A glass tube contains mercury. What would be the height of the column of mercury which would create pressure equal to 1.00 atm

1 answer:

7 0

Since 1.00 atm is equal to 760 mmHg, the height of the column of mercury which would create pressure equal to 1.00 atm is 760 mm or 76 cm

<h3>What are the units of pressure?</h3>

Pressure is defined as the force acting perpendicularly per unit area of a surface.

The units of pressure include;

millimetres of mercury, mmHg
aatmospheres, atm,
pascals, Pa
Newtons per square metre, N/m^2

1 atmosphere is equal to 760 mmHg.

Therefore, the height of the column of mercury which would create pressure equal to 1.00 atm is 760 mm or 76 cm

find the volume of an item using a scale and waterA crown made of alloy of gold and silver has a volume of 60cm3and mass of 1050

KiRa [710]

Answer:

The mass of gold in crown is 960.61 g.And the volume of gold is $49.77 cm^3$ .

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass of the substance present in unit volume of the substance.

Mass of gold in an alloy of crown= m

Mass of silver in an alloy of crown = M

Volume gold in an alloy of crown= v

Volume of silver in an alloy of crown = V

Density of gold = $19.3 g/cm^3$

Density of silver = $10.5 g/cm^3$

Volume of the crown = $60 cm^3$

$60 cm^3=v+V$

$60 cm^3=\frac{m}{19.3 g/cm^3}+\frac{M}{10.5 g/cm^3}$ ..(1)

Mass of eh crown = 1050 g

$1050g =m+M$ ..(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2):

m = 960.61 g

M = 89.39 g

Volume of the gold = v = $\frac{960.61 g}{19.3 g/cm^3}=49.77 cm^3$

Volume of silver = V = $60 cm^3-v=60 cm63-49.77 cm63=10.23 cm^3$

The mass of gold in crown is 960.61 g.And the volume of gold is $49.77 cm^3$ .

Could ethanol vapor collect in low spots?

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Denatured ethanol fuel is a polar solvent, which is soluble in water. A

Polar solvent is a compound with a charge separation in chemical bonds, such as alcohol, most acids, or ammonia. These have affinity with water and will dissolve easily. Denatured fuel ethanol has a flash point of -5 ° F and a vapor density of 1.5, indicating that it is heavier than air.

Consequently, ethanol vapors do not rise, similar to the gasoline vapors they are looking for lower altitudes. The specific gravity of denatured fuel ethanol is 0.79, which indicates that it is lighter than water and has a self-ignition temperature of 709 ° F and a boiling point of 165-175 ° F. Like gasoline, the most denatured fuel, the greatest danger of ethanol as an engine fuel component is its flammability.

It has a wider flammable range than gasoline (LEL is 3% and UEL is 19%).

How are the following aspects of a reaction affected by the addition of a catalyst? 1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

snow_tiger [21]

These are four questions and four answers.

Answers:

1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

b. Decreased

2) Rate of the forward reaction

a. Increased

3) Rate of the reverse reaction

a. Increased

4) Activation energy of the forward reaction

b. decreased

Explanation:

Activarion energy is the energy required by the reactants to form the intermediate transition state and become products.

Catalysts are substances that change the path of the chemical reactions, lowering the activation energy, and thus speeding up the rate of the reactions, since the products can reach the new lower activation energy faster.

The equilibrium reactions are the chemical process in which two reactions, the forward and the reverese reactions, occur simultaneously and at the same rate. The equlibrium reactions may be represented by:

A ⇄ B

Where A → B is the direct or forward reaction, and A ← B is the reverse reaction (note the inversed arrow, from right to left).

For the direct reaction A represents the reactants and B represents the products. On the other hand, B represents the reactants and A represents the reactants of the reverse reaction and A. This, is A is the reactant of the forward reaction and the product of the reverse reaction, while B is the reactant of the reverse reaction and the product of the forward reaction.

Since, the addition of a catalyst lowers the activation energy of the process, the new activation energy is lower for both the forward and the reverse reaction, meaning that:

1. The activation energy of the reverse reaction is decreased (option b. of the first question)

2. The rate of the forward reaction is increased (option a. of the second question)

3. The rate of the reverse reaction is increased (option a. of the third question).

4. Activation energy of the forward reaction is decreased (option b. of the fourth question).

In summary, the addition of a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both forward and reverse reactions, and increases the rate of both forward and reverse reactions.
