Explanation:

Given that:

Distance traveled = 3150m

Average speed = 350m/min

Suggested speed = 375m/min

Unknown:

Time = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

  it is mathematically expressed as;

     speed = \frac{distance }{time}

Initial time using speed 350m/min can be calculated by making time the subject of the formula;

     time taken = \frac{distance }{speed}

    time taken at speed of speed of 350m/min = \frac{3150}{350} = 9min

   to seconds = 9 x 60 = 540 seconds

  time taken at speed of 375m/min = \frac{3150}{375} = 8.4min

   to seconds = 8.4 x 60 = 504 seconds.

It could have taken 504 seconds sooner saving 36 seconds.

A student has a balloon that looks shiny like a metal and wants to perform an experiment to determine if it contains any metal.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Charge the balloon, hold it near an electroscope, and determine if the electroscope leaves move.

Explanation:

The gold leaf electroscope is an instrument used to detect if a body is charged. It has two gold leafs suspended from a brass stem in a vacuumed glass jar and connected to a metal cap(Toppr).

When the test body is allowed to touch the metal cap, a change in the size of the leaves shows whether the body is charged or not.

Since we are suspecting the balloon to be made up of a metal; metals can be charged. We can test if there is really a charge on the balloon by bringing it near an electroscope to see if the electroscope moves.

A gas contains 75.0 wt% methane, 10.0% ethane, 5.0% ethylene, and the balance water. (a) Calculate the molar composition of this
NeTakaya

Answer:

a)  molar composition of this gas on both a wet and a dry basis are

5.76 moles and 5.20 moles respectively.

Ratio of moles of water to the moles of dry gas =0.108 moles

b) Total air required = 68.51 kmoles/h

So, if combustion is 75% complete; then it is termed as incomplete combustion which require the same amount the same amount of air but varying product will be produced.

Explanation:

Let assume we have 100 g of mixture of gas:

Given that :

Mass of methane =75 g

Mass of ethane = 10 g

Mass of ethylene = 5 g

∴ Mass of the balanced water: 100 g - (75 g + 10 g + 5 g)

Their molar composition can be calculated as follows:

Molar mass of methane CH_4}= 16 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane C_2H_6= 30 g/mol

Molar mass of ethylene C_2H_4 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of water H_2O=18g/mol

number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Their molar composition can be calculated as follows:

n_{CH_4}= \frac{75}{16}

n_{CH_4}= 4.69 moles

n_{C_2H_6} = \frac{10}{30}

n_{C_2H_6} = 0.33 moles

n_{C_2H_4} = \frac{5}{28}

n_{C_2H_4} = 0.18 moles

n_{H_2O}= \frac{10}{18}

n_{H_2O}= 0.56 moles

Total moles of gases for wet basis = (4.69 + 0.33 + 0.18 + 0.56) moles

= 5.76 moles

Total moles of gas for dry basis = (5.76 - 0.56)moles

= 5.20 moles

Ratio of moles of water to the moles of dry gas = \frac{n_{H_2O}}{n_{drygas}}

= \frac{0.56}{5.2}

= 0.108 moles

b) If 100 kg/h of this fuel is burned with 30% excess air(combustion); then we have the following equations:

    CH_4 + 2O_2_{(g)} ------> CO_2_{(g)} +2H_2O

4.69         2× 4.69

moles       moles

   C_2H_6+ \frac{7}{2}O_2_{(g)} ------> 2CO_2_{(g)} + 3H_2O

0.33      3.5 × 0.33

moles    moles

    C_2H_4+3O_2_{(g)} ----->2CO_2+2H_2O

0.18           3× 0.18

moles        moles

Mass flow rate = 100 kg/h

Their Molar Flow rate is as follows;

CH_4 = 4.69 k moles/h\\C_2H_6 = 0.33 k moles/h\\C_2H_4=0.18kmoles/h

Total moles of O_2 required = (2 × 4.69) + (3.5 × 0.33) + (3 × 0.18) k moles

= 11.075 k moles.

In 1 mole air = 0.21 moles O_2

Thus, moles of air required = \frac{1}{0.21}*11.075

= 52.7 k mole

30% excess air = 0.3 × 52.7 k moles

= 15.81 k moles

Total air required = (52.7 + 15.81 ) k moles/h

= 68.51 k moles/h

So, if combustion is 75% complete; then it is termed as incomplete combustion which require the same amount the same amount of air but varying product will be produced.
