A balloon contains 2.3 mol of helium at 1.0 atm , initially at 240 ∘C. What's the initial volume? What's the volume after the ga

s cools at constant pressure to 14 ∘C? How much work does the gas do in this process?

A) initial volume
We can calculate the initial volume of the gas by using the ideal gas law:
p_i V_i = nRT_i
where
p_i=1.0 atm=1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa is the initial pressure of the gas
V_i is the initial volume of the gas
n=2.3 mol is the number of moles
R=8.31 J/K mol is the gas constant
T_i=240^{\circ}C=513 K is the initial temperature of the gas

By re-arranging this equation, we can find V_i:
V_i =  \frac{nRT_i}{p_i} = \frac{(2.3 mol)(8.31 J/mol K)(513 K)}{1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa}=0.097 m^3

2) Now the gas cools down to a temperature of
T_f = 14^{\circ}C=287 K
while the pressure is kept constant: p_f = p_i = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa, so we can use again the ideal gas law to find the new volume of the gas
V_f =  \frac{nRT_f}{p_f}= \frac{(2.3 mol)(8.31 J/molK)(287 K)}{1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa} = 0.054 m^3

3) In a process at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is equal to the product between the pressure and the difference of volume:
W=p \Delta V= p(V_f -V_i)
by using the data we found at point 1) and 2), we find
W=p(V_f -V_i)=(1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.054 m^3-0.097 m^3)=-4343 J
where the negative sign means the work is done by the surrounding on the gas.

Ocean waves are hitting a beach with a frequency of 0.100 Hz. Their average wavelength is 15.0 m. What is their average speed?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Average speed=1.5 m/s

Frequency of pendulum=93.75Hz

Explanation:

We are given

Frequency, f=0.100Hz

Average wavelength =\lambda=15m

Speed of pendulum, v=30m/s

Wavelength, \lambda'=0.32m

We have to find the average speed and frequency of pendulum.

We know that

Speed,v=\lambda f

Using the formula

Average speed,v=15\times 0.1=1.5m/s

Hence, the average speed =1.5m/s

Frequency, f=\frac{v}{\lambda'}

Using the formula

f=\frac{30}{0.32}

f=93.75Hz

Hence, the frequency of a pendulum=93.75Hz

Calculate the force it would take to accelerate a 250 kg motorcycle at a rate of 5 m/s2
Sphinxa [80]

Force = mass x acceleration

Mass is given to be 250kg

Acceleration is given to be 5m/s^2

Force = 250kg x 5m/s^2 = 1,250 kgm/s^2 = 1,250 Newtons

You push against a steamer trunk with a force of 800 n at an angle alpha with the horizontal . the trunk is on a flat floor and
galina1969 [7]
The formula for this problem that we will be using is:
F * cos α = m * g * μs where:F = 800m = 87g = 9.8
cos α = m*g*μs/F= 87*9.8*0.55/800= 0.59 So solving the alpha, find the arccos above.
α = arccos 0.59 = 54 ° is the largest value of alpha
