Thermal tissue burns due to contact of the skin with steam can be much more severe than those caused by contact with hot water. The following questions will explore why contact with steam is more injurious. The specific heat of tissue is 3500 J/(kg⋅∘C), the specific heat of water is 4186 J/(kg⋅∘C), and the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.26×106 J/kg. A) Why is the burn from 100∘C steam more severe than that from 100∘C water?B) If 10 g of steam at 100∘C condenses on a burn victim's skin and is cooled to 40 ∘C on his skin, how much heat is transferred from the water?C) If 10 g of steam at 100∘C condenses on a burn victim's skin and is cooled to 40 ∘C on his skin, and his skin was originally at 37∘C, how much skin was heated to the final temperature?

Calculate the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6. find the concentration of h+ ions to oh– ions listed in table b of your student guide. then divide the h+ concentration by the oh– concentration. record this calculated ratio in table a of your student guide. compare your approximated and calculated ratios of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6. are they the same? why or why not? record your explanation in table a. what is the concentration of h+ ions at a ph = 6? mol/l what is the concentration of oh– ions at a ph = 6? mol/l what is the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6? : 1

The great sandini is a 60.0-kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). you don’t find many men of his caliber, so you him design a new gun. this new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1100 n/m that he will compress with a force of 4400 n. the inside of the gun barrel is coated with teflon, so the average friction force will be only 40.0 n during the 4.00 m he moves in the barrel. at what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.50 m above his initial rest position?

Engines for propeller-driven aircraft are limited in their maximum rotational speed by the fact that the tip speed of the propeller must not approach the speed of sound in air (mach i). taking 6 ft as a typical diameter for a propeller of a light airplane and 1100 fils as the speed of sound, find the upper limit on the rpm (revolutions per minute) of the propeller shaft.
