.79 calories

If ethanol has a density of 0.785g/mL, calculate the volume of 83.7 g of ethanol.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

<h2>106.62 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question

mass = 83.7 g

density = 0.785 g/mL

We have

volume =  \frac{83.7}{0.785}  \\  = 106.62420

We have the final answer as

<h3>106.62 mL</h3>

For the most effective hot pack, should the Temperature change be positive or negative ?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Positive

Explanation:

For the most effective hot pack, the temperature change should be <u>positive</u>.

<em>Hot packs are generally utilized for their heat-producing abilities. Hence, the reactions leading to the activation of hot packs are usually exothermic, that is, heat energy generating. In other words, positive or increased temperatures must be generated when hot packs are activated.</em>

This is unlike cold packs which are utilized for the cold-generating abilities. Reactions leading to their activations must be endothermic, that is, heat-absorbing.

For the following gases, correct the volumes to the conditions indicated. A.654 cm3 at 6 degrees Celsius and 65.3 kPa to 4 degre
leva [86]

Initial pressure of the gas = 65.3 kPa  

Initial volume of the gas = 654 cm³

Initial temperature of the gas = 6⁰C = 273 + 6 = 279 K

Final pressure of the gas = 108.7 kPa

Final temperature of the gas = 4⁰C = 273 + 4 = 277 K

Using the combined gas law for ideal gases:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

where P₁, V₁ and T₁ are the pressure, volume and temperature for the initial state and P₂, V₂ and T₂ are the pressure, volume and temperature for the final state.

Plugging the given data into the combined gas law we have,

(65.3 kPa x 654 cm³) / (279 K) = (108.7 kPa x V₂)/(277 K)

V₂ = (65.3 kPa x 654 cm³ x 277 K) / (279 K x 108.7 kPa)

V₂ = 390.1 cm³

The element germanium is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white solid in the carbon group. It is a semiconductor with an appearance sim
stealth61 [152]
Hello!

Based on these facts, we should classify Germanium as a Metalloid.

Metalloids are chemical elements with a mixture of properties from metals and non-metals. Although Germanium has a metallic appearance (typical of metals), it doesn't have the conductive properties of metals, but is a semiconductor. The semiconductive properties of Germanium are used in applications like transistors and chips.

Have a nice day!
