Explain why air is not a good conductor of heat.

In a gas molecules have to scatter off molecules to exchange energy in larger distances, so the probability of transfer is much smaller. Air is a bad conductor because, to conduct heat current molecules should absorb heat and transmit it to neighbor by vibrating.

Because It Is not a medal or any type of solid like gas can't conduct heat so air does not get hot it is just waves of heat like "Cold air" is just the area you are in and it could be a cold front

Part b if you had a high-energy xenon particle beam and wanted to make gold, what element would you bombard? ? +143 54xe→197 79a
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The missing reactant is Mn^{55} _{25}  55/25Mn

Explanation:

asumming the missing reagent is A/Z X

In nuclear reaction , the sum of atomic number and mass number of on both sides musst be equal

Thus ,

Z + 54 = 79 + 0

Z = 25

The element with atomic number 25 is Mn

A + 143 = 197 +1

A = 55

Therefore, the missing reagent is 55/25Mn

An evaporation–crystallization process of the type described in Example 4.5-2 is used to obtain solid potassium sulfate from an
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

feed = 220.77 kg/s; maximum production rate of solid crystal = 416 kg/s; the rate of supplying fresh feed to obtain the production rate = 1.6

Explanation:

Material or mass balance can be used to estimate the mass flow rates of all the streams in the diagram shown in the attached file.

Overall balance: M_{1} = 175 + 11M_{2}

Water: 0.804M_{1} = 175 + 0.6M_{2}

Using substitution method, we have:

M_{1} = 220.77 kg/s

M_{2}  = 4.16 kg/s

The maximum production rate of solid crystal is 10M_{2} = 10*4.16 = 416 kg/s

Around evaporator:

0.45M_{5} = 175

M_{5} = 175/0.45 = 389 kg/s

Around the mixing point:

M_{1} + M_{3} = M_{4} + M_{5}

Solid crystal: 0.196M_{1} + 0.4M_{3} = M_{4}

Using the last two equations, we can obtain:

0.804M_{1} + 0.6M_{3} = M_{5}

0.6M_{3} = 389 - 0.804*220.77 = 389 - 177.5 = 211.5

M_{3} = 211.5/0.6 = 352.5 kg/s

The rate of supplying fresh feed to obtain the production rate is:

\frac{M_{3}}{M_{1}} = 352.5/220.77 = 1.6
