A 2.50 g sample of zinc is heated, and then placed in a calorimeter containing 65.0 g of water. Temperature of water increases f

rom 20.00 oC to 22.50 oC. The specific heat of zinc is 0.390 J/g oC. Assuming no heat loss, what was the initial temperature of the zinc metal sample?

718.65 degrees is the initial temperature of the zinc metal sample.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of zinc sample = 2.50 grams

mass of water  = 65 grams

initial temperature of water = 20 degrees

final temperature of water = 22.5 degrees

ΔT  = change in temperature of water is 2.50 degrees

specific heat capacity of zinc cp= 0.390 J/g°C

initial temperature of zinc sample = ?

cp of water = 4.186 J/g°C

heat absorbed = heat released (no heat loss)

formula used is

q = mcΔT

q water = 65 x 4.286 x 2.5

q water = 696.15 J

q zinc = 2.50 x 0.390 x (22.50- Ti)

equating the two equations

696.15 = - 22.50+ Ti

Ti = 718.65 degrees is the initial temperature of zinc.

Write the Lewis structure for ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, then answer the following questions:
hodyreva [135]

Answer :

(1) The number of valence electrons present in the compound is, 20

(2) The number of bonded electrons present in the compound is, 16

(3) The number of lone pair electrons present in the compound is, 4

(4) The number of single bonds present in the compound is, 8

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CH_3CH_2OH

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3CH_2OH = 2(4) + 6(1) + 6 = 20

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 16 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons or lone pair of electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of CH_3CH_2OH is shown below.

1. Suppose 0.7542 g of magnesium reacts with excess oxygen to form magnesium oxide as the only product, what would be the theore
Alina [70]

Answer :

(1) The theoretical yield of product, MgO is, 1.257 grams.

(2) The percent yield of MgO is, 64.13 %

(3) If the percent yield is calculated to be over 100% then there might be some impurity present in the desired product.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Mg = 0.7542 g

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mole

Molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Mg.

\text{ Moles of }Mg=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Mg}{\text{ Molar mass of }Mg}=\frac{0.7542g}{24g/mole}=0.03142moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of MgO

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Mg react to give 2 mole of MgO

So, 0.03142 moles of Mg react to give 0.03142 moles of MgO

Now we have to calculate the mass of MgO

\text{ Mass of }MgO=\text{ Moles of }MgO\times \text{ Molar mass of }MgO

\text{ Mass of }MgO=(0.03142moles)\times (40g/mole)=1.257g

Theoretical yield of MgO = 1.257 g

Experimental yield of MgO = 0.8922 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of MgO

\% \text{ yield of }MgO=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }MgO}{\text{ Theretical yield of }MgO}\times 100

\% \text{ yield of }MgO=\frac{0.8922g}{1.257g}\times 100=70.97\%

Therefore, the percent yield of MgO is, 70.97 %

If the percent yield is calculated to be over 100% then the product would be greater than 1.257 g which indicates that there might be some impurity present in the desired product.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Mitochondria are abundantly present in mammalian cells. Their fraction varies from tissue to tissue, ranging from <1% (volume) in white blood cells to 35% in heart muscle cells. However, mitochondria should not be thought of as single entities, but rather a dynamic network that continuously undergoes fission and fusion processes. In skeletal muscle, mitochondria exist as a reticular membrane network. The subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria are located in distinct subcellular regions, and they possess subtle differences in biochemical and functional properties that are characterized by their anatomical locations. SS mitochondria lie directly beneath the sarcolemmal membrane and the IMF mitochondria are located in close contact with the myofibril. Their different properties are likely to influence their capacity for adaptation. SS mitochondria account for 10-15% of the mitochondrial volume and this population has been shown to be more susceptible to adaptation than the IMF mitochondria. However, the IMF mitochondria were found to have higher rates of protein synthesises, enzyme activities and respiration (1).

A scientist is wondering why a certain region in the ocean doesn't have maximum phytoplankton growth, despite having plenty of n
Advocard [28]

Answer:

C The water had adequate nitrogen and phosphorus, so it is likely iron limited.

Explanation:

Phytoplankton are single- cell organisms that live in oceans.

They require nitrogen, phosphorus and trace amount of iron to survive.

From the scientist's results after testing the water for nitrogen and phosphorus,there are reasonable amount of these elements.

Therefore insufficient iron in the water is the reason why he could find plenty phytoplankton in the ocean.
