The steam releases 39.9 kJ when it condenses..

The steam condenses and transfers its energy to the skin.

<em>q = m</em>Δ<em>H</em>_cond = 17.7 g × (-2257 J/1 g) = -39 900 kJ = -39.9 kJ

The negative sign shows that the steam is releasing energy

A 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is usually used in an automobile's engine cooling system. If a car's cooli

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

109.09°C

Explanation:

Given that:

the capacity of the cooling car system = 5.6 gal

volume of solute = volume of the water; since a 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is used.

∴ $\frac{5.60}{2}gallons = 2.80 gallons$

Afterwards, the mass of the solute and the mass of the water can be determined as shown below:

mass of solute = $(M__1}) = Density*Volume$

$= 1.1g/mL *2.80*\frac{3785.41mL}{1gallon}$

$= 11659.06grams$

On the other hand; the mass of water = $(M__2})= Density*Volume$

$= 0.998g/mL *2.80*\frac{3785.41mL}{1gallon}$

$= 10577.95 grams$

Molarity = $\frac{massof solute*1000}{molarmassof solute*massofwater}$

= $\frac{11659.06*1000}{62.07*10577.95}$

= 17.757 m

≅ 17.76 m

∴ the boiling point of the solution is calculated using the boiling‑point elevation constant for water and the Molarity.

$\Delta T_{boiling} = k_{boiling}M$

where,

$k_{boiling}$ = 0.512 °C/m

$\Delta T_{boiling}$ = 100°C + 17.56 × 0.512

= 109.09 °C

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.

General formulas used in decay:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}$

T = duration of decay

t 1/2 = half-life

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time

Nt=25 g

No=100 g

t1/2=5770 years

$\tt 25=100\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\2=T/5770\rightarrowT=11540~years$

Salt in crude oil must be removed before the oil undergoes processing in a refinery. The

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{0.64 \, \%}$

Explanation:

Assume you are using 1 L of water.

Then you are washing 4 L of salty oil.

1. Calculate the mass of the salty oil

Assume the oil has a density of 0.86 g/mL.

$\text{Mass of oil} = \text{4000 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.86 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \text{3440 g}$

2. Calculate the mass of salt in the salty oil

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{3440 g} \times \dfrac{\text{5 g salt}}{\text{100 g oil}} = \text{172 g salt}$

3. Calculate the mass of salt in the spent water

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{1000 g water} \times \dfrac{\text{15 g salt}}{\text{100 g water}} = \text{150 g salt}$

4. Mass of salt remaining in washed oil

Mass = 172 g - 150 g = 22 g

5. Concentration of salt in washed oil

$\text{Concentration} = \dfrac{\text{22 g}}{\text{3440 g}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{0.64 \, \%}\\\\\text{The concentration of salt in the washed oil is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{0.64 \, \%}}$}$
