On a summer day, you take a road trip through Chelan, WA, in a Tesla Model S. You start out at a temperature of 19°C in the morn

ing, but the temperature in Chelan will reach a peak of 55°C. Each tire on your car holds 16.2 L of nitrogen gas at a starting pressure of 245 kPa. The tires will burst if the internal pressure exceeds 265 kPa. Answer the following questions and show your work. (no work = no credit) given R = 8.31.

1. 1.636 moles

2. 271.06 kPa pressure

3. Tires will be burst

4. 235.91 kPa

Explanation:

Step 1:

PV = nRT, is the equation to be used where

P represents pressure

V represents volume

n represents moles of gas

R is constant

T represents temperature in Kelvin

n=RT/PV  

It is given that the pressure is 245 kPa at initial temperature 19 C and tire volume is 16.2 L. Temperature must be converted  to Kelvin, 19 C equals 292K.

n=PV/RT ->245*16.2/(8.31*292) = 1.636

Number of moles of Nitrogen in the tire = 1.636

Step 2:

We need to find the maximum tire pressure at 50 C (323K)

P = nRT/V

Substituting the values P = (1.636 * 8.31 * 323)/16.2 = 271.06 kPa

The tire pressure at 50 C will be 271.06 kPa

Step 3

We need to figure out if the tires would burst in Chelan when the temperature is 55 C. It is given that the maximum pressure the tires can withstand is 265 kPA, so any pressure above this will cause the tire to burst. In Step-2 we calculated that the pressure is 271.06 kPA at 50 C which is more than the maximum pressure the tire can withstand. The pressure would increase further with temperature and at 55 C the pressure will be more than 271.06 kPa. So the tires are likely to burst in Chelan.

Step 4:

We need to find the pressure of Nitrogen at 19 C before the start of the trip so that tires will not burst. The pressure at 55 C is 265 kPa. Let us find the number of moles at this temperature and pressure.

n= PV/RT -> n=265*16.2/(8.31*328) = 1.575

Now let us find the pressure at 19 C.

P = nRT/V -> 1.575*8.31*292/16.2 = 235.91 kPa

Name the separation technique which could be used to separate mud and water without heating​
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Decantation

Explanation:

Decantation is a process to separate

mixtures by removing a liquid layer that

is free of a precipitate, or the solids

deposited from a solution. The purpose

may be to obtain a decant (liquid free

from particulates) or to recover the

precipitate.

Decantation relies on gravity to pull

precipitate out of the solution, so there is

always some loss of product, either from

the precipitate not fully falling out of the

solution or from liquid remaining when

separating it from the solid portion.

The Decanter

A piece of glassware called a decanter is

used to perform decantation. There are

several decanter designs. A simple

version is a wine decanter, which has a

wide body and a narrow neck. When

wine is poured, solids stay in the base of

the decanter.

In the case of wine, the solid is usually

potassium bitartrate crystals. For

chemistry separations, a decanter may

have a stopcock or valve to drain the

precipitate or dense liquid, or it may

have a partition to separate fractions.

Use of Alum and filtration process can also be administered for further purification

What makes elements in a group similar to one another and how would this affect their properties?
adell [148]
Elements in the same group have similar reactivities. For example, elements in group 1 are highly reactive, since they can all take in 7 electrons. Hope I helped!

The constant volume heat capacity of a gas can be measured by observing the decrease in temperature when it expands adiabaticall
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The value is  C_p  = 42. 8 J/K\cdot mol

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     \gamma = \frac{C_p }{C_v}

The  initial volume of the  fluorocarbon gas is  V_1 = V

 The final  volume of the fluorocarbon gas isV_2 = 2V

  The initial  temperature of the fluorocarbon gas is  T_1  =  298.15 K

  The final  temperature of the fluorocarbon gas is T_2  =  248.44 K

   The initial  pressure is P_1  = 202.94\  kPa

    The final   pressure is  P_2  =  81.840\  kPa

Generally the equation for  adiabatically reversible expansion is mathematically represented as

       T_2 =  T_1  * [ \frac{V_1}{V_2} ]^{\frac{R}{C_v} }

Here R is the ideal gas constant with the value  

        R =  8.314\  J/K \cdot mol

So  

   248.44 =   298.15  * [ \frac{V}{2V} ]^{\frac{8.314}{C_v} }

=> C_v  =  31.54 J/K\cdot mol

Generally adiabatic reversible expansion can also be mathematically expressed as

    P_2 V_2^{\gamma} = P_1 V_1^{\gamma}

=>[ 81.840 *10^3] [2V]^{\gamma} = [202.94 *10^3] V^{\gamma}    

=>  2^{\gamma} =  2.56

=>    \gamma =  1.356

So

     \gamma  =  \frac{C_p}{C_v} \equiv  1.356 = \frac{C_p}{31.54}

=>    C_p  = 42. 8 J/K\cdot mol
