Typical residential shower controls mix streams of hot water (140 F, or 60 C) with cold water (60 F, or 15 C) to form a stream o

f 40 C (104 F) water. The entire system loses energy to the surroundings at a rate of 5 kJ/kg of exiting water. What is the ratio of cold water-to-hot water mass flow rates necessary to provide the 40 C water?

Answer:

  4:5

Explanation:

Let x represent the fraction of the mix that is hot water. Then the temperature of the mix is ...

  60x +15(1-x) = 40·1

  45x = 25 . . . . . . . . . subtract 15

  x = 25/45 = 5/9 . . . divide by the coefficient of x

This is the fraction that is hot water, so the fraction that is cold water is ...

  1-5/9 = 4/9

The ratio of cold to hot is ...

  cold : hot = (4/9) : (5/9) = 4 : 5

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

The problem assumes that the energy contained in a given mass of water is proportional to its temperature. That is almost true, sufficiently so that we can reasonably use that approximation.

If heat loss is figured into the problem, then additional information is needed regarding the energy content of water at temperatures in the range of interest. That is not provided by this problem statement, so we have ignored the heat loss.

AgNO₃+NaCl⇒AgCl+NaNO₃

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Double-Replacement reactions. Happens if there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

Reaction

AB + CD⇒AD + CB

So for the option :

1. synthesis/combination reaction

2. decomposition reaction

3. double replacement reaction

4. single replacement reaction

wolverine [178]

Magnesium combined with chlorine.

How?

  • Look at the question .Compound has -1 charge in it .Hence it contains Halogen.
  • Looking at the options Option B and C contain Iodine and chlorine i.e halogens .

Now come to metals side.

  • Potassium has valency 1(Look the Electronic configuration below)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1

Hence it will contain +1 charge which is omitted directly .

Now come to option C.

  • Magnesium has charge +2(Look at EC below

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

Hence the compound formed is given by

\\ \sf\longmapsto MgCl_2

Hence option C is correct.
