Answer:

Boiling point of HF is higher as compared to HCl because of presence of hydrogen bonding in it.

Explanation:

In HF, intermolecular force of attraction is hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of electrostatic force of attraction existing between H atom and electronegative atom.

For a molecule to have hydrogen bonding, H atom must be bonded to electronegative atom, O, N and F.

Hydrogen bonding can be intermolecular and intramolecular.

So, in HF hydrogen bonding present.

In HCl, only van der Waals force exists. van der Waals forces are weak as compared to hydrogen bonding.

Because of presence of hydrogen bonding, HF molecules are held tightly and so requires more heat to boil.

Therefore, boiling point of HF is more as compared to HCl.

A cylindrical brass rod has a length of 5.00cm extending from a holder and a diameter of 4.50mm. Its Young's modulus is 98.0GPa.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

elongation of the brass rod is 0.01956 mm

Explanation:

given data

length = 5 cm = 50 mm

diameter = 4.50 mm

Young's modulus = 98.0 GPa

load = 610 N

to find out

what will be the elongation of the brass rod in mm

solution

we know here change in length formula that is express as

δ = \frac{PL}{AE}    ................1

here δ is change in length and P is applied load  and A id cross section area and E is Young's modulus and L is length

so all value in equation 1

δ = \frac{PL}{AE}  

δ = \frac{610*50}{\frac{\pi}{4} * 4.50^2 * 98*10^3}  

δ = 0.01956 mm

so elongation of the brass rod is 0.01956 mm

A geothermal heat pump absorbs 15 KJ/s of heat from the Earth 15 m below a house. This heat pump uses a 7.45 kJ/s compressor.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

COP of the heat pump is 3.013

OP of the cycle is  1.124

Explanation:

W = Q₂ - Q₁

Given

a)

Q₂ = Q₁ + W

     = 15 + 7.45

     = 22.45 kw

COP = Q₂ / W = 22.45 / 7.45 = 3.013

b)

Q₂ = 15 x 1.055 = 15.825 kw

therefore,

Q₁ = Q₂ - W

Q₁ = 15.825 - 7.45 = 8.375

∴ COP = Q₁ / W = 8.375 / 7.45 = 1.124

What is a Flame Front Generator?
Inessa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Flame Front Generator: It is a ignition system which is very useful in flaring system .In this system the air and gases are mixed together and make a combustible air gas mixture. There is a flame front region where the combustion reaction takes place , it is the region where gases as like hydrogen and air mixed with each other and form combustible gases.

A Pitot-static probe is used to measure the speed of an aircraft flying at 3000 m. If the differential pressure reading is 3200
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Speed of aircraft ; (V_1) = 83.9 m/s

Explanation:

The height at which aircraft is flying = 3000 m

The differential pressure = 3200 N/m²

From the table i attached, the density of air at 3000 m altitude is; ρ = 0.909 kg/m3

Now, we will solve this question under the assumption that the air flow is steady, incompressible and irrotational with negligible frictional and wind effects.

Thus, let's apply the Bernoulli equation :

P1/ρg + (V_1)²/2g + z1 = P2/ρg + (V_2)²/2g + z2

Now, neglecting head difference due to high altitude i.e ( z1=z2 ) and V2 =0 at stagnation point.

We'll obtain ;

P1/ρg + (V_1)²/2g = P2/ρg

Let's make V_1 the subject;

(V_1)² = 2(P1 - P2)/ρ

(V_1) = √(2(P1 - P2)/ρ)

P1 - P2 is the differential pressure and has a value of 3200 N/m² from the question

Thus,

(V_1) = √(2 x 3200)/0.909)

(V_1) = 83.9 m/s

Given a force of 72 lbs at a distance of 15 ft, calculate the moment produced.​
Elis [28]

Answer:

1425.78 N.m

Explanation:

Moments of force is calculated as ;

Moments= Force * distance

M= F*d

The S.I unit for moment of force is Newton-meter (N.m)

Given in the question;

Force = 72 lbs

1 pound = 4.45 N

72 lbs = 4.45 * 72=320.4 N

Distance= 15 ft

1ft= 0.3048 m

15 ft = 15*0.3048 = 4.57 m

d= 4.57 m

M= F*d

M=320.4*4.57 =1425.78 N.m
