29.5 g of mercury is heated from 32°C to 161°C, and absorbs 499.2 joules of heat in the process. Calculate the specific heat cap

Finger [1]

Answer:

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of mercury = 29.5 g

Initial temperature = 32°C

Final temperature = 161°C

Heat absorbed = 499.2 j

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 161°C - 32°C

ΔT = 129 °C

Q = m.c. ΔT

c = Q / m. ΔT

c = 499.2 j / 29.5 g. 129 °C

c = 499.2 j / 3805.5 g. °C

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

The metabolic oxidation of glucose, C6H12O6, in our bodies produces CO2, which is expelled from our lungs as a gas.

enot [183]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{21.6 L}}$

Explanation:

We must do the conversions

mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of CO₂ ⟶ volume of CO₂

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 180.16

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ⟶ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

m/g: 24.5

(a) Moles of C₆H₁₂O₆

$\text{Moles of C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} = \text{24.5 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}{\text{180.16 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}\\\\= \text{0.1360 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}$

(b) Moles of CO₂

$\text{Moles of CO}_{2} =\text{0.1360 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} \times \dfrac{\text{6 mol CO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}} = \text{0.8159 mol CO}_{2}$

(c) Volume of CO₂

We can use the Ideal Gas Law.

pV = nRT

Data:

p = 0.960 atm

n = 0.8159 mol

T = 37 °C

(i) Convert the temperature to kelvins

T = (37 + 273.15) K= 310.15 K

(ii) Calculate the volume

$\begin{array}{rcl}pV &=& nRT\\\text{0.960 atm} \times V & = & \text{0.8159 mol} \times \text{0.082 06 L}\cdot\text{atm}\cdot\text{K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1} \times \text{310.15 K}\\0.960V & = & \text{20.77 L}\\V & = & \textbf{21.6 L} \\\end{array}\\\text{The volume of carbon dioxide is $\large \boxed{\textbf{21.6 L}}$}$

10 moles of carbon dioxide has a mass of 440 g. What is the relative formula mass of carbon dioxide?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: 44g

Explanation: The formular for finding Moles is ;

Moles = Mass / Molar Mass or Formular Mass.

Base on this question; Moles = 10, Mass = 440g, and Formular Mass = ?

Making 'Formular Mass', subject of the formular; we thus have;

Formular mass = Mass / Moles = 440/ 10 = 44g

What happens to the number of neutrons as you move across the table? <br><br> left to right

luda_lava [24]

Answer: The number of neutrons will increase as we move from left to right in a periodic table.

Explanation:

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Mass number is the sum of number of neutrons and number of protons.

As we move from left to right, both the atomic number and mass number increases.

For example: As we move from Lithium to berrylium to boron to carbon to nitrogen to oxygen to fluorine to neon , the number of neutrons increase from 4 to 5 to 6 to 6 to 7 to 8 to 10 to 10.

Thus the number of neutrons will also increase as we move from left to right in a periodic table.
