Dry ice (solid CO2) has occasionally been used as an "explosive" in mining. A hole is drilled, dry ice and a small amount of gun

powder are placed in the hole, a fuse is added, and the hole is plugged. When lit, the exploding gunpowder rapidly vaporizes the dry ice, building up an immense pressure. Assume that 391 g of dry ice is placed in a cavity with a volume of 0.770 L and the ignited gunpowder heats the CO2 to 695 ∘C. What is the final pressure inside the hole?

Answer:

Final pressure = 0.77atm

Explanation:

The concept used to approach this question is the Ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

where P = pressure

V = Volume

n = number of mole or amount of substance

R = ideal gas constant

T = Temperature in Kelvin

  • from the parameters given ; mass = 391g
  • volume = 0.770 L
  • Temperature = 695 ∘C = 695 + 273 = 968K
  • R = 0.0821
  • number of moles = mass/molar mass
  • molar mass of CO2 = 12 + 2x16 = 44g/mol
  • number of moles = 391g/44g/mol = 8.886mol

plugging into the equation to get the final pressure,

  • from PV = nRT
  • P = nRT/V = 8.886 x 0.0821 x 968 / 0.770
  • Final pressure = 0.77atm

A backpacker collects snow at 0°C, and places it in a cooking pot on a camp stove. It takes 643 kJ of heat energy to melt the sn
frutty [35]

Answer:

mass (m) of the snow that the backpacker collected= 0.855 kg

Explanation:

Given that:

Q = 643 kJ = 643000 J

ΔHfusion = 6.02 kJ/mol = 6020 J/mol

number of mole of water H2O = \frac{mass (m)}{18}

c = 4.18 J/g⋅K

ΔT = 100 K

Since there is a phase change from solid to liquid; then :

Q = Q_s + Q_l

ΔH = \frac{q}{mol}

However without the given mass; we substitute \frac{m}{18} for the number of moles; so:

Q = \delta H * \frac{m}{18} + m*c * \delta T

643000 =6020 * \frac{m}{18}+ m * 4.18 * 100

m = 855 g

m = 0.855 kg

mass (m) of the snow that the backpacker collected= 0.855 kg

An atom emits a photon with energy 7.13 electronvolts (eV). What is the wavelength of the photon?
sergey [27]

Answer:

Option (b) "174 nm"

Explanation:

Energy of emitted photon is 7.13 eV.

We need to find the wavelength of the photon.

1 eV = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Energy of a photon is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

Where, \lambda is wavelength of the photon

Putting all the values,

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{7.13\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\\\lambda=1.74\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\text{or}\\\\\lambda=174\ nm

So, the wavelength of the photon is 174 nm.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

A mixture

Explanation:

The substance whose magnetic properties is tested is mixture of many compounds, elements or molecules.

A mixture has the following properties:

  • Their composition is indefinite
  • Their constituents retain their identity
  • Constituents react differently to changed conditions
  • Their constituent can easily be separated by physical procedures.

Since a part of the mixture responds differently to magnetism, we can say, the other part is made up of a different set of compound.
