Mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, convert sustenance into energy, fueling the cell's activities. In addition to power, mitochondria also produce reactive oxygen species, byproduct molecules primed to help facilitate communication among the other units in the cells.

Two solutions, initially at 24.60 °C, are mixed in a coffee cup calorimeter (Ccal = 15.5 J/°C). When a 100.0 mL volume of 0.100

Answer:

ΔH = -59.6kJ/mol

Explanation:

The reaction that occurs between Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ ions is:

Ag⁺ + Cl⁻ → AgCl(s) + ΔH

To find ΔH we need to obtain moles of reaction and heat released in the reaction because ΔH is defined as heat released per mole of reaction.

<em>Moles of reaction:</em>

Moles of Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ added are:

Ag⁺: 0.100L * (0.100mol / L) = 0.01moles

Cl⁻: 0.100L * (0.200mol / L) 0 0.02 moles

That means limiting reactant is Ag⁺ and moles of reaction are 0.01 moles

<em>Heat released:</em>

To find heat released we must use coffe cup calorimeter equation:

Q = C*m*ΔT

<em>Where C is specific heat of solution (4.18J/g°C), m is the mass of solution (200g because there are 100 + 100mL = 200mL and density of solution is 1g/mL) and ΔT is change in temperature (25.30°C - 24.60°C = 0.70°C).</em>

Replacing:

Q = C*m*ΔT

Q = 4.18J/g°C * 200g * 0.70°C

Q = 585,2J

Is total heat released.

The calorimeter absorbs:

15.5J / °C * 0.7°C = 10.85

Thus, when 0.01 moles reacts, 585.2J + 10.85 = 596.05J are released (Heat released is heat abosrbed by calorimeter + Heat absorbed by water) and ΔH is:

ΔH = 596.05J / 0.01 moles =

ΔH = 59605J / mol =

<em>As heat is released, ΔH < 0.</em>

15 grams of sodium reacts with a certain amount of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride, as shown below.

ale4655 [162]

Answer: 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is one in which two or more than two elements combine together to forma single product.

$Na+Cl\rightarrow NaCl$

The atoms present in the reactants are found on the product side. According to the law of conservation of mass, the number of atoms on both sides of the arrow must be same as the total mass must be conserved.

15 grams of sodium reacts with 22 grams of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride. Thus 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction.

You measure the emission spectrum of an atom that you suspect to be hydrogen. You have no absolute calibration of the wavelength

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

What we need to do here is to determine the ratios by using the Rydberg equation starting with the transition to n1 = 1, 2,3, etc and see which one fits the data. Remember the question states that they are series and the wavelengths will be for increasing energy levels.

1/λ = Rh x ( 1/n₁² - 1/n₂²)

Lyman series ( n₁=1 and n₂= 2,3 etc) for the first two lines, the ratios will be:

1/λ₁ /1/λ₂ =(1/1 -1/ 2²) / (1/1 -1/ 3²) ⇒ 0.84 ≠ 0.74 (the first ratio)

For Balmer series n₁ = 2 and n₂ = 3,4,5, etc

1/λ₁ /1/λ₂ =(1/4 -1/3²) / (1/4 -1/4²) ⇒ 0.741 = 0.741 (match!)

Lets use the third line to check our answer:

1/λ₁ /1/λ₂ =(1/4 -1/3²) / (1/4 -1/5²) = 0.66
