A space air is at a temperature of 75 oF, and the relative humidity (RH) is 45%. Using calculations, find: (a) the partial press

ures of the dry air and water vapor, (b) the humidity ratio of the moist air, and (c) the specific volume of the moist air. Assume standard sea-level pressure.

Answer:

A) Partial Pressure of dry air = 13.32 KPa

Partial Pressure of water vapour = 1.332 KPa

B) Humidity ratio; X = 0.0691

C) V_p = 0.8384 m³/Kg

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Temperature = 75°F

Relative Humidity = 45%

Now,to calculate the partial pressure, we will use the relationship;

Relative Humidity = (Partial Pressure/Vapour Pressure) × 100%

Making partial pressure the subject;

Partial Pressure = Relative Humidity × Vapour Pressure/100%

From the first table attached, at temperature of 75°F, the vapor pressure is 29.6 × 10^(-3) bar = 29.6 KPa

Thus;

Partial Pressure of dry air = (45 × 29.6)/100

Partial Pressure of dry air = 13.32 KPa

From online values, vapour pressure of water vapour at 75°F = 2.96 KPa

Thus;

Partial Pressure of water vapour = (45 × 2.96)/100 = 1.332 KPa

B) humidity ratio of moist air is given as;

X = 0.62198 pw / (pa - pw)  

where;

pw = partial pressure of the water vapor in moist air

pa = atmospheric pressure of the moist air

Thus;

X = (0.62198 × 1.332)/(13.32 - 1.332)  

X = 0.0691

C) Formula for moist air specific volume is;

V_p = (1 + (xRw/Ra) × RaT/p

Where;

V_p is specific volume

T is temperature = 75°F = 297.039 K

p is barometric pressure which in this case is standard sea level pressure = 101.325 KPa

pw is partial pressure of the water vapor in moist air = 1.332 KPa

Rw is individual gas constant for water = 0.4614 KJ/Kg.K

Ra is individual gas constant for air = 0.2869 KJ/Kg.K

V_p = (1 + (0.0691 * 0.4614/0.2869)) × 0.286.9 * 297.039/101.325

V_p = 0.8384 m³/Kg

how much heat is released when 70.9g of water at 66C cools to 25C? The specific heat of water is 1 cal/gC
Serga [27]

Answer:

-12162.47 joules (or -12000 joules when accounting for significant figures)

Explanation (btw I used 1 cal as 4.184 joules because SI units are better):

q = m c delta T

q = (70.9) (4.184) (25 - 66)  

q = (70.9) (4.184) (-41)

q = -12162.47 joules

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

C. All electron carriers are mobile and hydrophobic

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is widely known that the electron carriers move inside the inner mitochondrial membrane and consequently move electrons from one to another. In such a way, they are mobile, therefore they are largely hydrophobic as long as they are inside the membrane.

For instance, the cytochrome c is a water-soluble protein in a large range, therefore, the answer is: C. All electron carriers are mobile and hydrophobic.

Best regards.
