Answer:

Alfred Wegener gave the continental drift theory. On the basis of his theory, the world was a solitary compressed protocontinent at the beginning, which afterward got drifted away into distinct continents as seen today. He named this protocontinent as Pangaea that means all the lands. In order to support this theory, he further stated that a land bridge once prevailed between Africa and Brazil, and thus, one can witness identical fossilized animals and plants in the two parts of the planet.

A fluid occupying has a mass of 4mg. Calculate its density and specific volume in SI, EE, and BG units.

kondaur [170]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

A fluid occupying $3.2 m^3$ of volume has a mass of 4 Mg. Calculate its density and specific volume in SI, EE, and BG units.

Explanation:

1) Mass of liquid = m = 4 Mg = 4 × 1,000 kg = 4,000 kg

(1 Mg = 1000 kg)

Volume of the fluid = V = $3.2 m^3$

Density of the fluid = D

$D=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{4,000 kg}{3.2 m^3}=1,250 kg/m^3$

Specific volume is the reciprocal of the density :

$V_{specific}=\frac{1}{Density}$

Specific volume of the fluid = $S_v$

$S_v=\frac{1}{D}=\frac{1}{1,250 kg/m^3}=0.0008 m^3/kg$

Density of the fluid in English Engineering units = D $(lb/ft^3)$

1 kg = 2.20462 lb

1 m = 3.280 ft

$D=\frac[1,250\times 2.20462 lb}{(3.280 ft)^3=78.95 lb/ft^3$

Specific volume of the fluid :

$=\frac{1}{78.95 lb/ft^3}=0.0127 ft^3/lb$

Density of the fluid in British Gravitational System units = D $(slug/ft^3)$

1 kg = 0.06852 slug

1 m = 3.280 ft

$D=\frac[1,250\times 0.0685218 slug}{(3.280 ft)^3=2.43 slug/ft^3$

Specific volume of the fluid :

$=\frac{1}{2.43 slug/ft^3}=0.412 ft^3/slug$

Why doesnt it exist?

belka [17]

Answer:

He2 molecule contains 4 electrons. Each atom gives 2 electrons in 1s orbitals. This way 2 (1s) orbitals combine to give 2 molecular orbitals viz. ... This indicates that there is no bond formation between 2 HE atoms and hence the He2 molecule does not exist.

A sample of 5.30 mLmL of diethylether (C2H5OC2H5;density=0.7134g/mL)(C2H5OC2H5;density=0.7134g/mL) is introduced into a 6.50 L L

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

1.16atm

Explanation:

We are going to derive the mass of ether from density

mass=density *volume

Also moles=mass/molecular mass

molar mass C2H5OC2H5 =74.12 g/mole

the density of ether is 0.7134 g/ml

mass C2H5OC2H5 = 5.30 ml x 0.7134 g/ml = 3.78 g

moles C2H5OC2H5 =3.78 g x 1 mole/74.12 g = 0.0509 moles

PV = nRT where P=?; n=0.0509 moles; V=6.50L; R=0.0821 Latm/Kmol; T=35ºC +273 = 308K

P = nRT/V = 0.0509)(0.0821)(308)/6.50

P = 0.198 atm (to 3 significant figures (this is the partial pressure of diethyl ether).

TOTAL PRESSURE

P1+p2+p3

= 0.198 atm + 0.750 atm + 0.207 atm =1.1550atm

1.16atm(3 significant figures)
