Answer:

Much more UV radiation is absorbed and less reaches the Earth. UV levels are higher closer to the equator. Closer to the equator the sun's rays have a shorter distance to travel through the atmosphere and therefore less of the harmful UV radiation can be absorbed.

Explanation: Hope it helps you :)))))

At 80 degrees celsius the vapor pressure of benzene is 753 torr and that of toluene is 290 torr. What is the total pressure and

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The total pressure of the solution is 598.66 torr

while the vapor pressure of the components is vapor pressure of benzene is =502 torr and that of toluene = 96.6 tor

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to look at the known variables, the unknown variables, and then we select the appropriate relations between the known variables and the unknown

Here we have the temperature of the gases t = 80°C

the pressures of benzene = 753 torr

the pressures of toluene = 290 torr

mole fraction of benzene in solution = 2/3

mole fraction of toluene in solution = 1/3

the unknown variables = composition of the solution and the total pressure of the solution

From here given the known variables and the required variables, the appropriate relation bstween the known and unknown variables is Route's Law

Raoult's relates the vapor pressure of a mixture of gases to the mole fraction of solute gases introduced in the gas solution. Raoult's Law is expressed by the formula: Psolution = Χsolvent1×Psolvent1 + Χsolvent2×Psolvent2+ ... .

where. Psolution = vapor pressure of the solution and

Χsolvent1 = mole fraction of solvent 1

Psolvent1 = vapor pressure of solvent1

Thus we have by Raoult's Law

$P_{solution}$ = $X_{benzene}$ × $P_{benzene}$ + $X_{toluene}$ × $P_{toluene}$

which is =2/3×753 + 1/3×290 = 502 + 96.6 = 598.66 torr

and composition vapor pressure of benzene is 502 torr

while the composition vapor pressure of toluene is 96.6 torr

Calculate the final temperature of a mixture of 0.350 kg of ice initially at 218°C and 237 g of water initially at 100.0°C.

kramer

Answer:

115 ⁰C

Explanation:

Step 1: The heat needed to melt the solid at its melting point will come from the warmer water sample. This implies

$q_{1} +q_{2} =-q_{3}$ -----eqution 1

where,

$q_{1}$ is the heat absorbed by the solid at 0⁰C

$q_{2}$ is the heat absorbed by the liquid at 0⁰C

$q_{3}$ the heat lost by the warmer water sample

Important equations to be used in solving this problem

$q=m *c*\delta {T}$ , where -----equation 2

q is heat absorbed/lost

m is mass of the sample

c is specific heat of water, = 4.18 J/0⁰C

$\delta {T}$ is change in temperature

Again,

$q=n*\delta {_f_u_s}$ -------equation 3

where,

q is heat absorbed

n is the number of moles of water

tex]\delta {_f_u_s}[/tex] is the molar heat of fusion of water, = 6.01 kJ/mol

Step 2: calculate how many moles of water you have in the 100.0-g sample

$=237g *\frac{1 mole H_{2} O}{18g} = 13.167 moles of H_{2}O$

Step 3: calculate how much heat is needed to allow the sample to go from solid at 218⁰C to liquid at 0⁰C

$q_{1} = 13.167 moles *6.01\frac{KJ}{mole} = 79.13KJ$

This means that equation (1) becomes

79.13 KJ + $q_{2} = -q_{3}$

Step 4: calculate the final temperature of the water

$79.13KJ+M_{sample} *C*\delta {T_{sample}} =-M_{water} *C*\delta {T_{water}$

Substitute in the values; we will have,

$79.13KJ + 237*4.18\frac{J}{g^{o}C}*(T_{f}-218}) = -350*4.18\frac{J}{g^{o}C}*(T_{f}-100})$

79.13 kJ + 990.66J* $(T_{f}-218})$ = -1463J* $(T_{f}-100})$

Convert the joules to kilo-joules to get

79.13 kJ + 0.99066KJ* $(T_{f}-218})$ = -1.463KJ* $(T_{f}-100})$

$79.13 + 0.99066T_{f} -215.96388= -1.463T_{f}+146.3$

collect like terms,

2.45366 $T_{f}$ = 283.133

∴ $T_{f} =$ = 115.4 ⁰C

Approximately the final temperature of the mixture is 115 ⁰C

The free-fall acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s^2. What length of pendulum has a period of 1.0 s on Earth? What length of pendulum

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Free fall acceleration on mars $g_{m}=3.7\ m/s^2$

Time Period of pendulum on earth $T=1\ s$

Time period of Pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

for earth

$1=2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}$

$L=\frac{9.8}{(2\pi )^2}$

$L=0.498\ m$

(b)For same time period on mars length is given by

$L'=\frac{g_m}{(2\pi )^2}$

$L'=\frac{3.7}{39.48}$

$L'=0.0936\ m$

$L'=9.36\ cm$
