Answer: Hello there! The standard unit of work in the metric system, the joule, is named after the James Prescott Joule (1819 -1889), where a joule is j = \frac{kg*m}{s^{2} }. He was a physicist who did a lot of work with thermodynamics, for example, he worked on the Joule-Thomson effect.

Liquid sodium can be used as a heat transfer fluid. Its vapor pressure is 40.0 torr at 633°C and 400.0 torr at 823°C. Calculate
kaheart [24]

Answer:

H vaporization = 100.0788 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Use clausius clapyron's adaptation for the calculation of Hvap as:

ln\frac {P_2}{P_1}=\frac {H_{vap}}{R}(\frac {1}{T_1}-\frac {1}{T_2})

Where,

P₂ and P₁ are the pressure at Temperature T₂ and T₁ respectively.

R is the gas constant.

T₂ = 823°C

T₁ = 633°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So, the temperature,

T₂ = (823 + 273.15) K = 1096.15 K

T₁ = (633 + 273.15) K = 906.15 K

P₂ = 400.0 torr , P₁ = 40.0 torr

R = 8.314 J/K.mol

Applying in the formula to calculate heat of vaporization as:

ln \frac {400}{40}=\frac {H_{vap}}{R} (\frac {1}{906.15}-\frac {1}{1096.15})

Solving for heat of vaporization, we get:

H vaporization = 100078.823 J/mol

Also, 1 J = 10⁻³ kJ

So,

<u>H vaporization = 100.0788 kJ/mol</u>

Iron rich minerals in rock pointed in one direction the switch to the exact opposite direction. I'd say that what supports this idea is that Earth's magnetic field goes through pole reversals.<span>

A car starts from rest and accelerates for 5.2 s with an acceleration of 2.8 m/s 2 . How far does it travel? Answer in units of
Mumz [18]
The final velocity is 5.2^2. The initial velocity is 0 . You are using Kinematic equation 3. (V^2=Vo^2+2a(x)) . (5.2^2=2(2.8)x)
27.04=5.6x
27.04/5.6=5.6/5.6x
4.83=x
The answer is 4.83m:)
