Answer:

12.50g

Explanation:

T½ = 2.5years

No = 100g

N = ?

Time (T) = 7.5 years

To solve this question, we'll have to find the disintegration constant λ first

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / λ

λ = 0.693 / 2.5

λ = 0.2772

In(N/No) = -λt

N = No* e^-λt

N = 100 * e^-(0.2772*7.5)

N = 100*e^-2.079

N = 100 * 0.125

N = 12.50g

The sample remaining after 7.5 years is 12.50g

Five kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas undergoes a process in a well-insulated piston-cylinder assembly from 2 bar, 280 K to 20 bar
kaheart [24]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Five kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas undergoes a process in a well-insulated piston-cylinder assembly from 2 bar, 280 K to 20 bar, 520 K. If the carbon dioxide behaves as an ideal gas, determine the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K. Assuming;

a) constant specific heats Cp = 0.939 kJ/Kg K

b) variable specific heats

Answer:

a) the amount of entropy produced is 0.731599 kJ/K

b) the amount of entropy produced is 0.69845 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

5 kg of carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas undergoes a process in a well-insulated piston-cylinder assembly.

m = 5 kg

Molar mass M = 44.01 g/mol

P₁ = 2 bar, P₂ = 20

T₁ = 280 K, P₂ = 520 K

Since its insulated { q = 0 } ( kinetic and potential energy effects = 0 )

Now,

a) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K, Assuming constant specific heats with Cp = 0.939 kJ/Kg K

S_{Generation = m × ((Cp × In( T₂/T₁) - R × In( P₂/p₁ ))

we substitute

S_{Generation = 5 × (( 0.939  × In( 520/280) - 0.1889 × In( 20/2 ))

= 5 × ( 0.5812778 - 0.434958 )

= 5 × 0.1463198

= 0.731599 kJ/K

Therefore, the amount of entropy produced is 0.731599 kJ/K

b) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K, Assuming variable specific heats.

Now, from  Table A-23: Ideal Gas Properties of Selected Gases;

T₁,T₂ : s₁⁰ = 211.376 kJ/kmol-K, s₂⁰ = 236.575 kJ/kmol-K

now, s₁ = s₁⁰ / M and s₂ = s₂⁰ / M

we substitute

s₁ = s₁⁰ / M = 211.376 / 44.01  = 4.8029 kJ/kg

s₂ = s₂⁰ / M = 236.575 / 44.01 = 5.37548 kJ/kg

S_{Generation = m × (( s₂ - s₁ ) - R × In( p₂ / p₁ ))

we substitute

S_{Generation = 5 × (( 5.37548 - 4.8029  ) - 0.1880 × In( 20 / 2 ))

= 5 × ( 0.57258 - 0.432885997 )

= 5 × 0.13969

= 0.69845 kJ/K

Therefore, the amount of entropy produced is 0.69845 kJ/K

Why are molecule atoms as far away from each other as possible
iVinArrow [24]

According to VSEPR theory, molecular geometry can be predicted by starting with the electron pair geometry about the central atom and adding atoms to some or all of the electron pairs.
