When 21.45 g of KNO3 was dissolved in water in a calorimeter, the temperature fell from 25.00°C to 14.14 °C. If the heat capacit

25.9 kJ/mol. (3 sig. fig. as in the heat capacity.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The process:

\text{KNO}_3\;(s) \to \text{KNO}_3\;(aq).

How many moles of this process?

Relative atomic mass from a modern periodic table:

  • K: 39.098;
  • N: 14.007;
  • O: 15.999.

Molar mass of \text{KNO}_3:

M(\text{KNO}_3) = 39.098 + 14.007 + 3\times 15.999 = 101.102\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

Number of moles of the process = Number of moles of \text{KNO}_3 dissolved:

\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{21.45}{101.102} = 0.212162\;\text{mol}.

What's the enthalpy change of this process?

Q = C\cdot \Delta T = 0.505 \times (25.00 - 14.14) = 5.4843\;\text{kJ} for 0.212162\;\text{mol}. By convention, the enthalpy change \Delta H measures the energy change for each mole of a process.

\displaystyle \Delta H = \frac{Q}{n} = \frac{5.4843\text{kJ}}{0.212162\;\text{mol}} = 25.8\;\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

The heat capacity is the least accurate number in these calculation. It comes with three significant figures. As a result, round the final result to three significant figures. However, make sure you keep at least one additional figure to minimize the risk of rounding errors during the calculation.

Explain how our body systems work together to get oxygen into and around our body.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:  (1) Inhales (breathes in) Oxygen - good for the body - gives it to the Circulatory System to be transported throughout the body through the blood. (1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.

If you want to find the force needed to pull a small car up a ramp, it would be best to use..
Katyanochek1 [597]

The answer is; A

By using a spring and determining the tension applied on the string by the car, it is possible to deduce the force. Determine the spring's initial tension as well as spring rate and working loads;

Rate = (Load – Initial Tension) ÷ Travel

k = (L – IT) ÷ T
