Liquid sodium can be used as a heat transfer fluid in some nuclear reactors due to its high thermal conductivity and low neutron

absorptivity. Its vapor pressure is 40.0 torr at 633 degree C and an enthalpy of vaporization of 1.00x10^2 kJ/mol. To what temperature can it be heated if a maximum of 500 torr pressure is allowed in the system?

Answer:

1119.1 K

Explanation:

From Clausius-Clapeyron equation:

\frac{dP}{dT}=Δ\frac{h_{v} }{R} (\frac{1}{T^{2} } )dT

The equation may be integrated considering the enthalpy of vaporization constant, and its result is:

ln(\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} } )=-Δ\frac{h_{v} }{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{2} }-\frac{1}{T_{1} })

Isolating the temperature T_{2}

T_{2}=\frac{1}{\frac{-R}{dhv}*ln(\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1}}) +\frac{1}{T_{1}} }

T_{2}=\frac{1}{\frac{-8.314}{1.00*10^5}*ln(\frac{500}{40}) +\frac{1}{906.15}}

T_{2}=1119.1K

Note: Remember to change the units of the enthalpy vaporization to J/mol; and the temperatures must be in Kelvin units.

There is a format mistake with the enthalpy of vaporization, each 'Δ' correspond to that.

Gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s squared, and gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s squared. So if the mass of an object on earth is 40 kilo
garik1379 [7]

The mass of an object on Earth is the same as its mass on the Moon. The weight is different.

Weight = m * g

Weight ( Moon ) = 40 kg * 1.6 m/s² = 64 N

If the mass of an object on Earth is 40 kg, its mass on the Moon is 40 kg and its weight on the Moon is 64 N.

GrogVix [38]

Answer: In a battery, voltage determines how strongly electrons are pushed through a circuit, much like pressure determines how strongly water is pushed through a hose. Most AAA, AA, C, and D batteries are around 1.5 volts. Imagine the batteries shown in the diagram are rated at 1.5 volts and 500 milliamp-hours.

Explanation: Today "AA" is frequently used as a size designation, irrespective of the battery's electrochemical system. The main numbers used for the most common NiMH and NiCad battery
