A nuclear reactor core must stay at or below 95 °C to remain in good working condition. Cool water at a temperature of 10 °C is

used to cool the reactor. If the reactor emits 23746 kJ of energy each hour, how many grams of water must circulate each hour in order to keep the reactor at or below 95 °C?

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{67 000 g}}

Explanation:

This is a problem in calorimetry — the measurement of the quantities of heat that flow from one object to another.

It is based on the Law of Conservation of Energy — Energy can be transformed from one type to another, but it cannot be destroyed or created.

If heat flows out of the reactor (negative), the same amount of heat must flow into the water (positive).

Since there is no change in total energy,

heat₁ + heat₂ = 0

The symbol for the quantity of heat transferred is q, so we can rewrite the word equation as

q₁ + q₂  = 0

The formula for the heat absorbed or released by an object is

 q = mCΔT, where

 m = the mass of the sample

  C = the specific heat capacity of the sample, and

ΔT = T_f - T_i = the change in temperature

1. Equation

There are two heat flows in this problem,

heat released by reactor + heat absorbed by water = 0

               q₁                  +                        q₂                     = 0

               q₁                  +                 m₂C₂ΔT₂                 = 0

2. Data:

q₁ = -23 746 kJ

m₂ = ?; C₂ = 4.184 J°C⁻¹g⁻¹;  T_f = 95 °C; T_i = 10 °C

3. Calculations

(a) Convert kilojoules to joules

q_{1} = -\text{23 746 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 J}}{\text{1 kJ}} = -\text{23 746 000 J}

(b) ΔT  

ΔT₂ = T_f - T_i = 95 °C - 10 °C = 85 °C

(c) m₂

\begin{array}{rcl}q_{1} + q_{2} & = & 0\\\text{-23 746 000 J} + m_{2} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times 85 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & 0\\\text{-23 746 000 J} + 356m_{2} \text{J$\cdot$g}^{-1} & = & 0\\356m_{2} \text{g}^{-1} & = & 23746000\\m_2&=& \dfrac{23746000}{\text{356 g}^{-1}}\\\\ & = & \textbf{67000 g}\\\end{array}\\

\text{You must circulate $\large \boxed{\textbf{67 000 g}}$ of water each hour.}

Answer:

Option D. 400 mmHg

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mole of He (nHe) = 0.04 mole

Mole of Ne (nNe) = 0.06 mole

Total pressure = 10³ mmHg

Partial pressure of He =.?

Next, we shall determine the total number of mole in the reaction vessel.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of He (nHe) = 0.04 mole

Mole of Ne (nNe) = 0.06 mole

Total mole =?

Total mole = nHe + nNe

Total mole = 0.04 + 0.06

Total mole = 0.1

Next, we shall determine the mole fraction of He.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mole fraction = mole of gas /total mole

Mole of He (nHe) = 0.04 mole

Total mole = 0.1

Mole fraction of He =.?

Mole fraction of He = nHe/total mole

Mole fraction of He = 0.04/0.1

Mole fraction of He = 0.4

Finally, we shall determine the partial pressure of He as follow:

Partial pressure = mole fraction x total pressure

Mole fraction of He = 0.4

Total pressure = 10³ mmHg

Partial pressure of He =.?

Partial pressure of He = 0.4 x 10³

Partial pressure of He = 400 mmHg.

Therefore, the partial pressure of He is 400 mmHg.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer;

K+ and NO3- ions

Explanation;

The main ions remaining are K+ and NO3- ions after pbi2 precipitation is complete.

However; There will always be tiny amounts of Pb2+ and I- ions, but most of them are in the solid precipitate.
