Greater than 23mcg/dl is considered a high level of morning cortisol.

Normally, cortisol levels rise during the early morning hours and are highest about 7AM. They drop very low in the evening and during the early phase of sleep. If you do not have this daily change (diurnal rhythm) in cortisol levels, you may have overactive adrenal glands. This condition is called Cushing's syndrome.

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy change of the reaction is -27. kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 25.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{25.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 25.0mL)=25g$

To calculate the heat released by the reaction, we use the equation:

$q=mc\Delta T$

where,

q = heat released

m = Total mass = [1.25 + 25] = 26.25 g

c = heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=(21.9-25.8)^oC=-3.9^oC$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=26.25g\tiimes 4.18J/g^oC\times (-3.9^oC)=-427.9J=-0.428kJ$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of ammonium nitrate = 1.25 g

Molar mass of ammonium nitrate = 80 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ammonium nitrate}=\frac{1.25g}{80g/mol}=0.0156mol$

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

q = amount of heat released = -0.428 kJ

n = number of moles = 0.0156 moles

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{-0.428kJ}{0.0156mol}=-27.44kJ/mol$

Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction is -27. kJ/mol

Teniendo en cuenta los siguientes fenómenos: ebullición del agua- movimiento de un cuerpo- disolución de sal en agua- combustión

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Las siguientes son reacciones químicas;

combustión de leña

oxidación del hierro

descomposición del agua en hidrógeno y oxígeno

Explanation:

Una reacción química da como resultado la formación de una (s) sustancia (s) nueva (s), mientras que un cambio físico no conduce a la formación de una sustancia nueva.

Las siguientes son reacciones químicas;

combustión de leña: la combustión de madera implica la oxidación del carbono según la reacción; C (s) + O2 (g) -------> CO2 (g)

oxidación del hierro: La oxidación del hierro conduce a la formación de óxidos de hierro. Como; 2Fe (s) + O2 (g) ----> 2FeO (s)

descomposición del agua en hidrógeno y oxígeno: esta es una reacción química en la que el agua se descompone de la siguiente manera; 2H2O (l) -----> 2H2 (g) + O2 (g)

Todos estos procesos enumerados anteriormente conducen a la formación de nuevas sustancias, por lo tanto, son reacciones químicas.
