Vlad [161]3 years ago

Answer with Explanation:

The acidity of an aqueous solution is a term used to identify how acidic the solution is. An acidic solution is a solution in which the concentration of hydrogen ions is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions. In the other case around if  the concentration of hydrogen ions is lesser than the concentration of hydroxide ions the solution is termed to be basic or alkaline. For a solution with equal concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions the solution is termed to be neutral.

The acidity of solutions is compared on the basis of the concentration of the hydrogen ions reduced to log of base 10 to ease calculations. The comparison is made in terms of 'pH' value which is defined as

pH=-log[H^+]

where

 [H^+] is the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution in moles per liter of solution.

If the pH is < 7 the solution is acidic and the closer the pH value to 1 the higher is the acidity of the solution.

An aluminum block weighing 28 kg initially at 140°C is brought into contact with a block of iron weighing 36 kg at 60°C in an in
Anika [276]

Answer:

Equilibrium Temperature is 382.71 K

Total entropy is 0.228 kJ/K

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the Aluminium block, M = 28 kg

Initial temperature of aluminium, T_{a} = 140^{\circ}C = 273 + 140 = 413 K

Mass of Iron block, m = 36 kg

Temperature for iron block, T_{i} = 60^{\circ}C = 273 + 60 = 333 K

At 400 k

Specific heat of Aluminium, C_{p} = 0.949\ kJ/kgK

At room temperature

Specific heat of iron, C_{p} = 0.45\ kJ/kgK

Now,

To calculate the final equilibrium temperature:

Amount of heat loss by Aluminium = Amount of heat gain by Iron

MC_{p}\Delta T = mC_{p}\Delta T

28\times 0.949(140 - T_{e}) = 36\times 0.45(T_{e} - 60)

Thus

T_{e} = 109.71^{\circ}C = 273 + 109.71 = 382.71 K

where

T_{e} = Equilibrium temperature

Now,

To calculate the changer in entropy:

\Delta s = \Delta s_{a} + \Delta s_{i}

Now,

For Aluminium:

\Delta s_{a} = MC_{p}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}

\Delta s_{a} = 28\times 0.949\times ln\frac{382.71}{413} = - 2.025\ kJ/K

For Iron:

\Delta s_{i} = mC_{i}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}

\Delta s_{a} = 36\times 0.45\times ln\frac{382.71}{333} = 2.253\ kJ/K

Thus

\Delta s =-2.025 + 2.253 = 0.228\ kJ/K

Which of the following is the LEAST-Likely cause of tire wear? A) Underinflation B) Braking C) Acceleration D) Tire rotation
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.

Explanation:

Step1

Under-inflation is the process of tire failure under low pressure. This contributes the wear on tire.

Step2

On breaking, kinetic energy changes to heat energy because of rubbing of tire. So, rubbing action increases the wear on the tire.

Step3

Acceleration on the vehicle increases the rubbing action as well as the wear and tear on the tire. So, acceleration is an also a major cause of tire wear.

Step4

Tire rotation has least amount of wear and tear due to no rubbing action.  It has less amount surface contact with the surface in rotation.  

Thus, tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.
