Air, with an initial absolute humidity of 0.016 kg water per kg dry air, is to be dehumidified for a drying process by an air co

nditioning unit which reduces humidity to 0.002 kg per kg. However, the required humidity at the drier inlet is 0.004 kg per kg and part of the air therefore must by- pass the conditioning unit. Determine: (a) the percentage dry air by passing the unit and (b) the mass of water removed per 100 kg dry air feed.

Answer:

(a) The proportion of dry air bypassing the unit is 14.3%.

(b) The mass of water removed is 1.2 kg per 100 kg of dry air.

Explanation:

We can express the proportion of air that goes trough the air conditioning unit as p_{d} and the proportion of air that is by-passed as p_{bp}, being p_{d}+p_{bp}=1.

The amount of water that goes into the drier inlet has to be 0.004 kg/kg, and can be expressed as:

0.004 = 0.016*p_{bp}+ 0.002*p_{d}

Replacing the first equation in the second one we have

0.004 = 0.016*(1-p_{d})+ 0.002*p_{d}=0.016-0.016*p_{d}+0.002*p_{d}\\0.004 - 0.016 = (-0.016+0.002)*p_{d}\\-0.012 = -0.014*p_{d}\\p_{d}=\frac{-0.012}{-0.014}=0.857\\\\p_{bp}=1-p_{d}=1-0.857=0.143

(b) Of every kg of dry air feed, 85.7% goes in to the air conditioning unit.

It takes (0.016-0.002)=0.014 kg water per kg dry air feeded.

The water removed of every 100 kg of dry air is

100 kgDA*0.857*0.014 kgW/kgDA= 1.1998 \approx 1.2 kgW

It can also be calculated as the difference in humiditiy between the inlet and the outlet: (0.016-0.004=0.012 kgW/kDA) and multypling by the total amount of feed (100 kgDA).

100 * 0.012 = 1.2 kgW

Palladium (Pd; Z 46) is diamagnetic. Draw partial orbital diagrams to show which of the following electron configurations is con
nexus9112 [7]

Answer : The electron configurations consistent with this fact is, (b) [Kr] 4d¹⁰  

Explanation :

Electronic configuration : It is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

Number of electrons in an atom are determined by the electronic configuration.

Paramagnetic compounds : They have unpaired electrons.

Diamagnetic compounds : They have no unpaired electrons that means all are paired.

The given electron configurations of Palladium are:

(a) [Kr] 5s²4d⁸

In this, there are 2 electrons in 's' orbital and 8 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that 's' orbital are paired but 'd' orbital are not paired. So, this configuration shows paramagnetic.

(b) [Kr] 4d¹⁰

In this, there are 10 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that electrons in 'd' orbital are paired. So, this configuration shows diamagnetic.

(c) [Kr] 5s¹4d⁹

In this, there are 1 electron in 's' orbital and 9 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that 's' orbital and 'd' orbital are not paired. So, this configuration shows paramagnetic.

Hydrogen is used as a rocket fuel because it is very light and reacts explosively and completely with oxygen. For the combustion
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

1. K<10−3

Explanation:

Equilibrium Constant is an expression which involves the concentration of the product divided by the concentration of the reactant molecules.

However the concentration of the pure liquid and pure solid is regarded as 1.

Equilibrium expression for the equation 2H2(g)+O2(g)⇌2H2O(g)

Equilibrium Constant = [H2O]^2/[H2]^2 x [O2]

Since H2O is a pure liquid, its concentration = 1

There fore;

Equilibrium Constant = 1/[H2]^2 x [O2]

This shows that the Equilibrium Constant of the equation will be less than 1 and greater than 0.

Why must every redox reaction involve an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent?
vagabundo [1.1K]

A reduced element (which gains electrons) and an oxidized element are required for redox reactions (gives electrons). It is not a redox reaction if we lack both of them (an element can not receive electrons if no element gives electrons and vice versa).

A reduced half and an oxidized half, which always occur together, make up redox processes. While the oxidized half experiences electron loss and an increase in oxidation number, the reduced half obtains electrons and the oxidation number declines. The mnemonic devices OIL RIG, which stand for "oxidation is loss" and "reduction is gain," are simple ways to memorize this. In a redox process, the total number of electrons stays constant. In the reduction half reaction, another species absorbs those that were released in the oxidation half reaction.

In a redox reaction, two species exchange electrons, and they are given unique names:

  • The ion or molecule that accepts electrons is called the oxidizing agent - by accepting electrons it oxidizes other species.
  • The ion or molecule that donates electrons is called the reducing agent - by giving electrons it reduces the other species.

Hence, what is oxidized is the reducing agent and what is reduced is the oxidizing agent.

<h3>What is the purpose of oxidizing agents and reducing agents?</h3>

By reducing other compounds and shedding electrons, a reducing agent raises its oxidation state. An oxidizing agent gets electrons by oxidizing other compounds; as a result, its oxidation state lowers.

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

Oxidation-reduction (or "redox") reactions are chemical processes in which electrons are exchanged between two substances. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical process in which a molecule, atom, or ion alters the number of electrons it has, hence increasing or decreasing its oxidation state.
