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.

Leona [35]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hello, </em>

<h3><u>QUESTION)</u></h3>

<em>✔ We have: KE = PE (potential energy) </em>

<em>PE = m x g x h </em>

The potential energy that the pebble of mass 1 has is called PE1 and the potential energy that the pebble of mass 2 has is called PE2  

PE1 = PE2 ⇔ PE1/PE2 = 1

\frac{m_1\times g\times h}{m_2\times g\times 4h} = 1 \\ \\  \frac{m_1}{m_2\times 4} = 1 \\ \\  \frac{m_1}{m_2} = 4

The mass m1 is therefore 4 times greater than that of the stone of mass m2.

The rectangular plates in a parallel-plate capacitor are 0.063 m x 5.4 m. A distance of 3.5 x 10^-5m separate the plates. The pl
Aleks04 [339]

The capacitance of the capacitor is 1.8\cdot 10^{-9}F

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by the equation

C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

k is the dielectric constant of the medium

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have:

k = 2.1 is the dielectric constant

d=3.5\cdot 10^{-5}m is the separation between the plates

A=0.063m \cdot 0.054m = 0.0034 m^2 (I assumed that 5.4 m is a typo, since it is not a realistic size for the side of the plate)

Therefore, the capacitance of the  capacitor is

C=\frac{(2.1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.0034)}{3.5\cdot 10^{-5}}=1.8\cdot 10^{-9}F

A policeman in a stationary car measures the speed of approaching cars by means of an ultrasonic device that emits a sound with
beks73 [17]

Answer:

4.6 kHz

Explanation:

The formula for the Doppler effect allows us to find the frequency of the reflected wave:

f'=(\frac{v}{v-v_s})f

where

f is the original frequency of the sound

v is the speed of sound

vs is the speed of the wave source

In this problem, we have

f = 41.2 kHz

v = 330 m/s

vs = 33.0 m/s

Therefore, if we substitute in the equation we find the frequency of the reflected wave:

f'=(\frac{330 m/s}{330 m/s-33.0 m/s})(41.2 kHz)=45.8 kHz

And the frequency of the beats is equal to the difference between the frequency of the reflected wave and the original frequency:

f_B = |f'-f|=|45.8 kHz-41.2 kHz|=4.6 kHz

Question 3 of 10
Anna35 [415]

Answer: The answer is B

Explanation:

There are 4 fundamental forces that hold matter together.

- Gravitational Force

- Electromagnetic Force

- Strong Nuclear Force

- Weak Nuclear Force

We have barely just scratched the info about nuclear forces but the reason why B is the answer to the question is that Strong nuclear force actually holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom, much like the picture in B.
