Read the passage below about acupuncture.

Answer:

The correct option is C. 21900.3. I calculated 21945 J, which makes option C closely aligned with my result.

Explanation:

Data

mass = 150 g

initial temperature T1 = 10°C

final temperature T2 = 45°C

Cw = 4.18 J/g°C

Formula

Q = mCΔT = mC(T2 - T1)

Substitution

Q = (150)(4.18)(45 - 10)

Simplification

Q = (150)(4.18)(35)

Result

Q = 21945 J

Answer: The correct option is, 30 protons

Explanation:

Element = Zinc

Atomic number = 30

Atomic mass number = 65

Recall that the atomic number equals the number of electrons and protons.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 30

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Number of protons = 65 - 30 = 35

Therefore, an uncharged zinc atom has 30 protons.

Answer:

The reaction will proceed in the forward direction, resulting in the reduction of NiO to Ni

Explanation:

Step 1: Provided data

Kp = 6.0 * 10²

Pressure of CO = 150 torr

Total pressure remains under 760 torr

Step 2: The balanced reaction equation:

NiO(s) + CO(g) ⇆ Ni(s) + CO2(g)

Step 3: Determine P(CO) and P(CO2)

For this equilibrium, the Kp expression is:

Kp = P(CO2)/P(CO) = 6.0*10^2

Given that NiO and Ni are solids, they do not affect the Kp

⇒ with P(CO) = 150 torr

⇒ P(CO) = 760 - 150 = 610 torr

Step 4: Calculate the reaction quotient

Q = 610/150 = 4.1

Since Q is significantly less than Kp, there are more reactants than products. Some reactants will convert into products, driving the reaction rightward.

Thus, the reaction will proceed forward, leading to the reduction of NiO to Ni.
