A vessel contains 1 mol of O2 and 2mol of He.what is the value of'Cp/Cv ' of the mixture?

1 answer:

6 0

Oxygen is diatomic, so its degree of freedom, (f1)= 5,
also its number of moles, n1= 1

Helium is monoatomic, so its degree of freedom (f2)= 3
and its number of moles given is, n2=2

Now using formula of effective degree of freedom of mixture, (f), we have:

f= (f1n1+f2n2)/(n1+n2)
= (5*1 + 3*2)/ (1+3)
=11/3
Also, from first law of thermodynamics;
U= n Cv. T = nRT(f2)
or, Cv = R. (f/2) (n & T cancel)

We know f=11/6,
substituting the value in above relation, we have:

Cv= R. 11/3*2
= R. 11/6

Also, Cp-Cv = R
or, Cp- R.(11/6)= R
or, Cp= R(11/6 )+1
= 17/6 R

Therefore, Cp/Cv = 17/11

Two ice skaters stand in the middle of an ice rink. Drew has a mass of 75 kg, and Lily has a mass of 55 kg. Drew holds Lily, and

ss7ja [257]

PART a)

Before Drew throw Lily in forwards direction they both stays at rest

So initial speed of both of them is zero

So here we can say that initial momentum of both of them is zero

So total momentum of the system initially = ZERO

PART b)

Since there is no external force on the system of two

so there will be no change in the momentum of this system and it will remain same as initial momentum

So final momentum of both of them will be ZERO

PART c)

As we know that momentum of both will be zero always

so we have

$P_1 + P_2 = 0$

$75(v) + 55(2) = 0$

$v = 1.47 m/s$ in opposite direction

in an automobile crash, a vehicle that was stopped at a red light is rear-ended by another vehicle. The vehicles have the same m

baherus [9]

The initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is 8 m/s.

Let the mass of the vehicle = m
Let the initial speed of the vehicle stopped = u
The initial speed of the vehicle parked at the red light = 0

<h3>Principle of conservation of linear momentum</h3>

The initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is calculated by applying principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

$m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = v(m_1 + m_2)\\\\mu + m(0) = 4(m+ m)\\\\mu = 4(2m)\\\\mu = 8m\\\\u = 8 \ m/s$

Thus, the initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is 8 m/s.

Give name of any two devices used to measure the amount of matter contained in a container

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Measuring cup and graduated cylinder

Explanation:

These tools measure the volume of liquid matter. Measuring cups are used frequently in cooking and provide measurements generally in ounces and grams. A graduated cylinder is used in laboratories and in research and allows for a greater degree of precision in measuring the volume.
