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.

Lead has an atomic number of 82. Which statement describes all neutral atoms and ions of lead?
IRINA_888 [86]

The neutral atom of lead must have 82 protons while ions can have b or less than 82.

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of the element.

Also, for neutral atoms, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

In ionic form, the number of protons/electrons of an atom may vary and be different from that of the neutral form.

Positive charges mean that the ion has less proton than its neutral version while negative charges mean that it has more electrons than its neutral version.

Thus, the neutral atom of lead will contain an equal number of protons as the electrons while its ionic form can have more or less than 82 protons.

What is an element considered a pure substance?
Alona [7]

A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.
