Answer:

Q = 114349.5 J

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since this a problem in which we need to calculate the total heat of the described process, it turns out convenient to calculate it in three steps; the first one, associated to the heating of the liquid water from 40 °C to 100 °C, next the vaporization of liquid water to steam at constant 100 °C and finally the heating of steam from 100 °C to 115 °C. In such a way, we calculate each heat as shown below:

$Q_1=45g*4.18\frac{J}{g\°C}*(100\°C-40\°C)=11286J\\\\Q_2=45g* 2260 \frac{J}{g} =101700J\\\\Q_3=45*2.02\frac{J}{g\°C}*(115\°C-100\°C)=1363.5J$

Thus, the total energy turns out to be:

$Q_T=11286J+101700J+1363.5J\\\\Q_T=114349.5J$

Best regards!

Calculate the concentration of OH- in a solution that contains 3.9 x 10-4 M H3O+ at 25°C. Identify the solution as acidic, basic

aalyn [17]

Answer:

[OH⁻] = 2,6x10⁻¹¹

Acidic

Explanation:

The kw in water is:

2 H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

kw = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺] = 1,00x10⁻¹⁴

If concentracion of H₃O⁺ is 3,9x10⁻⁴M:

[OH⁻] [3,9x10⁻⁴M] = 1,00x10⁻¹⁴

[OH⁻] = 2,6x10⁻¹¹

pH is defined as - log[H₃O⁺]. If pH>7,0 the solution is basic, if pH<7,0 solution is acidic, if pH=7,0 solution is neutral.

In this problem,

pH = - log [3,9x10⁻⁴M] = 3,4

As pH is < 7.0, the solution is acidic

I hope it helps!

The role of pigments both in capturing light energy and in converting it to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)

Explanation:

Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.

Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..
