A gas is placed in a storage tank at a pressure of 49.2 atm at 39.0C . As a safety device, a small metal plug in the tank is mad

e of a metal alloy that melts at 198C . If the tank is heated, what is the maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas?

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.

Compare and Contrast refracting and reflecting microscopes?
mario62 [17]
Eyepiece is magnifies the image so you can see it clearly. Compare and contrast how images form in a refracting telescope reflection telescope and microscope. ...Refracting telescope is uses two lenses to locate somethings. Reflecting telescope uses a large concave mirror to gather light.

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

When it was first made, it was heavier

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

So there was originally air in the Ice Cream because they fluff it up like that. When it melts, those are gone.

Three resistors of 4.0 ohms, 6.0 ohms, and 12 ohms are connected in parallel to an applied potential difference of 12 volts. (1)
lesantik [10]

Answer:

(1) 2 ohms

(2) 12 Volts Across each resistor

(3) I₁ = 3 A, I₂ = 2 A, I₃ = 1 A

Explanation:

From the question,

(1) Equilvalent Resistance (Rt) for parallel connection is

1/Rt =(1/R₁)+ (1/R₂) + (1/R₃)

Where R₁ = 4 ohms, R₂ = 6 ohms, R₃ = 12 ohms

1/Rt = 1/4 +1/6 +1/12

1/Rt = (3+2+1)/12

1/Rt = 6/12

1/Rt = 1/2

Rt = 2 ohms.

(2) Since the resistors are connected in parallel, They will have the same potential difference across them,

Hence the P.d across each resistor = 12 Volts.

(3) For R₁,

I₁ = V/R₁ = 12/4

I₁ = 3 A.

For R₂,

I₂ = V/R₂

I₂ = 12/6

I₂ = 2 A

For R₃,

I₃ = V/R₃

I₃ = 12/12

I₃ = 1 A

Strong solar winds blew dust and gas out of the solar system during which phase of the development of the Sun?
ipn [44]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

a. <span>Alpha Centauri </span>
<span>c. </span><span>T-tauri </span>
<span>b. </span><span>The Big Bang </span>
<span>d. </span><span>Nebular
</span>
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. <span>Strong solar winds blew dust and gas out of the solar system during Nebular phase. This seems to be the most logical option from the choices. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.</span>
