Answer:

The mean free path = 2.16*10^-6 m

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Pressure of gas P = 100 kPa

Temperature T = 300 K

collision cross section, σ = 2.0*10^-20 m2

Boltzmann constant, k = 1.38*10^-23 J/K

<u>To determine:</u>

The mean free path, λ

<u>Calculation:</u>

The mean free path is related to the collision cross section by the following equation:

\lambda =\frac{1}{n\sigma }------(1)

where n = number density

n = \frac{P}{kT}-----(2)

Substituting for P, k and T in equation (2) gives:

n = \frac{100,000 Pa}{1.38*10^{-23} J/K*300K} =2.42*10^{25}\  m^{3}

Next, substituting for n and σ in equation (1) gives:

\lambda =\frac{1}{2.42*10^{25}m^{-3}* .0*10^{-20}m^{2}}=2.1*10^{-6}m

Answer:

1) 90.0 mL

2) 11.25 M

3) 0.477 M

4) 144 mL

Explanation:

The main formula that will be used for all these calculations is:

                                                     C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

C stands for concentration and V stands for volume and the subscripts 1 and 2 indicate an initial concentration or volume and a final concentration or volume.

For each problem, it's best to start by figuring out what you have and what you need to find. Figure out if you're looking for an initial value or a final value.

1) We need to find the initial volume. So, take what values you have and plug them in and then solve for whatever variable:

5.00 M · V₁ = 500.0mL · 0.900 M                        - divide by 5.00

C₁ = 90.0 mL

2) This time we're finding the initial concentration:

20.0mL · C₁ = 150.0mL · 1.50 M                          - divide by 20.0mL

C₂ = 11.25 M

3) Now we're finding the final concentration:

12.00mL · 3.50 M = 88.0mL · C₂                         - divide by 88.0mL

C₂ = 0.477 M

4) Finally, we're looking for the final volume:

9.0mL · 8.0 M = 0.50 M · V₂                                - divide by 0.50 M

V₂ = 144mL

the problem say what is the volume (in kL) of 3.7505 x 10^4 mg of iron? Iron has a density of 7.87 g/ml. Use correct significant
Elis [28]
So first find the volume

so 7.78g/ml and (3.7505 times 10^4) grams
therefor we dividde (3.7505 times 10^4) by 7.78 and get how many ml

the answer is 4820.69 ml

kL means kilo lieters
kilo=1000
kL=1000Liters
ml=milileters=1/1000 leiter
1000ml=1L
therfor
1kL=1000L
1000L=1000 times (1000ml)
1000L=1,000,000ml
1kL=1,000,000ml

so to convert to kL divide 4820.69 by 1,000,000
0.00482069
convert to scientifiic notation
4.8 times 10^-3

the answer is 4.8 times 10^-3 kL

Calculate: (a) the weight (in lbf) of a 30.0 lbm object. (b) the mass in kg of an object that weighs 44N. (c) the weight in dyne
belka [17]

Answer:

a) 965,1 lbf

b) 4,5 kg

c) 1,33 * 10^6 dynes

Explanation:

Mass of an object refers to the amount of mattter it cotains, it can be expressed it gr, kg, lbm, ton, etc.

Weight of an object refers to a force, and is the measurement of the pull of gravitiy on an object. It may be definide as the mass times the acceleration of gravity.

                                        w=mg

In Planet Earth, the nominal "average" value for gravity is 9,8 m/s² (in the International  System) or 32,17 ft/s² (in the FPS system).

To solve this problem we'll use the following conversion factors:

1 lbf = 1 lbm*ft/s²

1 N = 1 kg*m/s²

1 dyne = 1 gr*cm/s²   and 1 N =10^5 dynes

1 ton = 907,18 kg

1 k = 1000 gr

a) m = 30 lbm

w = 30 lbm * 32,17 ft/s^{2} = 965, 1 \frac{lmb*ft}{s^{2} } = 965,1 lbf

b) w = 44 N

First, we clear m of the weight equation and then we replace our data.

m = \frac{w}{g} = \frac{44 N}{9,8 \frac{m}{{s}^{2}} } = 4,5 kg

c) m = 15 ton

m=15 ton * \frac{907,18 kg}{1 ton} = 13607,7 kg \\ w = mg = 13607,7 kg * 9,8 m/s2 = 133355,5 N * \frac{10^{5} dynes }{1 N} = 1,33 * 10^{6}dynes
