Water is flowing in a pipe with a mass flow rate of 100.0 lb/h (M water H,O=18.016). What is the (i) Molar flow rate of H20 (gmo
Arada [10]

Answer:

i) 0,7 molH20/s

ii)11,2 g O/s

iii)1,4 g H/s

Explanation:

i) To find the molar flow rate of water, we just convert the mass of water to moles of water using its molecular weight(g/mol) and changing to the proper units (lb to grames and hours to seconds):

100 \frac{lb}{h}*\frac{453,5g}{1 lb}*\frac{1molH20}{18,016g}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=0,7\frac{molH20}{s}

ii) Now we just consider the oxygen in the water stream (for 1 mole of water there is 1 mole of oxygen):

100\frac{lb}{h} *\frac{453,5g}{1lb}*\frac{1 molH20}{18,016g}*\frac{1molO}{1molH20}*\frac{16gr}{1molO}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=11,2\frac{gO}{s}

iii)Just considering the hydrogen in the stream (for 1 mole of water there is 2 moles of hydrogen):

100\frac{lb}{h} *\frac{453,5g}{1lb}*\frac{1 molH20}{18,016g}*\frac{2molH}{1molH20}*\frac{1gr}{1molH}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=1,4\frac{gH}{s}

The Rydberg constant is 3.3 x 10 15 Hz. this value is also
mina [271]

Answer:

Rydberg constant 3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hertz is equal to 1.090 x 10⁷ m⁻¹

Explanation:

Given;

Rydberg constant as  3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hz

1 Rydberg constant = 3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hz

1 Rydberg constant  = 1.090 x 10⁷ m⁻¹

Therefore, Rydberg constant 3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hertz is equal to 1.090 x 10⁷ m⁻¹
