Why was it important to have endothermic and exothermic processes in the building materials of your train?

1 answer:

5 0

Before, trains worked using the steam engine. Thus, it uses heat so it is crucial to apply heat balance. The steam engine absorbs energy during the stage of boiling water. So, this is the endothermic reaction. When the steam is used to work the piston, it has to release this energy through running the train. The excess energy is released as an exhaust to the chimney. This is the exothermic process because it releases energy to the surroundings.

If you have a density of 100 kg/L and a mass of 1000 g what is the volume (please explain)

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: Volume = 0.01L

Explanation:

The density of a substance is given by; Density = Mass / Volume.

In this question, Mass = 1000g, Volume = ? and Density = 100 Kg/L

For the units to be uniform, we convert 1000g to Kg = 1Kg

Therefore, Volume = Mass / Density = 1Kg / 100Kg/L = 0.01L

The solubility of o2 at 20c is 1.38 x10^-3. the partial presure of o2 in the air at sea level is 0.27 atm. using henery;s law, c

Answer: The solubility of oxygen at 682 torr is $4.58\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{A}=K_H\times p_{A}$

Or,

$\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{p_{1}}{p_2}$

where,

$C_1\text{ and }p_1$ are the initial concentration and partial pressure of oxygen gas

$C_2\text{ and }p_2$ are the final concentration and partial pressure of oxygen gas

We are given:

Conversion factor used: 1 atm = 760 torr

$C_1=1.38\times 10^{-3}M\\p_1=0.27atm\\C_2=?\\p_2=682torr=0.897atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.38\times 10^{-3}}{C_2}=\frac{0.27atm}{0.897atm}\\\\C_2=\frac{1.38\times 10^{-3}\times 0.897atm}{0.27atm}=4.58\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the solubility of oxygen gas at 628 torr is $4.58\times 10^{-3}M$

What are function of lipids

olga2289 [7]

Lipids serve as structural components of cell membranes, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signalling molecules. They include fats, waxes, oils, hormones, and certain components of membranes and function as energy-storage molecules and chemical messengers.

Hope this helped :)
