Since the sun is the main source of evaporation on earth's surface, then the answer should be Solar since solar refers to the sun. It's usually not visible though because it mostly occurs over oceans where it is not seen from the shores.

Answer: solar

Explanation: Evaporation is the phenomenon in which liquid vaporizes to gaseous form before its boiling point.

Thus energy is required for evaporation of liquids on earth's surface, which is mostly provided by sunlight.

Wind energy is used to drive the turbines to generate electrical energy.

Gravity acts on bodies which pulls them down towards earth's surface.

Electrical energy is due to movement of free electrons.

1. The pressure of a gas is 100.0 kPa and its volume is 500.0 ml. If the volume increases to 1,000.0 ml, what is the new pressur

marta [7]

Answer:

1) The new pressure of the gas is 500 kilopascals.

2) The final volume is 1.44 liters.

3) Volume will decrease by approximately 67 %.

4) The Boyle's Laws deals with pressures and volumes.

Explanation:

1) From the Equation of State for Ideal Gases we construct the following relationship:

$\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}, P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kPa.

$V_{1}, V_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in mililiters.

If we know that $P_{1} = 100\,kPa$ , $V_{1} = 500\,mL$ and $V_{2} = 1000\,mL$ , then the new pressure of the gas is:

$P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)$

$P_{2} = 500\,kPa$

The new pressure of the gas is 500 kilopascals.

2) Let suppose that gas experiments an isothermal process. From the Equation of State for Ideal Gases we construct the following relationship:

$\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}, P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kPa.

$V_{1}, V_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in mililiters.

If we know that $V_{1} = 3.60\,L$ , $P_{1} = 10\,kPa$ and $P_{2} = 25\,kPa$ then the new volume of the gas is:

$V_{2} = V_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}} \right)$

$V_{2} = 1.44\,L$

The final volume is 1.44 liters.

3) From the Equation of State for Ideal Gases we construct the following relationship:

$\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}, P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kPa.

$V_{1}, V_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in mililiters.

If we know that $\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = 3$ , then the volume ratio is:

$\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} = 3$

$\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}$

Volume will decrease by approximately 67 %.

Pressure gauge at the top of a vertical oil well registers 140 bars. The oil well is 6000 m deep and filled with natural gas dow

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

(a) The given data is as follows.

Pressure on top ( $P_{o}$ ) = 140 bar = $1.4 \times 10^{7} Pa$ (as 1 bar = $10^{5}$ )

Temperature = $15^{o}C$ = (15 + 273) K = 288 K

Density of gas = $\frac{PM}{ZRT}$

$\frac{dP}{dZ} = \rho \times g$

$\frac{dP}{dZ} = \int \frac{PM}{ZRT}$

$\int_{P_{o}}^{P_{1}} \frac{dP}{dZ} = \frac{Mg}{ZRT} \int_{0}^{4700} dZ$

$ln (\frac{P_{1}}{P_{o}}) = \frac{18.9 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.81 \times 4700 m}{0.80 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 288 K}$

= 0.4548

$P_{1} = P_{o} \times e^{0.4548}$

= $1.4 \times 10^{7} Pa \times 1.5797$

= $2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa$

Hence, pressure at the natural gas-oil interface is $2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa$ .

(b) At the bottom of the tank,

$P_{2} = P_{1} + \rho \times g \times h$

= 2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa + 700 \times 9.81 \times (6000 - 4700)[/tex]

= $309.8 \times 10^{5} Pa$

= 309.8 bar

Hence, at the bottom of the well at $15^{o}C$ pressure is 309.8 bar.

Water is added to liquid isopropanol (a polar liquid) to form a solution of rubbing alcohol. Describe what happens on the molecu

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Explanation:

Since liquid isopropanol is a polar liquid and water is also a polar solvent. So, when both of them are added together then according to the like dissolves like principle they get dissolved.

At the molecular level, the polar molecules of isopropanol get attracted towards the polar molecules of water at the surface of water.

As a result, water molecules get surrounded by isopropanol. Thus, water molecules enter the solution and evenly spread into the solution.

The pKb of the base cyclohexamine, C6H11NH2, is 3.36. What is the pKa of the conjugate acid, C6H11NH3

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

10.64

Explanation:

Let's consider the basic reaction of cyclohexamine, C₆H₁₁NH₂.

C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻ pKb = 3.36

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ is its conjugate acid, since it donates H⁺ to form C₆H₁₁NH₂. C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ acid reaction is as follows:

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq) pKa

We can find the pKa of C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ using the following expression.

pKa + pKb = 14.00

pKa = 14.00 - pKb = 14.00 - 3.36 = 10.64
