Jose’s lab instructor gives him a solution of sodium phosphate that is buffered to a pH of 4. Because of an error that he made w

hile calibrating the pH meter, Jose’s measurements of the pH of the sodium phosphate solution are 5.4, 5.4, and 5.4. Which statement best describes his results?

I am thinking that maybe the problem is not with the calibration. It might be that the buffered solution is already expired since at this point the solution is already not stable and will give a different pH reading than what is expected.

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.
erastova [34]

Complete Question

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.

(a) How much heat transfer is needed each second to raise the water temperature from 35.0°C to 100°C, boil it, and then raise the resulting steam from 100°C to 450°C? Specific heat of water is 4184 J/(kg · °C), the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2256 kJ/kg, and the specific heat of steam is 1520 J/(kg · °C).

J

(b) How much power is needed in megawatts? (Note: In real power plants, this process occurs under high pressure, which alters the boiling point. The results of this problem are only approximate.)

MW

Answer:

The heat transferred is  Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J

The power is  P = 5866\  MW

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      Mass of the water per second is m = 1917 \ kg

      The initial temperature of the water is T_i  = 35^oC

      The boiling point of water is  T_b = 100^oC

      The final temperature T_f = 450^oC

      The latent heat of vapourization of water is  c__{L}} = 2256*10^3 J/kg

      The specific heat of water c_w = 4184 J/kg^oC

      The specific heat of stem is C_s =1520 \ J/kg ^oC

Generally the heat needed each second is mathematically represented as

         Q = m[c_w (T_i - T_b) + m* c__{L}}  + m* c__{S}} (T_f - T_b)]

Then substituting the value

        Q = m[c_w [T_i - T_b] + c__{L}}  + C__{S}} [T_f - T_b]]

         Q = 1917 [(4184) [100 - 35] + [2256 * 10^3]  +[1520]  [450 - 100]]

         Q = 1917 * [3.05996 * 10^6]

         Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J

The power required is mathematically represented as

         P = \frac{Q}{t}

From the question t = 1\ s

So  

        P = \frac{5.866 *10^9}{1}

        P = 5866*10^6 \ W

        P = 5866\  MW

A total resistance of 3.03 Ω is to be produced by connecting an unknown resistance to a 12.18 Ω resistance. (a) What must be the
insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) 4.0334Ω

(b)parallel

Explanation:

for resistors connected in parallel;

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } =\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}

Req =3.03Ω , R1 =12.18Ω

\frac{1}{3.03 } =\frac{1}{12.18}+\frac{1}{R2}

\frac{1}{R2}=\frac{1}{3.03 }-\frac{1}{12.18}

\frac{1}{R2}=0.2479

R2=1/0.2479

R2=4.0334Ω

(b)parallel connection is suitable for the desired total resistance. series connection can not be used to achieve a lower resistance as the equation for series connection is.

Req = R1+R2

To wait until the oncoming vehicle passes before completing a left turn is known as:
Reika [66]

Answer:

Risk rejection

Explanation:

There are several factors that contribute to the degree of driving risks and they include but not limited to the ability of the driver and the condition of a vehicle. Other factors are condition of the environment and the condition of the highway. When driving, a driver may wait until an oncoming vehicle passes before making a complete left turn as a risk rejection strategy. Left turns are more dangerous when making them because drivers tend to accelerate on to a left turn. The wider radius of a  left turn is know to led to higher speeds and greater pedestrian exposure. A driver is advised to have more mental and physical efforts when making a left turn.
