The african bombardier beetle stenaptinus insignis can emit a jet of defensive spray from the moveable tip of its abdomen. the beetle's body has reservoirs of two different chemicals; when the beetle is disturbed, these chemicals are combined in a reaction chamber, producing a compound that is warmed from 20°c to 100°c by the heat of reaction. the high pressure produced allows the compound to be sprayed out at speeds up to 19m/s (68km/h), scaring away predators of all kinds. (the beetle shown in the figure is tethered to a wire fastened to its back by wax. it is responding to having its left foreleg pinched by forceps. the beetle is 2cm long.)calculate the heat of reaction of the two chemicals. assume that the specific heat capacity of the two chemicals and the spray is the same as that of water, 4.19×10³ j/kg⋅k, and that the initial temperature of the chemicals is 20°c.

Mass (kg) force (n) 5 25 10 50 15 75 20 100 a student was trying to find the relationship between mass and force. he placed four different masses on a table and pulled them using a spring scale. the table shows the different masses used in the experiment and the force required to pull each mass. the student concluded that more force was required to pull heavier objects. what comment would you make regarding his conclusion? a) no clear relation can be observed between mass and force from the data. b) there is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table. c) gravity should have been taken into account while performing the experiment. d) there is an inverse proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.
