Thermodynamic Properties: Two identical, sealed, and well-insulated jars contain different gases at the same temperature. Each c

ontainer contains the same number of moles of gas. Container 1 contains helium, a monotomic gas with a molecular weight of 4.0 kg/kMol. Container 2 contains CO2, a triatomic linear molecule with a molecular weight of 44 kg/kMol. (a) Which gas has higher internal energy? (b) Which gas has higher translational energy? (c) Which gas has higher pressure?

Explanation:

Let us assume that the gas is ideal gas in the given problem.

(a)  Hence, expression for internal energy of a monoatomic gas is as follows.

            U = \frac{3}{2}RT

As there are three kinds of translations possible for a mono atomic ideal gas. Therefore, no rotation is possible.

And, according to equipartition theorem, each possible rotation, translation or vibration can contribute  to the internal energy of the system.

And, for Helium  a mono atomic ideal gas,

     U_{He} = \frac{3}{2}RT

For carbon dioxide, which is considered a linear triatomic molecule, there are  3 translations possible, 2 rotations possible and 4 vibrations possible.

But vibrations contribute RT to the energy

So, U_{CO_{2}} = \frac{3}{2}RT + \frac{2}{2}RT + 4RT = \frac{13}{2}RT

Therefore,  has higher internal energy.

(b) Irrespective of the type of the molecule, there are only 3 translation states possible. So, translational kinetic energy is equal to

               U_{trans} = \frac{3}{2}RT

is equal for both helium and carbon dioxide.

(c)  It is known that the ideal gas equation is given as follows.

                  PV = nRT

Here, it is given that

T is same (same temperature)

n is same (no of moles of gas)

V is same (identical container)

R is a constant.

So, P is equal for both gases.

Metal ores

Explanation:

in an area where subduction has occurred in times past, metal ores are likely to be found.

Metallic ores find subduction zone regions very favorable to crystallize out of a magma.

  • Ores have different modes of formation.
  • Typically, they are found in hydrothermal vents and black smokers of igneous intrusives.
  • These are igneous terrains where metallic sulfides and other minerals crystallize out of magmatic body.
  • Metals in magma usually have large sizes and do not partition easily in the melt.

At a subduction zone, partial melting of the subducting plate forces magma into nearby country rock as an intrusive and to the ocean floor where they form black smokers.

Please help with 3 questions about acceleration
Goryan [66]

A great, helpful, useful definition of acceleration is

<em>A = (change in speed) / (time for the change)</em> .   <== you should memorize this

This simple tool will directly solve all 3 problems.

The REASON for assigning these problems for homework is NOT to find the answers.  It's to help YOU find out whether you know this definition, to let you go back and review it if you don't, and to give you a chance to practice using it if you do.  Noticed that if you get the answers from somebody else, you lose all of these benefits.

The only wrinkle anywhere here is in #3, because when you use this definition,      the unit of time has to be the same in both the numerator and the denominator.  

So for #3, you have to EITHER  change the km/hr to km/sec, OR change the 4sec to a fraction of an hour, before you plug anything into the definition.

Suppose we have three hypothetical atomic nuclei: A, B, and C. Nucleus A has 7 protons and 7 neutrons. Nucleus B has 5 protons a
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Nucleus A with 7 protons and 7 neutrons and Nucleus C with 7 protons and 5 neutrons are isotopes of the same elements

Explanation:

Isotopes are elements that have the same atomic structure but different molecular structure. An atom that has the same atomic number but different mass number are known to be isotopes.

The proton of an atom is the same as its atomic number while the sum of the proton and neutron is equal to its mass number.

According to the question, nuclei that has the same number of proton are isotopes of the same element. Therefore nuclei A and C with 7 protons each are isotopes of the same element since they have the same atomic number i.e number of proton = atomic number.

Their atomic masses of nuclei A and C are 14 and 12 respectively

A bungee cord can stretch, but it is never compressed. When the distance between the two ends of the cord is less than its unstr
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

g=9.8m/s²

The spring constant is

k=50N/m

The length of the bungee cord is

Lo=32m

Height of bridge which one end of the bungee is tied is 91m

A steel ball of mass 92kg is attached to the other end of the bungee.

The potential energy(Us) of the steel ball before dropped from the bridge is given as

P.E= mgh

P.E= 92×9.8×91

P.E= 82045.6 J

Us= 82045.6 J

Potential energy)(Uc) of the cord is given as

Uc= ½ke²

Where 'e' is the extension

Then the extension is final height extended by cord minus height of cord

e=hf - hi

e=hf - 32

Uc= ½×50×(hf-32)²

Uc=25(hf-32)²

Using conservation of energy,

Then,

The potential energy of free fall equals the potential energy in string

Uc=Us

25(hf-32)²=82045.6

(hf-32)² = 82045.6/25

(hf-32)²=3281.825

Take square root of both sides

√(hf-32)²=√(3281.825)

hf-32=57.29

hf=57.29+32

hf=89.29m

We neglect the negative sign of the root because the string cannot compressed

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦
bija089 [108]
At stp (standard temperature and pressure), the temperature is T=0 C=273 K and the pressure is p=1.00 atm. So we can use the ideal gas law to find the number of moles of helium:
pV=nRT
where p is the pressure (1.00 atm), V the volume (20.0 L), n the number of moles, T the temperature (273 K) and R=0.082 atm L K^{-1} mol^{-1} the gas constant. Using the numbers and re-arranging the formula, we can calculate n:
n= \frac{pV}{RT}= \frac{(1.00atm)(20.0L)}{(0.082 LatmK^{-1}mol^{-1})(273 K)}=0.89 mol
