You wish to prepare a tape-casting slip containing 50 vol% Al2O3 and 50 vol% polyvinyl butyral (PVB) binder. If the density of A

belka [17]

Answer: The mass of PVB required to produce 1000 grams of tape is 213.4 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of aluminium oxide, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$ .......(1)

For $Al_2O_3$

We are given:

50% (v/v) of $Al_2O_3$

This means that 50 mL of aluminium oxide is present in 100 mL of tape

Calculating the mass of aluminium oxide by using equation 1:

Density of aluminium oxide = $3.98 g/cm^3$

Volume of aluminium oxide = $50mL=50cm^3$ (Conversion factor: $1mL=1cm^3$ )

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$3.98g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of aluminium oxide}}{50cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of aluminium oxide}=(3.98g/cm^3\times 50cm^3)=199g$

Mass of aluminium oxide = 199 g

For PVB:

We are given:

50% (v/v) of PVB

This means that 50 mL of PVB is present in 100 mL of tape

Calculating the mass of PVB by using equation 1:

Density of PVB = $1.08 g/cm^3$

Volume of PVB = $50mL=50cm^3$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.08g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of PVB}}{50cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of PVB}=(1.08g/cm^3\times 50cm^3)=54g$

Mass of PVB = 54 g

Mass of tape = Mass of aluminium oxide + mass of PVB

Mass of tape = [199 + 54] g = 253 g

To calculate the mass of PVB required to produce 1000 g of tape, we use unitary method:

When 253 grams of tape is made, the mass of PVB required is 54 g

So, when 1000 grams of tape is made, the mass of PVB required will be = $\frac{54}{253}\times 1000=213.4g$

Hence, the mass of PVB required to produce 1000 grams of tape is 213.4 grams

On many common appliances, there is an “O” or “I” on the power switch. What does each symbol mean?

Art [367]

"I" symbol means the current goes through the system (imagine the 'I' being a line, like a circuit connecting [power to the device]) "O" symbol means the current does not go through the system. ( the circle is an open circuit, having no power flowing through it

As the ph approaches 0, what happens to the concentration of h3o+ ions?

natta225 [31]

We know that

pH = -log[H+]

the pH value falls in between 0- 7 for acids

As the pH value increases the concentration of [H+] increases.

similarly as the value of pH approaches 0, the concentration of H+ increases

The solution said to become more acidic

Also

[H+] X [OH-] = 10^-14

Thus pH + pOH = 14

hence the concentration of OH- decreases as the pH approaches zero
