A freezer compartment is covered with a 2-mm-thick layer of frost at the time it malfunctions. If the compartment is in ambient

air at 20 °C and a coefficient of h 2 W/(m2 K) characterizes heat transfer by natural convection from the exposed surface of the layer, estimate the time required to completely melt the frost. The frost may be assumed to have a mass density of 700 kg/m3 and a latent heat of 334 kJ/kg.

Answer:

The time required to melt the frost is 3.25 hours.

Explanation:

The time required to melt the frost dependes on the latent heat of the frost and the amount of heat it is transfered by convection to the air .

The heat transferred per unit area can be expressed as:

q=h_c*A*\Delta T\\\\q/A=h_c*\Delta T

being hc the convective heat transfer coefficient (2 Wm^-2K^-1) and ΔT the difference of temperature (20-0=20 °C or K).

q/A=h_c*\Delta T=2\frac{W}{m^2K}*20K=40\frac{W}{m^2}

If we take 1 m^2 of ice, with 2 mm of thickness, we have this volume

V=T*A = 0.002 m * 1 m^2=0.002m^3

The mass of the frost can be estimated as

M=\rho * V=700\frac{kg}{m^3}*0.002m^3= 1.4 kg

Then,  the amount of heat needed to melt this surface (1 m²) of frost is

Q=L*M=334\frac{kJ}{kg}*1.4kg= 467.6kJ

The time needed to melt the frost can be calculated as

t=\frac{Q}{(q/A)}=\frac{467.6kJ/m2}{40W/m2} = 11.69\frac{kJ}{W}*\frac{1W*s}{1J}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ}=   11690s=3.25h

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

[S]<<KM             |   [S]=KM                  |  [S]>>KM                     | Not true

____________  |   Half of the active  | Reaction rate is         | Increasing

[E_{free}] is about   |    sites are filled of  |    independent of      |  [E_{Total}] will                                            

 equal to [E_{total}]. |                                 |   [S]                             | lower KM

_____________________________________________|____________

[ES] is much       |                                 | Almost all active

 lower than         |                                 | sites are filled

[E_{free}]                  |                                 |

Explanation:

Generally the combined enzyme[ES] is mathematically represented as

                   [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M + [S]}----(1)

for Michaelis-Menten equation

Where [S] is the substrate concentration and K_M is the Michaelis constant

Considering the statement [S] < < K_M

  Looking at the equation [S] is denominator so it can be ignored(it is far too small compared to K_M)  hence the above equation becomes

               [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M}

Since [S] is less than K_M it means that \frac{[S]}{K_M}  < < 1

so it means that [ES] < < [E_{total}]

  What this means is that the  number of combined enzymes[ES] i.e the number of occupied site is very small compared to the the total sites [E_{total}]  i.e the total enzymes concentration which means that the free sites [E_{free}]  i.e the concentration of free enzymes is almost equal to [E_{total}]

Considering the second statement

      [S] = K_M

So  this means that equation one would now become

           [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{2[S]} = \frac{[E_{total}]}{2}

So this means that half of the active sites that is the total enzyme concentration are filled with S

Considering the Third Statement

      [S] >>K_M

In this case the K_M in the denominator of equation 1 would be neglected and the equation becomes

       [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}] [S]}{[S]} = [E_{total}]

This means that almost all the sites are occupied with substrate

 The rate of this reaction is mathematically defined as

             v =\frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_M [S]}

Where v is the rate of the reaction(also know as the velocity of the reaction at a given time t) and V_{max}  is he maximum velocity of the reaction

In this case also the K_M at the denominator would be neglected as a result of the statement hence the equation becomes

                v = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{[S]} = V_{max}

So it means that the reaction does not depend on the concentration of substrate [S]

For the final statement(Not True ) it would match with condition that states that increasing [E_{total}] will lower K_M

This is because K_M does not depend on enzyme concentration it is a property of a enzyme

What is the IMA of the lever pictured?<br><br><br><br> 0.18<br> 0.20<br> 0.90<br> 5
IceJOKER [234]
<span>The ideal mechanical advantage represents the number of times the input force is multiplied under ideal conditions, that is with no friction. Actual mechanical advantage on the other hand stands for the number of times the input force is multiplied. 
Hence; IMA (ideal mechanical advantage)=Le/Lr
The Lr =0.3 +1.2 = 1.5 and Le= 0.3
       = 0.3/1.5 = 1/5;
therefore the correct answer is 0.2</span>
