Answer:

The reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a lower temperature.

Explanation:

A liquid will change its form when its vapor pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, the air pressure will be lower since there will be less air above your head compared to the sea level. This means the atmospheric pressure will be lower, and the vapor pressure needed for the liquid will be reduced.  

The pressure is directly proportional to temperature. Since the vapor pressure required is lower, the liquid can start to boil at a lower temperatures.

The _HIGHER__ vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a _LOWER___ temperature.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is the pressure applied by the molecule of a liquid at the surface of the liquid as it transitions into a gaseous phase. When the vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure, this is when the liquid begins to boil. Therefore when the atmospheric pressure is low, then the liquid will boil at lower temperatures, because the vapor pressure of the liquid will overcome the atmospheric pressure at lower temperatures.

An unknown compound displays singlets at δ 2.1 ppm and 2.56 ppm in the ratio of 3:2. what is the structure of the compound?
olasank [31]

1) As can be seen from any 1H NMR chemical shift ppm tables, hydrogens which have δ values from 2ppm to 2.3ppm are hydrogens from carbon which is bonded to a carbonyl group. From this, we can conclude that our hydrogens belong to the type, but from 2 different alkyl groups because of 2 different signals.

 

2) So, one alkyl group is CH3 and second one can be CH or CH2.

 

3) If we know that ratio between two types of hydrogens is 3:2, it can be concluded that second alkyl group is CH2. 


4) Finally, we don't have any other signals and it indicates that part of the compound which continues on CH2 is exactly the same as the first part.

The ratio remains the same, 3:2 ie 6:4

A power plant is driven by the combustion of a complex fossil fuel having the formula C11H7S. Assume the air supply is composed
AlekseyPX

(a) 4C_11 H_7S + 55O_2 → 44CO_2 + 14H_2O + 4SO_2 + 20.68N_2;

(b) 4C_11 H_7S + 66O_2 → 44CO_2 + 14H_2O + 4SO_2 + 248.2N_2 + 11O_2;

(c) 23 900 kg air; (d) air:fuel = 10.2; (e) air:fuel = 12.2:1

(a) <em>Balanced equation including N_2 from air</em>  

The balanced equation <em>ignoring</em> N_2 from air is  

4C_11 H_7S + 55O_2 → 44CO_2 + 14H_2O + 4SO_2  

Moles of N_2 =55 mol O_2 × (3.76 mol N_2/1 mol O_2) = 206.8 mol N_2  

<em>Including</em> N_2 from air, the balanced equation is  

4C_11 H_7S + 55O_2 → 44CO_2 + 14H_2O + 4SO_2 + 206.8N_2  

(b) <em>Balanced equation for 120 % stoichiometric combustion</em>  

Moles of O_2 = 55 mol O_2 × 1.20 = 66.00 mol O_2  

Excess moles O_2 = (66.00 – 55) mol O_2 = 11.00 mol O_2  

Moles of N_2 = 66.00 mol O_2 × (3.76 mol N_2/1 mol O_2) = 248.2 mol N_2  

The balanced equation is

4C_11 H_7S + 66O_2 → 44CO_2 + 14H_2O + 4SO_2 + 248.2N_2 + 11O_2

(c) <em>Minimum mass of air</em>  

Moles of O_2 required = 1700 kg C_11 H_7S

× (1 kmol C_11 H_7S/185.24 kg C_11 H_7S) × (55 kmol O_2/4 kmol C_11 H_7S)

= 126.2 kmol O_2  

Mass of O_2 = 126.2 kmol O_2 × (32.00 kg O_2/1 kmol O_2) = 4038 kg O_2  

Mass of N_2 required = 126.2 kmol O_2 × (3.76 kmol N_2/1 kmol O_2)

× (28.01 kg N_2/1 kmol N_2) = 13 285 kg N_2  

Mass of air = Mass of N_2 + mass of O_2 = (4038 + 13 285) kg = 17 300 kg air  

(d) <em>Air:fuel mass ratio for 100 % combustion</em>  

Air:fuel = 17 300 kg/1700 kg = <em>10.2 :1 </em>

(e) <em>Air:fuel mass ratio for 120 % combustion </em>

Mass of air = 17 300 kg × 1.20 = 20 760 kg air  

Air:fuel = 20 760 kg/1700 kg = 12.2 :1
