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

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of koh and zncl2 are mixed?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Net ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq)  +   2OH⁻(aq)     →    Zn(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

ZnCl₂ + KOH    →   KCl  + Zn(OH)₂

Balanced chemical equation:

ZnCl₂ + 2KOH    →   2KCl  +Zn(OH)₂

Ionic equation;

Zn²⁺(aq)  + 2Cl⁻(aq)  + 2K⁺(aq)  +  2OH⁻(aq)     →   2K⁺(aq)  + 2Cl⁻(aq)   +Zn(OH)₂(s)

Net ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq)  +   2OH⁻(aq)     →    Zn(OH)₂(s)

The K⁺  and Cl⁻  are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The  Zn(OH)₂ can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 525 nm appears as green light to the human eye. The energy of one photon of this
Sedbober [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy of one photon of the given light is 3.79\times 10^{-19}J

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the energy of one photon, we use Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

\lambda = wavelength of light = 525nm=5.25\times 10^{-7}m        (Conversion factor:  1m=10^9nm  )

h = Planck's constant = 6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E=\frac{6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{5.25\times 10^{-7}mm}\\\\E=3.79\times 10^{-19}J

Hence, the energy of one photon of the given light is 3.79\times 10^{-19}J

In a reaction between 6.0 g of oxygen gas, 4.0 g of hydrogen gas, and 5.0 g of solid sulfur at standard temperature and pressure
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The limiting reagent is the O₂

Explanation:

We can think, this reaction

2O₂(g) + H₂(g) + S(s)  →  H₂SO₄

Mole of each = Mass / molar mass

6 g / 32 g/m = 0.187 mole O₂

4g / 2 g/m = 2 mole H₂

5g / 32.06 g/m = 0.156 mole S

Ratio between reactants is 2:1:1, 1:2:1, 1:1:2

For 2 mole of O₂, I need to react 1 mol of H₂ and 1 mol of S

0.187 mole of O₂, I need (the half)

0.093 mole of H₂ and 0.093 mole of S

For 1 mole of H₂, I need to react 2 mole of O₂ and 1 mol of S

2 mole of H₂, I need (the double of O₂ and the same for S)

4 mole of O₂ ; 2 mole of S

For 1 mol of S, I need to react 1 mol of H₂ and 2 mole of O₂

0.156 mole I need the same amount for H₂ and the double for O₂

0.156 mole of H₂ and 0.312 mole of O₂

In both cases, I can't make react, all the mass of oxygen, so this is the limiting reagent.
