Explanation:

It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.

               PV = nRT

The given data is as follows.

     Pressure, P = 1500 psia,     Temperature, T = 104^{o}F = 104 + 460 = 564 R

     Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft,      R = 10.73 psia ft^{3}/lb mol R

Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.

                n = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

            m = n \times W

                = 0.594 \times 16.04

                = 9.54 lb

Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.

  • We will calculate the density as follows.

                d = \frac{PM}{RT}

                    = \frac{1500 \times 16.04}{10.73 \times 564}

                    = 3.975 lb/ft^{3}

  • Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.

  Specific gravity relative to air = \frac{\text{density of methane}}{\text{density of air}}

                         = \frac{3.975 lb/ft^{3}}{0.0765 lb/ft^{3}}

                         = 51.96

The density of the fat tristearin is 0.95 g cm−3 . Calculate the change in molar Gibbs energy of tristearin when a deep-sea crea
KatRina [158]

The formula for the change in Gibbs energy of a solid is:

ΔG = Vm ΔP

where, ΔG is change in Gibbs, Vm is molar volume, ΔP is change in pressure

ΔP = P(final) – P(initial)

P(final) = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

P(initial) = ρ_water *g *h = (1030 kg/m^3) * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2000 m = 20188000 kg m/s^2 = 20188000 Pa

Vm = (950 kg/m^3) * (1000 mol / 891.48 kg) = 1065.64 mol/m^3

 

So,

ΔG = (1065.64 mol/m^3) * (101325 Pa - 20188000 Pa)

<span>ΔG = -21405164347 J = -21.4 GJ</span>

Why are metals alloyed?
Lady_Fox [76]
Because alloys have qualities that are preferable to pure metals, almost all metals are utilised as alloys—that is, mixes of several elements. Alloying is done for a variety of purposes, the most common of which are to increase strength, corrosion resistance, or cost savings.
