Answer:

The maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas should be less than 74.26 atm.

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=49.2 atm\\T_1=39.0^oC = 312.15 K\\P_2=?\\T_2=198^oC=471.15 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{49.2atm }{312.15 K}=\frac{P_2}{471.15 K}\\\\P_2=74.26 atm

The maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas should be less than 74.26 atm.

Based on the calculations, the average velocity is equal to 360 m/s and the percent difference is equal to 4.72%.

<h3>What is average velocity?</h3>

An average velocity can be defined as the total distance covered by a physical object divided by the total time taken.

<h3>What is an average?</h3>

An average is also referred to as mean and it can be defined as a ratio of the sum of the total number in a data set to the frequency of the data set.

<h3>How to calculate the average velocity?</h3>

Mathematically, the average velocity for this data set would be calculated by using this formula:

Average = [F(v)]/n

Vavg = [v₁ + v₂ + v₃ + v₄ + v₅)/5

Since the values of the average velocity from the table are missing, we would assume the following values for the purpose of an explanation:

  • v₁ = 100 m/s
  • v₂ = 150 m/s
  • v₃ = 200 m/s
  • v₄ = 250 m/s
  • v₅ = 300 m/s

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have:

Vavg = [300 + 450 + 500 + 250 + 300)/5

Vavg = 1800/5

Vavg = 360 m/s.

Next, we would calculate the percent difference by using this formula:

Percent \;difference = \frac{[V_{avg}\;-\;V_{sound}]}{V_{sound}} \times 100

Percent difference = [360 - 343]/360 × 100

Percent difference = 17/360 × 100

Percent difference = 0.0472 × 100

Percent difference = 4.72%.

Avi, a gymnast, weighs 40 kg. She is jumping on a trampoline that has a spring constant value of 176,400 . If she compresses the
viva [34]

<u>Answer</u>

9 m


<u>Explanation</u>

The energy stored in a spring is given by:

Energy = 1/2 k²e

Where e is the compression and k is the spring constant.

 Energy = 1/2 × 176,400 × 0.2²

              = 3,528 N

The same energy will then be converted to potential energy given by:

Energy = mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravity and h is the height above the ground.

Energy = mgh

3,528 = 40 × 9.8 × h

3,528 = 392h

h = 9 m

The standard emf for the cell using the overall cell reaction below is +2.20 V: 2Al(s) + 3I2 (s) → 2Al3+ (aq) + 6I− (aq) The emf
Triss [41]

Answer: +2.10V

Explanation:

2Al(s)+3I_2(s)\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}(aq)+6I^-(aq)

Using Nernst equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log K

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log [Al^{3+}]^2\times [I^-]^6

where,

E^o_{cell} = standard emf for the cell = +2.20 V

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 6

E_{cell} = emf of the cell = ?

[Al^{3+}]  = concentration = 5.0\times 10^{-3}M

[I}^{-}]  = concentration = 0.10M

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=+2.20-\frac{0.059}{6}\log [5.0\times 10^{-3}]^2\times [0.10]^6

E_{cell}=2.10V

The standard emf for the cell using the overall cell reaction below is +2.10 V
