- 8.36 grams of a mystery substance of food with a molar mass of 149.36 g/mol is burned in a bomb calorimeter. The water in the bomb calorimeter absorbs 105,961 Joules from the burning of the substance. Calculate the heat of combustion of the mystery substance in kJ/mol. (Please input your answer as a negative number.) (DO NOT PUT UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER.) Assume that all of the heat lost by the substance is transferred to the water and no heat is lost to the surroundings.arrow_forwardPotassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment (and thus our bodies) as three isotopes: Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Their current abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%. A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass. How much Potassium-40 is present in a person with a mass of 80 kg? If, on average, the decay of Potassium-40 results in 1.10 MeV of energy absorbed, determine the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80-kg body. Assume an RBE of 1.2.
