In a calorimetry experiment, it was determined that a 92.0 gram piece of copper metal released 1860 J of heat to the surrounding

water in the calorimeter (qcopper = −1860 J). If the final temperature of the copper metal-water mixture was 25.00°C, what was the initial temperature of the copper metal? The specific heat of copper is 0.377 J/(g°C). Group of answer choices Tinitial = 28.6°C Tinitial = −28.6°C Tinitial = 78.6°C Tinitial = 92.6°C Tinitial = 53.6°C

Answer:

Tinitial = 78.6°C

Explanation:

In a calorimetry experiment, the flow heat is measured for a system that has a state change. In this case, there isn't happening a physical change, so the heat is called sensitive heat, and it's calculated by:

q = mxCpxΔT

Where q is the heat, m is the mass, Cp is the specific heat and ΔT is the difference of final and initial temperature (Tfinal - Tinitial).

Copper is losing heat, so q is negative, then:

-1860 = 92x0.377x(25 - Ti)

34.684(25 - Ti) = -1860

25 - Ti = -53.63

-Ti = -78.63

Ti = 78.6ºC

Select the true statements about denaturation.
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct options are: Denaturation of an enzyme will cause a loss of its catalytic activity.

Egg white meringue contains denatured egg white proteins.

A denatured protein has a different tertiary structure than its native state.

 Protein denaturation involves cleavage of its peptide bonds.

Explanation:

Protein denaturation is the breakdown of tertiary or quaternary junctions of proteins, which are the easiest to break compared to primary and secondary.

Denaturation can arise due to a change in pH or due to excess temperature. An enzyme is generally a protein and if it is subjected to acidic acids or high temperatures, it denatures, ceasing to perform its function.

Zymogen is a non-denatured INACTIVE proenzyme, that is why we consider that option false along with those that were not selected.

Which of the following trends is indirectly proportional to effective nuclear charge, Zeff
Julli [10]

Answer : Option C) Atomic Size

Explanation : The atomic radius of the elements is found to be decreasing if we go from left to right in the modern periodic table. Accordingly, Z_{eff} increases as the number of shielding electrons present in the atomic nucleus of the periodic elements which lies in the same row remains constant while the number of protons in each atomic shell increases.

The effective nuclear charge Z_{eff} of an atom is defined as the net positive charge which is felt by the valence electron of the atomic element.

When Z_{eff} is observed to decrease, it is seen that the atomic radius grows in size. So, it explains the inverse relationship between both. This phenomenon occurs, because there is more screening of the electrons from the nucleus taking place, which is observed due to decrease the attraction between the electron and the nucleus.

Using the following standard reduction potentials, Fe3+(aq) + e- → Fe2+(aq) E° = +0.77 V Ni2+(aq) + 2 e- → Ni(s) E° = -0.23 V ca
lina2011 [118]

<u>Answer:</u> The above reaction is non-spontaneous.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2Fe^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}(aq.)+Ni(s)

Here, nickel is getting reduced because it is gaining electrons and iron is getting oxidized because it is loosing electrons.

We know that:

E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})}=0.77V\\E^o_{(Ni^{2+}/Ni)}=-0.23V

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

E^o_{cell}=-0.23-0.77=-1.0V

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}

As, the standard electrode potential of the cell is coming out to be negative for the above cell. Thus, the standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction will become positive making the reaction non-spontaneous.

Hence, the above reaction is non-spontaneous.

Find the volume of a balloon of a gas at 842 mm Hg and -23 celcius if it’s volume is 915 milliliters at a pressure of 1170 mm Hg
Ronch [10]

The volume of a balloon f a gas at 842 mm Hg and -23 celsius if it’s volume is 915 milliliters at a pressure of 1170 mm Hg And a temperature of 24 celsius is 0.22 litres

Explanation:

Data given:

Initial volume of the balloon having gas V1= 915ml OR 0.195 L

initial pressure of the gas P1= 1170 mm Hg OR 1.53 atm

initial temperature of the gas T1 = 24 celsius or 273.15 + 24 = 297.15 K

Final pressure of the gas P2 = 842 mm Hg or 1.10 atm

final temperature of the gas T2 = -23 degrees or 273.15 - 23 = 250.15 K

Final volume at final temperature and pressure V2=?

The formula used is of Gas Law:

\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}

V2 = \frac{P1V1T2}{T1P2}

putting the values in the equation:

V2 =  \frac{1.53 X 0.195 X 250.15}{297.15 X 1.10}

V2 = 0.22 litres is the volume

The volume is 0.22 litres at a pressure of 1170 mmHg and temperature of -23 degrees.
