Answer:

The mean velocity is 13 ft/s.

The Reynolds number is 88,583 and it is dimensionless.

Explanation:

We have water flowing in a pipe of 1.05 in diameter.

The density is ρ=62.3 lb/ft and the viscosity is 1.2 cP.

The mean velocity can be calculated as

u=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{Q}{\pi*D^2/4}=\frac{35gpm }{3.14*(1.05in)^2/4}\\\\  u=\frac{35}{0.865}*\frac{gal}{min}\frac{1}{in^2}*\frac{231in^3}{1gal}*\frac{1}{60s} \\\\    u=156\,in/s=13\,ft/s

The Reynolds number now can be calculated for this flow as

Re=\frac{\rho*u*D}{\mu}

being ρ: density, u: mean velocity of the fluid, D: internal diameter of the pipe and μ the dynamic viscosity.

To simplify the calculation, we can first make all the variables have coherent units.

<em>Viscosity</em>

\mu=1.2cP=\frac{1.2}{100}\frac{g}{cm*s}*\frac{1lb}{453.6g}*\frac{30.48cm}{1ft}= 0.0008\frac{lb}{ft*s}

<em>Diameter</em>

D=1.05in*(\frac{1ft}{12in} )=0.0875ft

Then the Reynolds number is

Re=\frac{\rho*u*D}{\mu}\\\\Re=62.3\frac{lb}{ft^3}*13\frac{ft}{s} *0.0875ft*\frac{1}{0.0008}*\frac{ft*s}{lb}\\\\Re=88,583

According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?
4vir4ik [10]
Note: Above question is incomplete: Complete question is read as 
<span>According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?
</span>A) hydrogen ions B) hydroxyl ions C) Sodium ions D) Chloride ion
.....................................................................................................................
Correct answer for above question is A) Hydrogen ions

Reason:
According the Arrhenius theory of acid and base, acid generates hydrogen ions in aqueous medium, while bases generates hydroxyl ions in aqueous medium.  
Example of Acid:
HCl(aq)          →          H+(aq)    + Cl-(aq)

Example of Base:
NaOH(aq)           →          Na+(aq)       +     OH-(aq)

if an object has a mass of 60 grams in a volume of 120 cm3 then calculate the density would this object sink or float
Ivanshal [37]

Answer: 0.5 g/cm^3

Density equals mass divided by volume so..

60/120 is 0.5 g/cm^3
