The enthalpy of combustion of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is commonly used as the standard for calibrating constant-volume bomb calo

rimeters; its value has been accurately determined to be −3226.7 kJ/mol. When 3.1007 g of benzoic acid are burned in a calorimeter, the temperature rises from 21.84°C to 24.67°C. What is the heat capacity of the bomb? (Assume that the quantity of water surrounding the bomb is exactly 2250 g.)

<h3>Answer:</h3>

28.96 kJ/°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Enthalpy change (ΔH) = −3226.7 kJ/mol
  • The reaction is exothermic since the heat change is negative;
  • Mass of benzoic acid = 3.1007 g
  • Temperature change (21.84°C to 24.67°C) = 2.83°C

We are required to find the heat capacity of benzoic acid;

<h3>Step 1: Moles of benzoic acid </h3>

Moles = Mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of benzoic = 122.12 g/mol

Therefore;

Moles = 3.1007 g ÷ 122.12 g/mol

          = 0.0254 moles

<h3>Step 2: Determine the specific heat capacity </h3>

Heat change for 1 mole = 3226.7 kJ

Moles of Benzoic acid = 0.0254 moles

But;

Specific heat capacity × ΔT = Moles × Heat change

  cΔT = nΔH

Therefore;

Specific heat capacity,c = nΔH ÷ ΔT

                                     = (3226.7 kJ × 0.0254 moles) ÷ 2.83°C

                                    = 28.96 kJ/°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of benzoic acid is 28.96 kJ/°C

How many moles of gas occupy 98 L at a pressure of 2.8 atmosphere and a temperature of 292 K
OLga [1]
Let's assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior.

Then we can use ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT

Where, <span>
P = Pressure of the gas (Pa)
V = volume of the gas (m³)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = Universal gas constant (8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹)<span>
T = temperature in Kelvin (K)
<span>
The given data for the </span></span>gas is,<span>
P = 2.8 atm = 283710 Pa
V = 98 L = 98 x 10</span>⁻³ m³<span>
T = 292 K
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
n = ?

By applying the formula,
283710 Pa x </span>98 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 292 K
<span>                                       n = 11.45 mol

Hence, moles of gas is </span>11.45 mol.

Procaine hydrochloride ( = 272.77 g/mol) is used as a local anesthetic. Calculate the molarity of a 4.666 m solution which has a
Mkey [24]

Procaine hydrochloride ( = 272.77 g/mol) is used as a local anesthetic. Calculate the molarity of a 4.666 m solution which has a density of 1.1066 g/ml.

molarity = Moles of solute /  volume of solution

          Molarity = m d / [ 1 + (mW / 1000)]

Molarity = 4.666 X 1.1066 / [ 1 + (4.666 X 272.77 / 1000)]

Molarity =  5.16 / 2.272= 2.271 M

Len [333]

The answer is isotonic solution. These are solutions where the solute concentration in the solution and inside the cells are levelled and consequently water flows consistently. When red blood cells are positioned in an isotonic solution the cells would always stay the same.

Phosphofructokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose 6‑phosphate to fructose 1,6‑bisphosphate in glycolysis. Fructose 1
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

d. increases PFK activity, decreases FBPase activity

Explanation:

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate is formed by the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate catalyzed by phosphofructokinase-2, PFK-2.

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate functions as an allosteric effector of the enzymes phosphofructokinase-1, PFK-1 and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, FBPase.

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate has opposite effects on the enzymes, PFK-1 and FBPase. When it binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme, PFK-1, it increases the enzymes's activity by increasing its affinity for its substrate fructose-6-phosphate and reduces its affinity for its allosteric inhibitors ATP and citrate. However, when it binds to FBPase, it reduces its activity by reducing its affinity for glucose, its substrate
