Copper and aluminium wire are used to carry electric current. Copper, aluminium and iron are used to make domestic utensils and factory equipment. Thin foils of aluminium are used for wrapping cigarettes, medicines, confectionery, etc. Aluminium is used for making angles, doors, pipes, etc. which are used in the construction of houses. Metals such as sodium, titanium, zirconium, etc. are used in generation of nuclear energy and in space science projects. Mercury is used in thermometers. Magnesium metal is used as a strong reducing agent to prepare other metals. Gold and silver metals are used to make jewellery. Thin foils of silver and gold are used to decorate sweets. Uranium metal is used to generate nuclear energy. Titanium metal is very hard, resistant to corrosion, light, has high melting point and is good conductor of heat and electricity. Because of its unique and useful properties titanium is sometimes called ‘the wonder metal’.

What is the pressure in atmospheres exerted by a 0.500 mole sample of nitrogen gas in a 10.0 L
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The pressure is 1, 22 atm.

Explanation:

We use deal gas formula. First, we convert the unit of temperature in Celsius into Kelvin. We use the constant R= 0,082 l atm /K mol.Then, we solve P (pressure).

0°C=273 K   25°C= 273 + 25= 298 K

PV=nRT   -----> P= (nRT)/V

P= (0,5 mol x 0,082 l atm /K mol x 298 K)/ 10 L

<em>P= 1, 2218 atm</em>

A city in Laguna generates 0.96 kg per capita per day of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Makati City in Metro Manila generates 1.9
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

i) amount of MSW generated:

Laguna: 19200 Kg/day

Makati: 38000 Kg/day

ii) number of trucks to collect twice weekly:

Laguna: 3 trucks

Makati: 5 trucks

iii) volume of MSW in tons that enter landfill/week:

Laguna: 147.84 ton/week

Makati: 292 ton/week

Explanation:

i) Laguna: 0.96 Kg person / day of MSW * 20000 = 19200 Kg MSW / day

⇒ Laguna: 19200 Kg/day * ( 7day/ week ) = 134400 Kg/week

Makati: 1.9 Kg person / day of MSW * 20000 = 38000 Kg MSW / day

⇒ Makati: 38000 Kg/day * ( 7day/week ) = 266000 Kg/week

ii)  truck capacity = 4.4 ton * ( Kg / 0.0011 ton ) = 4000 Kg

⇒ quote/day = 4000 Kg * 0.75 = 3000 Kg

⇒ loads/day = 2 * 3000 kg = 6000 Kg

⇒ operate/week = 5 * 6000 Kg = 30000 Kg

∴ Laguna:  number of trucks needed/week= 134400 / 30000  = 4.48 ≅ 5 trucks

⇒ number of trucks to collect twice weekly = 5 / 2 = 2.5 ≅ 3 trucks

∴ Makati : number of trucks needed/week = 266000 / 30000 = 8.86 ≅ 9 trucks

⇒ number of trucks to collect twice weekly = 9 / 2 = 4.5 ≅ 5 trucks  

iii) enter landfill/week:

Laguna: 134400Kg MSW/week * ( 0.0011 ton/Kg ) = 147.84 ton/week

Makati: 266000Kg MSW/week * ( 0.0011 ton/Kg ) = 292 ton/week

Consider the generic reaction: 2 A(g) + B(g) → 2 C(g). If a flask initially contains 1.0 atm of A and 1.0 atm of B, what is the
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

b. 1.5 atm.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the undergoing chemical reaction suggests that two moles of A react with one moles of B to produce two moles of C, for the final pressure we can write:

P=P_A+P_B+P_C

Now, if we introduce the stoichiometry, and the change in the pressure x we can write:

P=1.0-2x+1.0-x+2x

Nevertheless, since the reaction goes to completion, all A is consumed and there is a leftover of B, and that consumed A is:

x=\frac{1.0atm}{2}=0.5atm

Thus, the final pressure is:

P=1.0-2(0.5)+1.0-(0.5)+2(0.5)\\\\P=1.5atm

Therefore the answer is b. 1.5 atm.

Best regards!
