What is the activation energy (Q) for a vacancy formation if 10 moles of a metal have 2.3 X 10^13 vacancies at 425°C?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Activation\ Energy=2.5\times 10^{-19}\ J

Explanation:

Using the expression shown below as:

N_v=N\times e^{-\frac {Q_v}{k\times T}

Where,

N_v is the number of vacancies

N is the number of defective sites

k is Boltzmann's constant = 1.38\times 10^{-23}\ J/K

{Q_v} is the activation energy

T is the temperature

Given that:

N_v=2.3\times 10^{13}

N = 10 moles

1 mole = 6.023\times 10^{23}

So,

N = 10\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=6.023\times 10^{24}

Temperature = 425°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (425 + 273.15) K = 698.15 K  

T = 698.15 K

Applying the values as:

2.3\times 10^{13}=6.023\times 10^{24}\times e^{-\frac {Q_v}{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 698.15}

ln[\frac {2.3}{6.023}\times 10^{-11}]=-\frac {Q_v}{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 698.15}

Q_v=2.5\times 10^{-19}\ J

The theoretical maximum specific gravity of a mix at 5.0% binder content is 2.495. Using a binder specific gravity of 1.0, find
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content is 2.44.

Explanation:

Given the specific gravity at 5.0 %  binder content 2.495

Therefore

95 % mix + 5 % binder  gives S.G. = 2.495

Where the  binder is S.G. = 1, Therefore

Per 100 mass unit we have (Mx + 5)/(Vx + 5) = 2.495

(95 +5)/(Vx +5) = 2.495

2.495 × (Vx + 5) = 100

Vx =35.08 to 95

Or density of mix = Mx/Vx = 95/35.08 = 2.7081

Therefore when we have 6.5 % binder content, we get

Per 100 mass unit

93.5 Mass unit of Mx has a volume of

Mass/Density = 93.5/2.7081 = 34.526 volume units

Therefore we have

At 6.5 % binder content.

(100 mass unit)/(34.526 + 6.5) = 2.44

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content = 2.44.

Describe at least one way you take advantage or could take advantage of each of the different forms of energy
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Kinetic energy can be used to develop electric energy which can be used as electricity.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy can be harnessed; much like some hydro power technologies harness water movement. A way to convert this kinetic energy into electric energy is through piezoelectric. By applying a mechanical stress to a piezoelectric crystal or material an electric current will be created and can be harvested.

Kinetic energy is also generated by the human body when it is in motion. Studies have also been done using kinetic energy and then converting it to other types of energy, which is then used to power everything from flashlights to radios and more.
