It is a true fact that ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. Salt is a great example of ionic crystals and we know that it takes a huge amount of time to melt or boil.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
the temperature
= 250 °C= ( 250+ 273.15 ) K = 523.15 K
Pressure = 1800 kPa
a)
The truncated viral equation is expressed as:

where; B = -
C = -5800 
R = 8.314 × 10³ cm³ kPa. K⁻¹.mol⁻¹
Plugging all our values; we have


Multiplying through with V² ; we have


V = 2250.06 cm³ mol⁻¹
Z = 
Z = 
Z = 0.931
b) The truncated virial equation [Eq. (3.36)], with a value of B from the generalized Pitzer correlation [Eqs. (3.58)–(3.62)].
The generalized Pitzer correlation is :












The compressibility is calculated as:


Z = 0.9386


V = 2268.01 cm³ mol⁻¹
c) From the steam tables (App. E).
At 
V = 0.1249 m³/ kg
M (molecular weight) = 18.015 gm/mol
V = 0.1249 × 10³ × 18.015
V = 2250.07 cm³/mol⁻¹
R = 729.77 J/kg.K
Z = 
Z = 
Z = 0.588
Explanation:
Scientist use trees a whole lot to look at climate of the past by examining tree rings.
These are layers of cambium in each successive years formed. They have an annual growth pattern and are known as tree rings.
Tree rings can be used to decipher the age of a tree.
- These three rings can be used to interpret climatic patterns.
- During a wet climate, the tree rings are more robust and bigger.
- In a dry climate, the rings are thinner.
- These alternating patterns can be used to decipher the climatic signatures in a tree.
- Sometimes, it is possible to evaluate some certain isotopes that are useful in climatic studies.
