Answer:
Forensic drug chemists analyze samples of unknown materials including powders, liquids and stains to determine the chemical identity or characteristics of the compounds that make up the sample. samples submitted as evidence in a drug-related case can contain one compound or a mixture of many compounds.
It has to do with the releasing of ethylene, which speeds up the ripening process
Answer:
37.1°C.
Explanation:
- Firstly, we need to calculate the amount of heat (Q) released through this reaction:
<em>∵ ΔHsoln = Q/n</em>
no. of moles (n) of NaOH = mass/molar mass = (2.5 g)/(40 g/mol) = 0.0625 mol.
<em>The negative sign of ΔHsoln indicates that the reaction is exothermic.</em>
∴ Q = (n)(ΔHsoln) = (0.0625 mol)(44.51 kJ/mol) = 2.78 kJ.
Q = m.c.ΔT,
where, Q is the amount of heat released to water (Q = 2781.87 J).
m is the mass of water (m = 55.0 g, suppose density of water = 1.0 g/mL).
c is the specific heat capacity of water (c = 4.18 J/g.°C).
ΔT is the difference in T (ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = final temperature - 25°C).
∴ (2781.87 J) = (55.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C)(final temperature - 25°C)
∴ (final temperature - 25°C) = (2781.87 J)/(55.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C) = 12.1.
<em>∴ final temperature = 25°C + 12.1 = 37.1°C.</em>
