Materials expand when heated. Consider a metal rod of length L0 at temperature T0. If the temperature is changed by an amount ΔT

, then the rod’s length changes by ΔL=αL0ΔT, where α is the thermal expansion coefficient.
For steel, α=1.24×10−5∘C−1.(a) A steel rod has length L0=40cm at T0=40∘C. What is its length at T=180∘C?
(Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.)
L≈cm
(b) Find its length at T=90∘C if its length at T0=120∘C is 65 in.
(Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.)
L≈ in.
(c) Express length L as a function of T and α if L0=60in. at T0=150∘C.

Answer:

(a) The length at temperature 180°C is 40.070 cm

(b) The length at temperature 90°C is 64.976 inches

(c) L(T, α) = 60·α·T - 9000·α + 60

Explanation:

(a) The given parameters are

The thermal expansion coefficient, α for steel = 1.24 × 10⁻⁵/°C

The initial length of the steel L₀ = 40 cm

The initial temperature, t₀ = 40°C

The length at temperature 180°C = L

Therefore, from the given relation, for change in length, ΔL, we have;

ΔL = α × L₀ × ΔT

The amount the temperature changed ΔT = 180°C - 40°C = 140°C

Therefore, the change in length, ΔL, is found as follows;

ΔL = α × L₀ × ΔT = 1.24 × 10⁻⁵/°C × 40 × 140°C = 0.07 cm

Therefore, L =  L₀ + ΔL = 40 + 0.07 = 40.07 cm

The length at temperature 180°C = 40.07 cm

(b) Given that the length at T = 120°C is 65 in., we have;

The temperature at which the new length is sought = 90°C

The amount the temperature changed ΔT = 90°C - 120°C = -30°C

ΔL = α × L₀ × ΔT = 1.24 × 10⁻⁵/°C × 65 × -30°C = -0.024375 inches

The length, L at 90°C is therefore, L = L₀ + ΔL = 65 - 0.024375 = 64.976 in.

The length at temperature 90°C = 64.976 inches

(c) L = L₀ + ΔL  = L₀ +  α × L₀ × ΔT = L₀ +  α × L₀ × (T - T₀)

Therefore;

L = 60 +  α × 60 × (T - 150°C)

L = 60 + α × 60 × T - 9000 × α

L(T, α) = 60·α·T - 9000·α + 60

Consider the equilibrium reaction and its equilibrium constant expression. Br 2 ( g ) + 2 NO ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 NOBr ( g ) K = [ NO
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

K_2=\frac{[NOBr]^4_{eq}}{[NO]^4_{eq}[Br]^2_{eq}}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the equilibrium condition, the equilibrium constant is defined via the law of mass action, which states that the division between the concentrations of the products over the concentration of the reactants at equilibrium equals the equilibrium constant, for the given reaction:

2 Br_2 ( g ) + 4 NO ( g ) \rightleftharpoons  4NOBr ( g )

The suitable equilibrium constant turns out:

K_2=\frac{[NOBr]^4_{eq}}{[NO]^4_{eq}[Br]^2_{eq}}

Or in terms of the initial equilibrium constant:

K_2=K_1^2

Since the second reaction is a doubled version of the first one.

Best regards.

iogann1982 [59]
False, the radiation from food and medical procedures have very little consequences. The radiation from a nuclear power plant can kill people which makes it a very large problem if not contained properly.
