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

An 8 N force is applied to a 2 kg object. What is the magnitude of the object's acceleration? A. 0.25 m/s² B. 4 m/s² C. 6 m/s² D
mel-nik [20]

Answer: 4m/s2 (B)

Explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

Force given is 8N

Mass=2kg

Acceleration =?

Substitute into the formula

F=ma

8=2a

A=8/2

A=4m/s2

Acceleration used is 4m/s2 (B)

Chromium(III) oxide reacts with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas to form chromium(III) sulfide and water: Cr2O3(s) + 3H2S(g) → Cr2S3(s
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

(a) 0.779 mol Cr₂O₃

(b) 118 g Cr₂O₃

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 156 g Cr₂S₃ to moles

Cr Molar Mass - 52.00 g/mol × 2 = 104.00 g/mol

S Molar Mass - 32.07 g/mol × 3 = 96.21 g/mol

156 g Cr₂S₃ ÷ 200.21 g/mol = 0.779182 mol Cr₂S₃

Step 2: Find conversion from Cr₂S₃ to Cr₂O₃

1 mol Cr₂S₃ equals 1 mol Cr₂O₃

Step 3: Use Dimensional Analysis

0.779182 mol Cr₂S₃ · \frac{1 \hspace{2} mol \hspace{2} Cr_2O_3}{1 \hspace{2} mol \hspace{2} Cr_2S_3} = 0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃

0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃ ≈ 0.779 mol Cr₂O₃ (3 significant figures)

Step 4: Convert moles to grams

Cr Molar Mass - 52.00 g/mol × 2 = 104.00 g/mol

O Molar Mass - 16.00 g/mol × 3 = 48.00 g/mol

0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃ · 152.00 g/mol = 118.436 g Cr₂O₃

118.436 g Cr₂O₃ ≈ 118 g Cr₂O₃ (3 significant figures)
