Answer:

Mass of paraffin that would be needed to collect the amount of energy as 4.73 x 10³ kg of water is 6.85 * 10³ kg

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of paraffin, Cp = 2.90 J/g.°C = 2900 J/kg.°C

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.20 J/g.°C = 4200 J/kg.°C

Amount of heat energy that can be stored by 4.73 * 10³ kg of water heated through a degree rise in temperature can be calculated as below:

Using  H = mCpθ where m is mass of substance, Cp is specific heat capacity and θ is temperature change

H = 4.73 * 10³ kg * 4200 J/kg.°C * 1°C

H = 19866000 J

Mass of paraffin that would be needed to collect the amount of energy as 4.73 x 10 3 kg of water for a degree rise in temperature is calculated as follows:

H = mCpθ

19866000J = m * 2900 J/kg.°C * 1°C

m = 19866000J / 2900 J/kg

m = 6850.34 kg = 6.85 * 10³ kg

Therefore, mass of paraffin that would be needed to collect the amount of energy as 4.73 x 10³ kg of water is 6.85 * 10³ kg

What is the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration?
Artemon [7]
<span>The potential of NADH and FADH2 is converted to more ATPthrough an electron transport chain with oxygen as the "terminal electron acceptor". Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation.

Hope this helps. :)

Convert 190 mmHg to a) kilopascals<br> b) atmospheres
DochEvi [55]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

#a. 25.33 kPa

#b. 0.25 atmospheres

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Pressure may be measured using several units which include pascals, atmospheres, mmHg and kilopascals.
  • These units of measuring pressure may be converted from one unit to another using a conversion factor.

For example;

1 kPa = 7.5 mmHg

Thus, in our case,

#a. To convert 190 mmHg to kPa

we divide 190 mmHg by 7.5 mmHg

   = 190 mmHg ÷ 7.5 mmHg

  = 25.33 kPa

Hence, 190 mmHg is equivalent to 25.33 kilopascals

Another conversion factor is;

1 atm = 760 mmHg

Therefore, in our case,

#b. To convert 190 mmHg to atmospheres

we divide 190 mmHg by 760 mmHg

That is; 190 mmHg ÷ 760 mmHg

            = 0.25 atm

Thus, 190 mmHg is equivalent to 0.25 atm
