I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. Burning biomass releases fewer toxins than coal. When coal is burned, it releases<span> many </span>toxic<span> gases and pollutants into the atmosphere which is not favorable to the people and for the environment.

Instead of 6 M NaOH being added to the solution, 6 M HCl is added. How will this affect the test for the presence of ammonium io
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Ammonia gas(an alkaline gas with characteristics of choking or irritating smell) is not liberated when 6mole of HCl is added to the solution instead of 6mole of NaOH, to test for the presence of ammonium ion in the solution

Explanation:

As expected, when testing for ammonium ion in a solution (precisely ammonium salt solution), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is required as the test reagent.

When NaOH is added to the solution, A gas with characteristics of choking or irritating smell is liberated.

This gas turn red litmus paper blue.

This liberated gas is an alkaline gas, which is confirmed as an ammonia gas(NH3).

If HCl is added instead of NaOH, the ammonia gas will not be liberated, which indicates that the test reagent used is wrong.

In an electrically heated boiler, water is boiled at 140°C by a 90 cm long, 8 mm diameter horizontal heating element immersed in
RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Volume of water = 0.25 m^{3}

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^{3}

Therefore,  mass of water = Density × Volume

                       = 1000 kg/m^{3} \times 0.25 m^{3}

                       = 250 kg  

Initial Temperature of water (T_{1}) = 20^{o}C

Final temperature of water = 140^{o}C

Heat of vaporization of water (dH_{v}) at 140^{o}C  is 2133 kJ/kg

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 kJ/kg/K

As 25% of water got evaporated at its boiling point (140^{o}C) in 60 min.

Therefore, amount of water evaporated = 0.25 × 250 (kg) = 62.5 kg

Heat required to evaporate = Amount of water evapotaed × Heat of vaporization

                           = 62.5 (kg) × 2133 (kJ/kg)

                           = 133.3 \times 10^{3} kJ

All this heat was supplied in 60 min = 60(min)  × 60(sec/min) = 3600 sec

Therefore, heat supplied per unit time = Heat required/time = \frac{133.3 \times 10^{3}kJ}{3600 s} = 37 kJ/s or kW

The power rating of electric heating element is 37 kW.

Hence, heat required to raise the temperature from 20^{o}C to 140^{o}C of 250 kg of water = Mass of water × specific heat capacity × (140 - 20)

                      = 250 (kg) × 40184 (kJ/kg/K) × (140 - 20) (K)

                     = 125520 kJ  

Time required = Heat required / Power rating

                       = \frac{125520}{37}

                       = 3392 sec

Time required to raise the temperature from 20^{o}C to 140^{o}C of 0.25 m^{3} water is calculated as follows.

                    \frac{3392 sec}{60 sec/min}

                     = 56 min

Thus, we can conclude that the time required to raise the temperature is 56 min.

Mount Everest rises to a height of 8,850 m above sea level. At a base camp on the mountain the atmospheric pressure is measured
yan [13]

Answer:

Water will boil at 76^{0}\textrm{C}.

Explanation:

According to clausius-clapeyron equation for liquid-vapor equilibrium:

                                         ln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})=\frac{-\Delta H_{vap}^{0}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{T_{1}}]

where, P_{1} and P_{2} are vapor pressures of liquid at T_{1} (in kelvin) and T_{2} (in kelvin) temperatures respectively.

Here, P_{1} = 760.0 mm Hg, T_{1} = 373 K, P_{2} = 314.0 mm Hg

Plug-in all the given values in the above equation:

                          ln(\frac{314.0}{760.0})=\frac{-40.7\times 10^{3}\frac{J}{mol}}{8.314\frac{J}{mol.K}}\times [\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{373K}]

                       or, T_{2}=349 K

So, T_{2}=349K=(349-273)^{0}\textrm{C}=76^{0}\textrm{C}

Hence, at base camp, water will boil at 76^{0}\textrm{C}
