A box of volume V has a movable partition separating it into two compartments. The left compartment contains 3000 particles, the

right one contains 1000 particles, and initially the partition is in the middle so that the compartments are of equal volume. The partition is released and slides horizontally until the system is in a new equilibrium state.
(a) In terms of V, what is the volume of each compartment once the new equilibrium state is reached?
(b) What is the change in the system’s entropy during this process?

Answer:

a) V1 = 4V - V2/3 and V2 = 4V - 3V1

b) Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

Explanation:

Let V represent volume of the box containing the two compartments

V1 represents compartment of the left compartment

V2 represents compartment of the right compartment

Momentum of the compartments before impact:

3000V1 + 1000V2

Momentum of the compartments after impact:

V(3000 + 1000) = 4000V

a) To obtain the volume of each compartment, that is, V1 and V2, we say:

Momentum before impact = Momentum after impact

3000V1 + 1000V2 = 4000V

∴ V1 = 4000V - 1000V2/3000 = 4V - V2/3

Also, V2 = 4000V - 3000V1/1000 = 4V - 3V1

b) Change in entropy,Δe = 4000V1 - 1000V2

By substituting the V1 and V2, we have:

4000(4V - V2)/3 - 1000(4V - 3V1)

16000V - 4000V2/3 - 4000V + 3000V1

16000V - 4000V2 - 12000V + 9000V1

∴ Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

Suppose 310. grams of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is in an aluminum cup of 90.0 grams. Both of these are at 30.0C. A mass m of ice a

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of ethanol $m_e=310\ gm$

mass of aluminium cup $m_{al}=90\ gm$

both are at an initial temperature of $T_i=30^{\circ}C$

specific heat of ethanol $c_e=2.46\ J/g-K$

specific heat of aluminium $c_{al}=0.9\ J/g-K$

specific heat of ice $c_i=2.108\ J/g-K$

specific heat of water $c_w=4.184\ J/g-K$

Latent heat of fusion $L=334\ J/gm$

suppose m is the mass of ice added

Heat loss by Al cup and ethanol after $18^{\circ}C$ is reached

$Q_1=(310\times 2.46+90\times 0.9)\cdot (30-18)$

Heat gained by ice such that ice is melted and reached a temperature of $18^{\circ}C$

$Q_2=m\times 2.108\times (8.5)+m\times 334$

Comparing 1 and 2 we get

$m=23.65\ gm$

Thus 23.65 gm of ice is added

Lily was concerned about global warming and its effects on Earth. A changing climate is associated with multiple kinds of change

A cascade effect is an inevitable and sometimes unforeseen chain of events due to an act affecting a system. If there is a possibility that the cascade effect will have a negative impact on the system, it is possible to analyze the effects with a consequence / impact analysis. An example of the cascade effect caused by the loss of a top predator is apparent in tropical forests. When hunters cause local extinctions of top predators, the predators' prey's population numbers increase, causing an overexploitation of a food resource and a cascade effect of species loss. Another example is a lake system with four trophic levels, the model predicts with the removal of the top carnivore, the primary carnivore numbers will increase, in turn, reducing the number of herbivores, increasing the phytoplankton abundance, and decreasing the levels of mineral nutrients. The effects show a positive/ negative change in trophic level structure as it moves down.

A 1200 Kg car rounds a corner of radius r = 45m. If the coefficient of static friction between the ties and the road is us = 0.8

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The greatest speed of the car is 19.36m/s

Explanation:

The maximum speed the car will attain without skidding is given by:

F= uN = umg ...eq1

But F = mv^2/r

mv^2/r = umg

Dividing both sides by m, leaves you with:

V= Sqrt(ugr)

Where u = coefficient of static friction

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = raduis

Given:

U = 0.82

r=0.82

g= 9.8m/s

V = Sqrt(0.82 × 9.8 × 45)

V = Sqrt(374.85)

V = 19.36m/s

An unknown element is found to have two naturally occurring isotopes, 200X and 210X with atomic masses of 200.028 and 210.039 re

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The average atomic mass of X is 206.0346

Explanation:

Atomic mass of 200X = 200.028

% abundance of 200X = 40% = 40/100 = 0.4

Atomic mass of 210X = 210.039

% abundance of 210X = 100% - 40% = 60% = 60/100 = 0.6

Average atomic mass of X = (0.4×200.028) + (0.6×210.039) = 80.0112 + 126.0234 = 206.0346
