Why is it important to know what temperature scale is being used in a given situation?

1 answer:

4 0

It depends, for example, it is quite important to know the Kelvin scale (i.e 0 degrees Celsius is 273 K and -273 degrees Celsius is 0 K ) when dealing gases. But I don't know other situations where you would need to know other temperature scales.

Hope this helps and also if you are using Fahrenheit 1 Fahrenheit is -17.22 degrees Celsius

Wastewater discharged into a stream by a sugar refinery contains 3.40 g of sucrose (C12H22O11) per liter. A government-industry

Ipatiy [6.2K]

<u>Answer:</u> The pressure that must be applied to the apparatus is 0.239 atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the osmotic pressure, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{m_{solute}}{M_{solute}\times V_{solution}\text{ (in L)}}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

$m_{solute}$ = mass of sucrose = 3.40 g

$M_{solute}$ = molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

$V_{solution}$ = Volume of solution = 1 L

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $20^oC=[20+273]K=293K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\pi =1\times \frac{3.40g}{342.3g/mol\times 1}\times 0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 293K\\\\\pi =0.239atm$

Hence, the pressure that must be applied to the apparatus is 0.239 atm

What characteristic bright line spectrum of an elementforced when electrons?

emmasim [6.3K]

The characteristic bright-line spectrum of an element is produced when its electrons return to lower energy levels To be in the ground state all electrons must be in their lowest energy state; all excited atoms must lose energy. The lost energy appears in the form of light. Hope this helped :)
