What to do if i accidentally added to much water conditioner to my fish tank?

1 answer:

5 0

Put the fish in another small bowl of water. Empty the tank, rinse it, and fill it with new water and the right amount of conditioner. Let it get to the right temperature for the fish, then gently put the fish back in it. And FAST ! All of this is very stressful for the fish.

Here is the missing part of the question

To Determine the heat transfer, in kJ if the final temperature in the tank is 110 deg C

Answer:

Explanation:

The image attached below shows the process on T - v diagram

At State 1:

The first step is to find the vapor pressure

$P_{v1} = \rho_1 P_g_1$

$= \phi_1 P_{x \ at \ 125^0C}$

= 0.5 × 232 kPa

= 116 kPa

The initial specific volume of the vapor is:

$P_{v_1} v_{v_1} = \dfrac{\overline R}{M_v}T_1$

$116 \times 10^3 \times v_{v_1} = \dfrac{8314}{18} \times (125 + 273)$

$116 \times 10^3 \times v_{v_1} = 183831.7778$

$v_{v_1} = 1.584 \ m^3/kg$

At State 1:

The next step is to determine the mass of water vapor pressure.

$m_{v1} = \dfrac{V}{v_{v1}}$

$= \dfrac{2.5}{1.584}$

= 1.578 kg

Using the ideal gas equation to estimate the mass of the dry air $m_a$ $P_{a1} V = m_a \dfrac{\overline R}{M_a}T_1$

$(P_1-P_{v1}) V = m_a \dfrac{\overline R}{M_a}T_1$

$(4-1.16) \times 10^5 \times 2.5 = m_a \dfrac{8314}{28.97}\times ( 125 + 273)$

$710000= m_a \times 114220.642$

$m_a = \dfrac{710000}{114220.642}$

$m_a = 6.216 \ kg$

For the specific volume $v_{v_1} = 1.584 \ m^3/kg$ , we get the identical value of saturation temperature

$T_{sat} = 100 + (110 -100) \bigg(\dfrac{1.584-1.673}{1.210 - 1.673}\bigg)$

$T_{sat} =101.92 ^0\ C$

Thus, at $T_{sat} =101.92 ^0\ C$ , condensation needs to begin.

However, since the exit temperature tends to be higher than the saturation temperature, then there will be an absence of condensation during the process.

Heat can now be determined by using the formula

Q = ΔU + W

Recall that: For a rigid tank, W = 0

Q = ΔU + 0

Q = ΔU

Q = U₂ - U₁

Also, the mass will remain constant given that there will not be any condensation during the process from state 1 and state 2.

At State 1;

The internal energy is calculated as:

$U_1 = (m_a u_a \ _{ at \ 125^0 C})+ ( m_{v1} u_v \ _{ at \ 125^0 C} )$

At $T_1$ = 125° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of air

SO;

$U_{a \ at \ 125 ^0C } = 278.93 + ( 286.16 -278.93) (\dfrac{398-390}{400-390} )$

$=278.93 + ( 7.23) (\dfrac{8}{10} )$

$= 284.714 \ kJ/kg\\$

At $T_1$ = 125° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of water vapor

$U_{v1 \ at \ 125^0C} = u_g = 2534.5 \ kJ/kg$

$U_1 = (m_a u_a \ at \ _{ 125 ^0C }) + ( m_{v1} u_v \ at \ _{125^0C} )$

= 6.216 × 284.714 + 1.578 × 2534.5

= 5768.716 kJ

At State 2:

The internal energy is calculated as:

$U_2 = (m_a u_a \ _{ at \ 110^0 C})+ ( m_{v1} u_v \ _{ at \ 110^0 C} )$

At temperature 110° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of air

SO;

$U_{a \ at \ 110^0C } = 271.69+ ( 278.93-271.69) (\dfrac{383-380}{390-380} )$

$271.69+ (7.24) (0.3)$

$= 273.862 \ kJ/kg\\$

At temperature 110° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of water vapor

$U_{v1 \ at \ 110^0C}= 2517.9 \ kJ/kg$

$U_2 = (m_a u_a \ at \ _{ 110 ^0C }) + ( m_{v1} u_v \ at \ _{110^0C} )$

= 6.216 × 273.862 + 1.578 × 2517.9

= 5675.57 kJ

Finally, the heat transfer during the process is

Q = U₂ - U₁

Q = (5675.57 - 5768.716 ) kJ

Q = -93.146 kJ

with the negative sign, this indicates that heat is lost from the system.

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?

katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.

A bag containing 0ºC ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0ºC water.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Explanation:

Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart such that, in the liquid, the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature. Similarly, energy is needed to vaporize a liquid, because molecules in a liquid interact with each other via attractive forces. There is no temperature change until a phase change is complete. The temperature of a cup of soda initially at 0ºC stays at 0ºC until all the ice has melted. Conversely, energy is released during freezing and condensation, usually in the form of thermal energy. Work is done by cohesive forces when molecules are brought together. The corresponding energy must be given off (dissipated) to allow them to stay together Figure 2.

The energy involved in a phase change depends on two major factors: the number and strength of bonds or force pairs. The number of bonds is proportional to the number of molecules and thus to the mass of the sample. The strength of forces depends on the type of molecules. The heat Q required to change the phase of a sample of mass m is given by

Q = mLf (melting/freezing,

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation),

where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.
