An earthquake on the ocean floor produced a giant wave called a tsunami. The tsunami traveled through the ocean and hit a remote

island, causing a lot of damage. Is the water that hit the island the same water that was above the earthquake on the ocean floor?

Response:

Indeed

Clarification:

Earthquakes occur due to the movement of tectonic plates, and when there is a downward shift of these plates, it generates a ripple effect similar to what happens when an object is dropped into water. As the plates descend, the water in the affected area is pulled downward by gravity, but rather than leveling out, it accelerates and gains velocity, subsequently forming a wave. A tsunami becomes evident when the water retreats as it gathers speed; this backward movement, combined with cohesion, causes the water to flow with the displaced water, intensifying the wave, which culminates in a colossal tidal wave we refer to as a tsunami.

Respuesta:

0.16 M

Explicación:

Teniendo en cuenta:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

O sea,

Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Dado que:

Para K_2CO_3 :

Molaridad = 0.200 M

Volumen = 20.0 mL

Convierte mL a L:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Entonces, volumen = 20.0×10⁻³ L

Los moles de K_2CO_3 son:

Moles=0.200 \times {20.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

Moles de K_2CO_3 = 0.004 moles

Para Ba(NO_3)_2 :

Molaridad = 0.400 M

Volumen = 30.0 mL

Convertimos mL a L:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Volumen = 30.0×10⁻³ L

Entonces, los moles de Ba(NO_3)_2 son:

Moles=0.400 \times {30.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

Moles de Ba(NO_3)_2 = 0.012 moles

Según la reacción:

Ba(NO_3)_2 + K_2CO_3\rightarrow BaCO_3 + 2KNO_3

1 mol de Ba(NO_3)_2 reacciona con 1 mol de K_2CO_3

Por lo tanto,

0.012 mol de Ba(NO_3)_2 reacciona con 0.012 mol de K_2CO_3

Moles disponibles de K_2CO_3 = 0.004 mol

El reactivo limitante es el que está en menor cantidad, entonces K_2CO_3 es el limitante (0.004 < 0.012).

La formación del producto depende del reactivo limitante, así que,

1 mol de K_2CO_3 reacciona con 1 mol de Ba(NO_3)_2 y produce 1 mol de BaCO_3

0.004 mol de K_2CO_3 reacciona con 0.004 mol de Ba(NO_3)_2 y genera 0.004 mol de BaCO_3

Los moles restantes de Ba(NO_3)_2 son: 0.012 - 0.004 = 0.008 mol

El volumen total es 20 + 30 mL = 50 mL = 0.050 L

Por lo que la concentración del ion bario, Ba^{2+}, después de la reacción es:

Molarity=\frac{0.008}{0.050}\ M = 0.16\ M

A 25.0 g sample of an alloy was heated to 100.0 oC and dropped into a beaker containing 90 grams of water at 25.32 oC. The tempe
KiRa [2933]

Response:

The specific heat of the alloy C_{a} = 0.37 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

Clarification:

Weight of the alloy m_{a} = 25 gm

Initial temperature T_{a} = 100°c = 373 K

Weight of the water m_{w} = 90 gm

Initial temperature of water T_{w} = 25.32 °c = 298.32 K

Final temperature T_{f} = 27.18 °c = 300.18 K

Using the energy balance equation,

Heat released by the alloy = Heat absorbed by the water

m_{a} C_{a} [[T_{a} - T_{f}] = m_{w} C_w (T_{f} -T_{w} )

25 × C_{a} × ( 373 - 300.18 ) = 90 × 4.2 (300.18 - 298.32)

C_{a} = 0.37 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

This gives us the specific heat of the alloy.

castortr0y [3046]
The temperature difference after 3 hours is 5.16 K. Given that the moles of O₂ inhaled rate at 0.02 mole/min, which converts to 1.2 mole/hour, we know the average heat released during metabolism is 7.2 kJ/h·kg. Therefore, the amount of heat generated within 3 hours will be 7.2 kJ/h·kg multiplied by 3 hours, giving a result of 21.6 kJ/kg, or 21.6 x 10³ J/kg. Applying the formula Qp = Cp x ΔT, and taking the body's heat capacity to be 4.18 J/g·K, we find ΔT = 5.16 K.
