An element has two naturally occurring isotopes, isotope 1 with an atomic weight of 78.918 amu and isotope 2 with an atomic weig

ht of 80.916 amu. If the average atomic weight for the element is 79.903 amu, calculate the fraction of occurrences of these two isotopes.

Answer:

The fraction of isotope 1 is 50.7 % and fraction  fraction of isotope 1 is 49.2 %.

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of isotope 1 = 78.918 amu

Weight of isotope 2 = 80.916 amu

Average atomic weight= 79.903 amu

Lets take fraction of isotope 1 is x then fraction of isotope 2 will be 1-x.

The total weight will be summation of these two isotopes

79.903 = 78.918 x + 80.916(1-x)

By solving above equation

80.916 - 79.903 = (80.916-78.918) x

   x=0.507

So the fraction of isotope 1 is 50.7 % and fraction  fraction of isotope 1 is 49.2 %.

Answer: the mass flow rate of concentrated brine out of the process is 46,666.669 kg/hr

Explanation:

F, W and B are the fresh feed, brine and total water obtained

w = 2 x 10^4 L/h

we know that

F = W + B

we substitute

F = 2 x 10^4 + B

F = 20000 + B .................EQUA 1

solute

0.035F = 0.05B

B = 0.035F/0.05

B = 0.7F

now we substitute value of B in equation 1

F = 20000 + 0.7F

0.3F = 20000

F = 20000/0.3

F = 66666.67 kg/hr

B = 0.7F

B = 0.7 * F

B = 0.7 * 66666.67

B = 46,666.669 kg/hr

the mass flow rate of concentrated brine out of the process is 46,666.669 kg/hr

In places with cold winters, space heating systems have a fundamental role in buildings. Without them, indoor temperatures would quickly become unsuitable for human occupancy. The local weather is one of the most important factors when designing a heating system; if two identical buildings are developed in Miami FL and New York City, the heating load will be much higher for the NYC property.

One AA battery in a flashlight stores 9400 J. The three LED flashlight bulbs consume 0.5 W. How many hours will the flashlight l
Effectus [21]

Answer:

time = 5.22 hr

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy of battery = 9400 J

Power consumed by three led bulb is 0.5 watt

we know Power is give as

Power = \frac{ energy}{time}

plugging all value and solve for time

time = \frac{energy}{power}

time = \frac{9400}{0.5}

time = 18,800 sec

in hour

1 hour = 3600 sec

therefore in 18,800 sec

time = \frac{18800}{3600} = 5.22 hr
