Answer: -

After rain fall occurs, water accumulates .

This water is called ground water. This water slowly flows under the ground through the pore spaces in the soil. The water continues to go under the soil till it reaches a certain point where it can no longer go down.

In this region the water slowly accumulates forming a water reservoir called aquifer. The aquifer is a place under the soil which is saturated with water. The upper surface of this zone of saturation is called the water table.

Express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

$PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]$

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

a = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

b = 0.03464 L/mol

Explanation:

In the given question, we need to express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms of the parameters a and b. Therefore:

Using the van deer Waals equation of state:

$P = \frac{RT}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{V_{m} ^{2} }$

With further simplification, we have:

$P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} ^{2} }]$

Then, we have:

$P = \frac{RT}{V_{m} } [\frac{1}{1-\frac{b}{V_{m} } } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Therefore,

$PV_{m} = RT[(1-\frac{b}{V_{m} }) ^{-1} - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Using the expansion:

$(1-x)^{-1} = 1 + x + x^{2} + ....$

Therefore,

$PV_{m} = RT[1+\frac{b}{V_{m} }+\frac{b^{2} }{V_{m} ^{2} } + ... -\frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Thus:

$PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]$ equation (1)

Using the virial equation of state:

$P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m} }+ \frac{B}{V_{m} ^{2}}+\frac{C}{V_{m} ^{3} }+ ...]$

Thus:

$PV_{m} = RT[1+ \frac{B}{V_{m} }+ \frac{C}{V_{m} ^{2} } + ...]$ equation (2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2), we have:

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

Using the measurements on argon gave B = −21.7 cm3 mol−1 and C = 1200 cm6 mol−2 for the virial coefficients at 273 K.

$b = \sqrt{C} = \sqrt{1200} = 34.64[tex]cm^{3}/mol$ [/tex] = 0.03464 L/mol

a = (b-B)*RT = (34.64+21.7)*(1L/1000cm^3)*(0.0821)*(273) = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

How does Earth's rotation affect ocean currents?

Tom [10]

Answer:

Our planet's rotation produces a force on all bodies moving relative to theEarth. ... The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected.

A 30.7 g sample of Strontium nitrate, Sr(NO3)2•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass of 22.9 g. Calculate the hydration number.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Hydration number: 4

Explanation:

1) Mass of water in the hydrated compound

Mass of water = Mass of the hydrated sample - mass of the dehydrated compound

Mass of water = 30.7 g - 22.9 g = 7.8 g

2) Number of moles of water

Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass of H₂O = 2×1.008 g/mol + 15.999 g*mol = 18.015 g/mol

Number of moles of H₂O = 7.9 g / 18.015 g/mol = 0.439 mol

3) Number of moles of Strontium nitrate dehydrated, Sr (NO₃)₂

The mass of strontium nitrate dehydrated is the constant mass obtained after heating = 22.9 g

Molar mass of Sr (NO₃)₂ : 211.63 g/mol (you can obtain it from a internet or calculate using the atomic masses of each element from a periodic table).
