Viruses always have a host to latch on. When latched on, viruses will inject its protein or RNA into the host.
Viruses aren’t considered organic.
Bacteria has a nucleus and cell membranes while viruses don’t
Viruses are not considered organic while bacteria are.

How many Joules are released to cool 250.0 grams of liquid water from 100°C to 0°C? The specific heat of water is 4.180 J/g.C.

nlexa [21]

$\bold{\huge{\orange{\underline{ Solution}}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}$

We have 250g of liquid water and it needs to be cool at temperature from 100° C to 0° C
Specific heat of water is 4.180J/g°C

$\bold{\underline{ To \: Find :- }}$

We have to find the total number of joules released.

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \:Begin:- }}$

We know that,

Amount of heat energy = mass * specific heat * change in temperature

That is, 

$\sf{\red{ Q = mcΔT }}$

Subsitute the required values in the above formula :-

$\sf{ Q = 250 × 4.180 ×(0 - 100 )}$

$\sf{ Q = 250 × 4.180 × - 100 }$

$\sf{ Q = 250 × - 418}$

$\sf{\pink{ Q = - 104,500 J }}$

Hence, 104,500 J of heat is released to cool 250 grams of liquid water from 100° C to 0° C.

$\bold{\underline{ Now :- }}$

We have to tell whether the above process is endothermic or exothermic :-

Here, In the above process ΔT is negative and as a result of it Q is also negative that means above process is Exothermic

Exothermic process :- It is the process in which heat is evolved .
Endothermic process :- It is the process in which heat is absorbed .

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used to melt ice on roads during the winter. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for t

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

$\Delta Tfp_{NaCl}= -14.0\°C\\\\\Delta Tfp_{CaCl_2}=-11.1\°C$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the freezing point depression caused by the addition of a solute, we use the following formula:

$\Delta Tfp= i*m*Kfp$

Thus, we first need to compute the molality of each solute, as shown below:

$m_{NaCl}=\frac{220.g/(58.44g/mol)}{1.00kg} =3.76m\\\\m_{CaCl_2}=\frac{220.g/(110.98g/mol)}{1.00kg} =1.98m$

Next, since NaCl has two ionic species, one Na⁺ and one Cl⁻, and CaCl₂ three, one Ca²⁺ and two Cl⁻, the van't Hoff's factors are 2 and 3 respectively, therefore the freezing point depressions turn out:

$\Delta Tfp_{NaCl}= 2*3.76m*-1.86\°C/m=-14.0\°C\\\\\Delta Tfp_{CaCl_2}= 3*1.98m*-1.86\°C/m=-11.1\°C$

It means that CaCl₂ is still better than NaCl because produces involves a higher melting point for the ice, so it would melt faster.

Best regards!
