2.460 is the specific heat of ethyl alcohol in J/gC, so I will find joules and then convert to calories.

q(joules) = mass*specific heat*change in temp.

q = (13 g alcohol )(2.460 J/gC)(23 C - 11 C)

= 383.76 joules (1 calorie/4.184 joules)

= 92 calories

How many ounces of a 25 percent alcohol solution must be mixed with 9 ounces of a 30 percent alcohol solution to make a 28 percent alcohol solution?

Let a be the number of ounces of 25% alcohol required. Then, 25a + (30x9) = 28(9 + a) 25a + 270 = 252 + 28a 3a = 18 a = 6 Then 6 ounces of 25% alcohol + 9 ounces of 30% alcohol produces 15 ounces of 28% alcohol.


How many toilets required for a venue with capacity of 600 people?

The number of toilets required for a venue with a capacity of 600 people can vary depending on local regulations and event type. However, a common guideline suggests one toilet for every 50 people for events lasting up to four hours. This would mean at least 12 toilets are needed for a venue of 600 people. For longer events or if alcohol is served, it may be advisable to increase this number to ensure adequate facilities.
