Water is being pumped from the bottom of a well 150 feet deep at a rate of 200 gal/hour into a vented storage tank 30 feet above
1 answer:
Explanation:
As the given data is as follows.
Height, H = 150 feet
Heat gain = 30,000 BTU/hr, and Heat loss = 25000 BTU/hr
m = mass of water heated = 700 gallons = 5810 lbs
is the heat capacity of water = 1 BTU/lb
(given)
= temperature difference =
Heat energy required to heat 700 gal can be calculated as follows:
Heat Required =
Thus, water rises till .

Answer:
The system is not in equilibrium and will evolve left to right to reach equilibrium.
Explanation:
The reaction quotient Qc is defined for a generic reaction:
aA + bB → cC + dD
where the concentrations are not those of equilibrium, but other given concentrations
Chemical Equilibrium is the state in which the direct and indirect reaction have the same speed and is represented by a constant Kc, which for a generic reaction as shown above, is defined:
where the concentrations are those of equilibrium.
This constant is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.
Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:
- If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.
- If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.
- If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.
In this case:
Q=100,000
100,000 < 4,300,000 (4.3*10⁶)
Q < Kc
