How many pounds of coal would you have to burn to generate enough heat to boil a 15 l kettle?

Chemistry
1 answer:
rjkz [21]3 years ago
7 0
Note that
The heating value of standard coal is about 30,080 kJ/kg
1 L of water has a mass of 1.0 kg

The mass of 15 L of water = 15 kg.
The latent heat of vaporization of water is about 2260 kJ/kg,
 The energy required to boil 15 L of water is
(2260 kJ/kg)*(15 kg) = 33900 kJ

The mass of coal required to provide this energy is
(33900 kJ)/(30080 kJ/kg) = 1.127 kg

Because 1 kg = 2.205 lb, the mass of coal required is
(1.127 kg)*(2.205 lb/kg) = 2.485 lb

Answer: 2.49 lb (nearest hundredth)

lora16 [44]

Answer: Please see answer below

Explanation:

Mecury vapor lamp is better to use than Sodium vapor light, this is because  because

---The Filaments of the lamp in sodium  emit fast moving electrons, which causes valence electrons of the sodium atoms to excite to higher energy levels which when electrons after being excited, relax by emitting yellow light which concentrates on the the  monochromatic bright yellow part of the visible spectrum which is about  580-590 or about (589nm) which will fall incident on the calibrations making it difficult to see

While

In Mercury vapor lamp, The emitted  electrons from the filaments, after having been excited  by high voltage, hit the mercury atoms but the excited electrons of mercury atoms relax and emits an  ultraviolet  uv invisible lights falling on the mecury vapour lamp to produce white light  covering  a wide range of  (380-780 nm) which is visible that is why it is used for calibrations purposes in  lightening applications.

✅Show work regardless if student got answer  correct or incorrect

q = mC∆T

q = (30.0g)(0.900J/goC)(50oC)

q = 1350 J

So, the right answer is 1350 J

According to the vsepr model the arrangement of electron pairs around nh3 and ch4 is
bazaltina [42]
The arrangement of electron pairs around CH4 and NH3, According to the VSEPR model is the same, because in each case there are the same number of electron pairs around the central atom. So the NH3 and CH4 arrangement of electron pairs is the same because in each case there are the same number of electron pairs around the central atom.

If a buffer solution is 0.220 M in a weak acid ( Ka=7.4×10−5) and 0.540 M in its conjugate base, what is the pH?
valkas [14]

Answer: the pH of the solution is 4.52

Explanation:

Consider the weak acid as Ha, it is dissociated as expressed below

HA     H⁺  +  A⁻

the Henderson -Haselbach equation can be expressed as;

pH = pKa + log( [A⁻] / [HA])

the weak acid is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻ ions in the solution.

now the conjugate base of the weak acid HA is

HA(aq) {weak acid}     H⁺(aq)  +  A⁻(aq) {conjugate base}

so now we calculate the value of Kₐ as well as pH value by substituting the values of the concentrations into the equation;

pKₐ = -logKₐ

pKₐ = -log ( 7.4×10⁻⁵ )

pKₐ = 4.13

now thw pH is

pH = pKₐ  + log( [A⁻] / [HA])

pH = 4.13 + log( [0.540] / [0.220])

pH = 4.13 + 0.3899

pH = 4.5199 = 4.52

Therefore the pH of the solution is 4.52
