Answer:

The convection is a process by which heat energy can be transferred from one place to another through a medium. This process takes place in the liquid and air medium.

This process occurs in the atmosphere and in the mantle portion of the earth.

In the atmospheric region, the land area gets heated up due to the absorption of incoming solar radiation, as a result of which the air near the ground surface is heated up and becomes warm and less dense. This warm air then rises up into the upper portion carrying the heat energy from the lower region to the upper region. As the air rises upward, it cools down because of the lowering temperature and eventually falls back to the lower portion. This results in the formation of convection cells.

Similarly, in the layer of the mantle, convection currents are formed that carry the heat energy from the core of the earth towards the surface.

This is how energy is transferred by the process of conduction.

The field of energy is wide and interesting due to it can be expressed by differents way.

The thermal energy is associated like internal energy of the atoms or molecules of a substance. The transfer of thermal energy as heat can take place via convection.

Convection via is the transfer of thermal energy due to the motion of the substance that contains the thermal energy.

A solution was prepared by dissolving 195.0 g of KCl in 215 g of water. Calculate the mole fraction of KCl. (The formula weight

defon

Answer:

Approximately $0.180$ .

Explanation:

The mole fraction of a compound in a solution is:

$\displaystyle \frac{\text{Number of moles of compound in question}}{\text{Number of moles of all particles in the solution}}$ .

In this question, the mole fraction of $\rm KCl$ in this solution would be:

$\displaystyle X_\mathrm{KCl} = \frac{n(\mathrm{KCl})}{n(\text{All particles in this soluton})}$ .

This solution consist of only $\rm KCl$ and water (i.e., $\rm H_2O$ .) Hence:

$\begin{aligned} X_\mathrm{KCl} &= \frac{n(\mathrm{KCl})}{n(\text{All particles in this soluton})}\\ &= \frac{n(\mathrm{KCl})}{n(\mathrm{KCl}) + n(\mathrm{H_2O})}\end{aligned}$ .

From the question:

Mass of $\rm KCl$ : $m(\mathrm{KCl}) = 195.0\; \rm g$ .
Molar mass of $\rm KCl$ : $M(\mathrm{KCl}) = 74.6\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Mass of $\rm H_2O$ : $m(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 215\; \rm g$ .
Molar mass of $\rm H_2O$ : $M(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 18.0\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Apply the formula $\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M}$ to find the number of moles of $\rm KCl$ and $\rm H_2O$ in this solution.

$\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{KCl}) &= \frac{m(\mathrm{KCl})}{M(\mathrm{KCl})} \\ &= \frac{195.0\; \rm g}{74.6\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 2.61\; \em \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{H_2O}) &= \frac{m(\mathrm{H_2O})}{M(\mathrm{H_2O})} \\ &= \frac{215\; \rm g}{18.0\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 11.9\; \em \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

The molar fraction of $\rm KCl$ in this solution would be:

$\begin{aligned} X_\mathrm{KCl} &= \frac{n(\mathrm{KCl})}{n(\text{All particles in this soluton})}\\ &= \frac{n(\mathrm{KCl})}{n(\mathrm{KCl}) + n(\mathrm{H_2O})} \\ &\approx \frac{2.61 \; \rm mol}{2.61\; \rm mol + 11.9\; \rm mol} \approx 0.180\end{aligned}$ .

Why in anaerobic conditions is nadh oxidized by lactate dehydrogenase.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

It is in the oxidation of NADH to NAD + that lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) plays an important role. LDH catalyzes the following reaction The lactate then diffuses out of the cell and the NAD + is used to continue glycolysis.It is in this manner that the cell continues to produce energy under anerobic conditions.

A gas has a volume of 5.00 L at 20.0oC. If the gas is compressed to 4.0 L, what is the new temperature of the gas in Kelvin?

Tatiana [17]

Answer: 234.4K

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas (V1) = 5.00 L

Original temperature of gas (T1) = 20.0°C

[Convert 20.0°C to Kelvin by adding 273

20.0°C + 273 = 293K]

New volume of gas (V2) = 4.0L

New temperature of gas (T2) = ?

Since volume and temperature are given while pressure is held constant, apply the formula for Charle's law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

5.00L/293K = 4.0L/T2

To get the value of T2, cross multiply

5.00L x T2 = 293K x 4.0L

5.00L•T2 = 1172L•K

Divide both sides by 5.00L

5.00L•T2/5.00L = 1172L•K/5.00L

T2 = 234.4K

Thus, the new temperature of the gas is 234.4 Kelvin

Given the following rate equation, complete the sentences to identify the reaction order for each reagent, the overall reaction

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

1. First

2. Third

3. Fourth

4.remain the same as

Explanation:

Given the reaction equation;

Rate= k[A] [B]^3

We can see that the order of reaction is first order with respect to reactant A and third order with respect to reactant B. This gives an overall fourth order reaction.

If the concentration of A is doubled and that of B is halved. The rate of reaction remains the same.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP:!!!!What characteristics of water make it essential for life and a useful chemical in the formation of soluti

Sliva [168]

Special properties of water are its high heat capacity and heat of vaporization, its ability to dissolve polar molecules, its cohesive and adhesive properties, and its dissociation into ions that leads to generating pH. Understanding these characteristics of water helps to elucidate its importance in maintaining life.
