A pot on the stove contains 200 g of water at 20°C. An unknown mass of ice that is originally at −10°C is placed in an identical

Mumz [18]

Answer:

a) The mass of the ice is smaller than the mass of the water

b) The ice reaches first 80°C ,

Explanation:

Since the heat Q that should be provided to ice

Q = sensible heat to equilibrium temperature (as ice) + latent heat + sensible heat until final temperature ( as water)

m ice * c ice * ( T equil -T initial ) + m ice* L + m ice* c water * ( T final - T equil)

and the heat Q that should be provided to water is

Q= m water * c water * ( T final - T equil )

since the rate of heat addition q = constant and the time t taken to reach the final temperature is the same , then the heat absorbed Q=q*t is the same for both, therefore

m water * c water * ( T final - T equil ) = m ice* [c ice *( T equil -T initial ) + L + c water * ( T final - T equil)]

m water/ m ice = [c ice * ( T equil -T initial ) + L + c water * ( T final - T equil)]/ [ c water * ( T final - T equil)]

m water/ m ice = [c ice * ( T equil -T initial ) + L ]/[c water * ( T final - T equil) ] + 1

since [c ice * ( T equil -T initial ) + L ]/[c water * ( T final - T equil) ] >0 , then

m water/ m ice > 1

m water > m ice

so the mass of ice is smaller that the mass of water

b) Since the heat Q that should be provided to the ice, starting from 55°C mass would be

Q ice= m ice * c water * ( T final2 - T final1 )

and for the water mass

Q water = m water * c water * ( T final2 - T final1 )

dividing both equations

Q water / Q ice = m water / m ice >1

thus

Q water > Q ice

since the heat addition rate is constant

Q water = q* t water and Q ice=q* t ice

therefore

q* t water > q* t ice

t water > t ice

so the time that takes to reach 80°C is higher for water , thus the ice mass reaches it first.

The rms (root-mean-square) speed of a diatomic hydrogen molecule at 50∘C is 2000 m/s. Note that 1.0 mol of diatomic hydrogen at

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

A) d. (1/4)(2000m/s) = 500 m/s

B) c. 4000 J

C) f. None of the above (2149.24 m/s)

Explanation:

The translational kinetic energy of a gas molecule is given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 1^-23 J/K

T = Absolute Temperature

but,

K.E = (1/2) mv²

where,

v = root mean square velocity

m = mass of one mole of a gas

Comparing both equations:

(3/2)KT = (1/2) mv²

v = √(3KT)/m _____ eqn (1)

FOR HYDROGEN:

v = √(3KT)/m = 2000 m/s _____ eqn (2)

FOR OXYGEN:

velocity of oxygen = √(3KT)/(mass of oxygen)

Here,

mass of 1 mole of oxygen = 16 m

velocity of oxygen = √(3KT)/(16 m)

velocity of oxygen = (1/4) √(3KT)/m

using eqn (2)

velocity of oxygen = (1/4)(2000 m/s) = 500 m/s

K.E = (3/2)KT

Since, the temperature is constant for both gases and K is also a constant. Therefore, the K.E of both the gases will remain same.

K.E of Oxygen = K.E of Hydrogen

K.E of Oxygen = 4000 J

using eqn (2)

At, T = 50°C = 323 k

v = √(3KT)/m = 2000 m/s

m = 3(1.38^-23 J/k)(323 k)/(2000 m/s)²

m = 3.343 x 10^-27 kg

So, now for this value of m and T = 100°C = 373 k

v = √(3)(1.38^-23 J/k)(373 k)/(3.343 x 10^-27 kg)

v = 2149.24 m/s

Find the wavelength λ of the 80.0-khz wave emitted by the bat. express your answer in millimeters.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

4.29 millimeters

Explanation:

Bats emit ultrasound waves: in air, ultrasound waves travel at a speed of

$v=343 m/s$

The frequency of the waves emitted by this bat is:

$f=80.0 kHz = 80,000 Hz$

Therefore we can find the wavelength of the wave emitted by the bat by using the relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343 m/s}{80,000 Hz}=4.29\cdot 10^{-3} m=4.29 mm$

Derive the kinetic equations for Vmax and KM using the transit time and net rate constant method as discussed in class and follo

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Rate = vmax k3/k2+k3

Explanation:

The rate of reaction when the enzyme is saturated with substrate is the maximum rate of reaction, is referred to as Vmax.

This is usually expressed as the Km ie. Michaelis constant of the enzyme, an inverse measure of affinity. For practical purposes, Km is the concentration of substrate which permits the enzyme to achieve half Vmax.

Please kindly check attachment for the step by step solution of the given problem.
