The coefficient of performance (cop) of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of?

1 answer:

3 0

The coefficient of performance (cop) of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of " the work necessary to heat or cool something usefully."

The usable heating or cooling delivered to work required ratio, also known as the coefficient of performance, or COP, of a heat pump, refrigerator, as well as air conditioning system. Higher efficiency, less energy (power) usage, and thus reduced operational costs are all related to higher COPs.

Coefficient of performance formula:

$K = Q_{H} / W_{in}$

where, K = Coefficient of performance, $Q_{H}$ = heat of pumps output, $W_{in}$ = work required by the system.

It is refrigeration's coefficient of performance (COP) will always be greater than 1.

Therefore, the coefficient of performance (cop) of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of " the work necessary to heat or cool something usefully."

Noble Gases (18): (Name all noble gases)

Paul [167]

Answer :

The Noble gasses are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn).

When air is cold, Oxygen liquefies first at $-182^oC$ . $N_2$ liquefies at $-195^oC$ . About 1% of the air is still gas composed of the noble gas Argon, Ar.
One noble gas was discovered on the sun. It’s spectrum was identify first. This is Helium, He.

If 16.29 grams of Na2SO4 is mixed with 3.697 grams of C and allowed to react according to the balanced equation: Na2SO4(aq) + 4

abruzzese [7]

Answer: The limiting reagent in the given chemical reaction is carbon metal.

Explanation:

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in large amount in a chemical reaction.

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in small amount in a chemical reaction. Formation of product depends on the limiting reagent.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For sodium sulfate:

Given mass of sodium sulfate = 16.29 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfate = 142 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of sodium sulfate}=\frac{16.29g}{142g/mol}=0.115mol$

For carbon:

Given mass of carbon = 3.697 g

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon}=\frac{3.697g}{12g/mol}=0.31mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Na_2SO_4(aq.)+4C(s)\rightarrow Na_2S(s)+4CO(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of carbon reacts with 1 mole of sodium sulfate

So, 0.31 moles of carbon will react with = $\frac{1}{4}\times 0.31=0.0775mol$ of sodium sulfate

As, given amount of sodium sulfate is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, carbon metal is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reagent in the given chemical reaction is carbon metal.

Which statement best describes an igneous intrusion?

Andrew [12]

D. Magma is injected into surrounding rock forming an igneous intrusion.

Igneous intrusion forms when magma from under the surface of the earth is slowly pushed up to occupy spaces or cracks found among rocks and cools down and solidifies before it reaches the surface of the earth.
