How do scientists prevent the nonpolar perfluorocarbons

Chemistry
1 answer:
Pavel [41]3 years ago

Scientists prevent the nonpolar perfluorocarbons

in Oxygent from separating from the water by adding surfactant.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The  collection of oxygen from lungs and transporting it  all those tissues present in the human body and taking carbon dioxide back to lungs are the main functions of the hemoglobin. But, instead of this hemoglobin, When perfluorocarbons , a nonpolar chemical is used to perform the same function for the oxygen transportation, the nonpolar chemical may not mix well with the water when this perfluorocarbons is taken through a water-based saline .

For this purpose an addition of a chemical called surfactant is done. This will enhance the chemical bonding between the non polar chemical and water. The perfluorocarbons  spreads into some droplets and gets coated with this bonding substance. Thus it gets attached to the water.

The coefficient of performance (cop) of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of?
Vinvika [58]

The coefficient of performance (cop) of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of " the work necessary to heat or cool something usefully."

The usable heating or cooling delivered to work required ratio, also known as the coefficient of performance, or COP, of a heat pump, refrigerator, as well as air conditioning system. Higher efficiency, less energy (power) usage, and thus reduced operational costs are all related to higher COPs.

Coefficient of performance formula:

K = Q_{H} / W_{in}

where, K = Coefficient of performance, Q_{H} = heat of pumps output, W_{in} = work required by the system.

It is refrigeration's coefficient of performance (COP) will always be greater than 1.

Therefore, the coefficient of performance (cop) of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of " the work necessary to heat or cool something usefully."

The rate constant for a certain reaction is measured at two different temperatures:
Talja [164]

Answer: The activation energy Ea for this reaction is 22689.8 J/mol

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation with change in temperature, the formula is as follows.

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-E_{a}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}} - \frac{1}{T_{1}}]

k_1 = rate constant at temperature T_1 = 2.3\times 10^8

k_2 = rate constant at temperature T_2 = 4.8\times 10^8

E_a= activation energy = ?

R= gas constant = 8.314 J/kmol

T_1 = temperature = 280.0^0C=(273+280)=553K

T_2 = temperature = 376.0^0C=(273+376)=649K

Putting in the values ::

ln \frac{4.8\times 10^8}{2.3\times 10^8} = \frac{-E_{a}}{8.314}[\frac{1}{649} - \frac{1}{553}]

E_a=22689.8J/mol

The activation energy Ea for this reaction is 22689.8 J/mol
