Saturated hydrocarbons with what length of carbon chain are the best lubricants?

Chemistry
1 answer:
hammer [34]3 years ago
3 0
For the answer to the question above, the best lubricant has around 17-35 saturated hydrocarbons. Lubricants can either be liquid (oils) or solid (grease). Oils typically have 15-20 carbon atom chains, while grease has 20-35 carbon atoms chains. This means that both lubricant types fall under the range 17-37.

For the conversion of ice to water at 0°C and 1 atm,1.ΔG is negative,ΔH is negative, and ΔS is positive.2.ΔG is zero, ΔH is posi
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

2. ΔG is zero, ΔH is positive, and ΔS is positive

Explanation:

When the ice is being converted to water ate 0ºC and 1 atm, there is an equilibrium between the solid and the liquid. At the equilibrium point, ΔG (the free energy) is zero. It is negative for spontaneous reactions and positive for nonspontaneous reactions.

For the phase change happens, the ice must absorb heat from the surroundings, so it's an endothermic reaction, and because of that ΔH (the enthalpy) must be positive. It is negative for exothermic reactions.

In the liquid state, the molecules have more energy and the randomness is higher than the solid-state. The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness, so if it's increasing, ΔS must be positive.

A rock is believed to have been formed 1.25 billion years ago, as calculated by using potassium-40 dating. If the half-life of p
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

50 % of the original amount of potassium 40 will be left after one half life or 1.25 billion years

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that the half life is the time for half of the quantity of  substance that undergoes radioactive decay to  disintegrate, thus

we have

half life of potassium 40 K₄₀ = 1.25 billion years

To support the believe tht the rock was formed 1.25 billion years ago we have

N_{(t)} =N_{(0)} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2} } } }

After 1.25 billion years we have

N_{(t)} =N_{(0)} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{\frac{1.25billion}{1.25 billion}  } } }  = N_{(t)} =N_{(0)} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{1 } } } =0.5 of N_{(0)} will be left or 50 % of the original amount of potassium 40 will be left
