The human body is 0.0040% iron. How many milligrams of iron does a 165 pound person contain?​

Chemistry

Fofino [41]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

in a body of 165 pounds, the iron content is 2993.707 mg

Explanation:

  • % iron = 0.0040% = (mass iron / mass human) * 100

⇒ mass iron / mass human = 4 E-5

∴ mass human = 165 pounds

⇒ mass iron = 165 pounds * 4 E-5

⇒ mass iron = 6.6 E-3 pounds * ( 453.592 g/pound ) * ( 1000 mg/g )

⇒ mass iron = 2993.707 mg iron

A goldsmith melts 12.4 grams of gold to make a ring. The temperature of the gold rises from 26°C to 1064°C, and then the gold me
DiKsa [7]

Problem One

You will use both m * c * deltaT and H = m * heat of fusion.

Givens

m = 12.4 grams

c = 0.1291

t1 = 26oC

t2 = 1204

heat of fusion (H_f) = 63.5 J/grams.

Equation

H = m * c * deltaT + m * H_f

Solution

H = 12.4 * 0.1291 * (1063 - 26) + 12.4 * 63.5

H = 1660.1 + 787.4

H = 2447.5 or 2447.47 is the exact answer. I have to leave the rounding to you. I have no idea where to round it although I suspect 2450 would be right for 3 sig digs.

Problem Two

Formula and Givens

t1 = 14.5

t2 = 50.0

E = 5680

c = 4.186

m = ??

E = m c * deltaT

Solution

5680 = m * 4.186 * (50 - 14.5)

5680 = m * 4.186 * (35.5)

5680 = m * 148.603 * m

m = 5680 / 148.603

m = 38.22 grams That isn't very much. Be very sure you are working in joules. You'd leave that many grams in the kettle after drying it thoroughly.

m = 38.2 to 3 sig digs.

balandron [24]

Answer:

(A) The work done by the system is -101.325J

(B) The workdone by the system is -90.75J

Explanation:

(A) Workdone = -PΔV

Given that A = 100cm2 = 0.01m2

distance d = 10cm = 0.1m

ΔV= Area × distance

ΔV= 0.01 ×0.1

ΔV = 0.001m3

P= external pressure = 1atm = 101325Pa

Workdone = -0.001 × 101325

W= - 101.325Pa m3

1Pam3 = 1J

Therefore W = - 101.325J

The work done on the system is -101.325J

(B) Workdone = -PΔV

Given that A = 50cm2 = 0.005m2

distance d = 15cm = 0.15m

ΔV= Area × distance

ΔV= 0.005×0.15

ΔV = 0.00075m3

P=121kPa = 121000Pa

W= - 121000 × 0.00075

W= -90.75Pa m3

1Pam3 = 1J

W = - 90.75J

The woekdone by the system is -90.75J

A 0.200 M K 2SO 4 solution is produced by ________. dilution of 250.0 mL of 1.00 M K2SO4 to 1.00 L dissolving 43.6 g of K2SO4 in
Artist 52 [7]

A 0.200 M of K2SO4 solution is produced by diluting 20.0 mL of 5.00 M K2SO4 solution to 500.0 mL.  

<u>Explanation</u>:

  •  When dealing with dilution we will use the following equation:

                              M1 V1 = M2 V2

where,

                      M1 = initial concentration

                      V1 = initial volume

                      M2 = final concentration

                      V2 = final volume

  • By diluting 20.0 mL of 5.00 M K2SO4 solution to 500.0 mL, we get

                            M1 V1 = M2 V2

     20.0 mL \times    5.00 M = M2 \times 500.0 mL

                               M2 = (20.0 mL \times    5.00 M) / 500.0 mL

                              M2 =  0.200 M.

Hence A 0.200 M of K2SO4 solution is produced by diluting 20.0 mL of 5.00 M K2SO4 solution to 500.0 mL.
