Answer:

( °F − 32) × 5/9 = °C

Explanation:

Also there is a mental calculation to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius. The ratio 5/9 is approximately equal 0.55555….

Subtract 32º to adapt the equivalent in the Fahrenheit scale.

Divide the degrees Celsius by 2 (multiply by 0.5).

Take 1/10 of this number (0.5 * 1/10 = 0.05) and add it to the number obtained previously.

Example: Convert 98.6º F to Centigrade.

98.6 - 32 = 66.6

66.6 * 1/2 = 33.3

33.3 * 1/10 = 3.3

33.3 + 3.3 = 36.6 which is an approximation in degrees Centigrade

5. What are the relative rates of diffusion for methane, CH, and oxygen, O2? If O2 la travels 1.00 m in a certain amount of time

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. Mathematically written as:

$\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$

We are given:

Molar mass of methane gas, m = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen gas,m' = 32 g/mol

By taking their ratio, we get:

$\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{m'}{m}}$

$\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{32}{16}}=1.4142$

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

If oxygen gas travels 1 meters in time t.

Rate of diffusion of oxygen = $d_{O_2}=\frac{1 m}{t}$

If methane gas travels travels in y meters in time t.

Rate of diffusion of methane= $d_{CH_4}=\frac{y }{t}$

$\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\frac{\frac{y }{t}}{\frac{1 m}{t}}=1.4142$

y = 1.4142 m

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.

Draw the aromatic compound toluene (methylbenzene). show all hydrogen atoms, including those on the ring.

Otrada [13]

Aromatic compound has continuous cyclic structure with( 4n+2)π electrons (Huckels rule), where n = 0,1,2…

Here number of pi electron are 6, where 4 from two double bond and 2 from nitrogen non-bonding electrons, hence it has total 6 pi electrons, therefore

6= ( 4n+2)π

4 = 4n

n =1

Hence it is an aromatic compound

Air at 25°C with a dew point of 10 °C enters a humidifier. The air leaving the unit has an absolute humidity of 0.07 kg of water

madreJ [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Temperature of dry bulb of air = $25^{o}C$

Dew point = $10^{o}C$ = (10 + 273) K = 283 K

At the dew point temperature, the first drop of water condenses out of air and then,

Partial pressure of water vapor $(P_{a})$ = vapor pressure of water at a given temperature $(P^{s}_{a})$

Using Antoine's equation we get the following.

$ln (P^{s}_{a}) = 16.26205 - \frac{3799.887}{T(K) - 46.854}$

$ln (P^{s}_{a}) = 16.26205 - \frac{3799.887}{283 - 46.854}$

= 0.17079

$P^{s}_{a}$ = 1.18624 kPa

As total pressure $(P_{t})$ = atmospheric pressure = 760 mm Hg

= 101..325 kPa

The absolute humidity of inlet air = $\frac{P^{s}_{a}}{P_{t} - P^{s}_{a}} \times \frac{18 kg H_{2}O}{29 \text{kg dry air}}$

$\frac{1.18624}{101.325 - 1.18624} \times \frac{18 kg H_{2}O}{29 \text{kg dry air}}$

= 0.00735 kg $H_{2}O$ / kg dry air

Hence, air leaving the humidifier has a has an absolute humidity (%) of 0.07 kg $H_{2}O$ / kg dry air.

Therefore, amount of water evaporated for every 1 kg dry air entering the humidifier is as follows.

0.07 kg - 0.00735 kg

= 0.06265 kg $H_{2}O$ for every 1 kg dry air

Hence, calculate the amount of water evaporated for every 100 kg of dry air as follows.

$0.06265 kg \times 100$

= 6.265 kg

Thus, we can conclude that kg of water the must be evaporated into the air for every 100 kg of dry air entering the unit is 6.265 kg.

How much heat is required to vaporize 31.5 gg of acetone (C3H6O)(C3H6O) at 25 ∘C∘C? The heat of vaporization for acetone at this

KiRa [710]

Answer:

≅ 16.81 kJ

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of acetone = 31.5 g

molar mass of acetone = 58.08 g/mol

heat of vaporization for acetone = 31.0 kJ/molkJ/mol.

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Number of moles of acetone = $\frac{31.5}{58.08}$

Number of moles of acetone = 0.5424 mole

The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone can be determined by multiplying the number of moles of acetone with the heat of vaporization of acetone;

Hence;

The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone = 0.5424 mole × 31.0 kJ/mol

The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone = 16.8144 kJ

≅ 16.81 kJ
