Vlad [161]2 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.

choli [55]

Answer:

189.15cy

Explanation:

To understand this problem we need to understand as well the form.

It is clear that there is four wall, two short and two long.

The two long are \rightarrow 120ft5in+2(10ft)

The two long are \rightarrow 122ft1in=122.08ft

The two shors are \rightarrow 86ft4.5in = 86.375ft

The height and the thickness are 14ft and 0.83ft respectively.

So we only calculate the Quantity of concrete,

Q_c = [(2*122.08)+(2*86-375)]*14*0.833\\Q_c=4864.02ft^3

That in cubic yards is equal to 180.15 (1cy=27ft^3)

Hence, we need order 5% plus that represent with the quantity

Q_{ordered}=1.05*180.15=189.15cy

To measure the voltage drop across a resistor, a _______________ must be placed in _______________ with the resistor. Ammeter; S
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The given blanks can be filled as given below

Voltmeter must be connected in parallel

Explanation:

A voltmeter is connected in parallel to measure the voltage drop across a resistor this is because in parallel connection, current is divided in each parallel branch and voltage remains same in parallel connections.

Therefore, in order to measure the same voltage across the voltmeter as that of the voltage drop across resistor, voltmeter must be connected in parallel.

A thick oak wall initially at 25°C is suddenly exposed to gases for which T =800°C and h =20 W/m2.K. Answer the following questi
Schach [20]

Answer:

a) What is the surface temperature, in °C, after 400 s?

   T (0,400 sec) = 800°C

b) Yes, the surface temperature is greater than the ignition temperature of oak (400°C) after 400 s

c) What is the temperature, in °C, 1 mm from the surface after 400 s?

   T (1 mm, 400 sec) = 798.35°C

Explanation:

oak initial Temperature = 25°C = 298 K

oak exposed to gas of temp = 800°C = 1073 K

h = 20 W/m².K

From the book, Oak properties are e=545kg/m³   k=0.19w/m.k   Cp=2385J/kg.k

Assume: Volume = 1 m³, and from energy balance the heat transfer is an unsteady state.

From energy balance: \frac{T - T_{\infty}}{T_i - T_{\infty}} = Exp (\frac{-hA}{evCp})t

Initial temperature wall = T_i

Surface temperature = T

Gas exposed temperature = T_{\infty}
