0.208 is the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:

Given:

mass (m)  = 63.5 grams 0R 0.0635 kg

Heat absorbed (q) = 355 Joules

Δ T (change in temperature) = 4.56 degrees or 273.15+4.56 = 268.59 K

cp (specific heat capacity) = ?

the formula used for heat absorbed  and to calculate specific heat capacity of a substance will be calculated by using the equation:

q = mc Δ T

c = \frac{q}{mΔ T}

c = \frac{355}{63.5X 268.59}

 = 0.208 J/gm K

specific heat capacity of 0.208 J/gm K

The specific heat capacity is defined as  the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance which is 1 gram. The temperature is in Kelvin and energy required is in joules.

Stells [14]

Answer:

296.1 day.

Explanation:

  • The decay of radioactive elements obeys first-order kinetics.
  • For a first-order reaction: k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).

Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t1/2 is the half-life time of the reaction (t1/2 = 1620 years).

∴ k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(74.0 days) = 9.365 x 10⁻³ day⁻¹.

  • For first-order reaction: <em>kt = lna/(a-x).</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 9.365 x 10⁻³ day⁻¹).

t is the time of the reaction (t = ??? day).

a is the initial concentration of Ir-192 (a = 560.0 dpm).

(a-x) is the remaining concentration of Ir-192 (a -x = 35.0 dpm).

<em>∴ kt = lna/(a-x)</em>

(9.365 x 10⁻³ day⁻¹)(t) = ln(560.0 dpm)/(35.0 dpm).

(9.365 x 10⁻³ day⁻¹)(t) = 2.773.

<em>∴ t </em>= (2.773)/(9.365 x 10⁻³ day⁻¹) =<em> 296.1 day.</em>

What mass of carbon dioxide could be made from 100 tonnes of calcium carbonate?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Total mass of CaCO3 = 40 amu of Ca + 12amu of C + 16×3 amu of oxygen = 100amu of CaCO3




i.e 100 tonnes of CaCO3 .


mass of CO2 = 12amu of C + 2× 16amu of O = 44 amu of CO2




mass % of CO2 in CaCO3 = (44/100)×100 =44%


i.e
44% of 100 tonnes is CO2.
=44 tonnes of CO2.

therefore, 44% of CO2 is present in CaCO3.

A mutation in the gene coding for a single-polypeptide enzyme results in the substitution of the amino acid serine, which has a
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is: The substitution altered the secondary and tertiary structure of the enzyme so that the mutated enzyme folds into a different shape than the normal enzyme does.

Explanation:

In the given condition, the substitution mutation of gene causes a replacement of serine by phenylalanine amino acids which causes a reduction in the activity of the enzyme.  Since serine is polar and has -OH or hydroxy group involves the information of binding of biological catalyst to the substrate.

The primary structure of a protein is significant which finalizes the number of amino acids their sequence. The mutation of protein also affects both secondary and tertiary structures as it disturbs the structure of the protein and affects the catalytic activity as well as the binding affinity of the substrate.

the substitution of serin by phenylalanine does not affect or influence the mass of enzyme.

Hector claims that a single sodium ion and a single oxygen ion do not bond together to form a stable binary ionic compound. Is h
levacccp [35]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Looking at the periodic table, we can see that sodium is in group 1, so a sodium ion would be Na⁺, with a charge of +1. Oxygen is in group 16, so an oxygen ion would be O²⁻, with a charge of -2.

A compound formed only by a single sodium ion and a single oxygen ion would thus have a charge of -1, and in order to have a stable ionic compound its charge must be zero.
