explain briefly why a tightly corked glass bottle filled to the brim with fresh palm wine shatters on standing for sometime​

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

Fresh palmwine is an organic  compound usually derived and tapped from palm trees. They have a sweet taste and are usually consumed in most West African countries and other parts of the world.

A fresh tightly corked glass bottle filled to the brim with palm wine will shatter on standing for sometime due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide gas that results from the fermentation of the palmwine. Since the bottle is tightly corked and there is no room for gases to expand, the pressure of the carbon dioxide gas produced will eventually overcome that of the glass bottle and it will break.

To most geologists, the term "acid test" means placing a drop of dilute (5% to 10%) hydrochloric acid on a rock or mineral and watching for bubbles of carbon<span> dioxide gas to be released. The bubbles signal the presence of carbonate minerals such as</span>calcite<span>, </span>dolomite<span>, or one of the minerals listed in Table 1.</span>

Assume the weight of an average adult is 70. kg, and that 420. kJ of heat are evolved per mole of oxygen consumed as a result of
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The temperature difference of the body after 3 hours = 5.16 K

Explanation:

we know that the number of moles of O₂ inhaled are 0.02 mole/min⁻¹

                                   or, 1.2 mole.h⁻¹

The average heat evolved by the oxidation of foodstuffs is then:

⇒          Q avg =\frac{1.2 X 420 X 10^{3} }{70} = 7.2 kj.h⁻¹.Kg⁻¹

the heat produced after 3 h would be:

                 =    7.2 kj. h⁻¹.Kg⁻¹ x 3 h

                 = 21.6 kj. kg⁻¹

                 = 21.6 x 10³ j kg⁻¹

We know Qp = Cp x ΔT

Assume the heat capacity of the body is 4.18 J g⁻¹K⁻¹

⇒ ΔT = \frac{Qp}{Cp}

⇒ ΔT = \frac{(21.6 X 10^{3} j.kg^{-1} ) }{(4.18 j k^{-1}g^{-1})   X (1000g.kg^{-1} )}

⇒ ΔT = 5.16 K
