The surface tension of water is 7.28 ✕ 10−2 J/m2 at 20°C. Predict whether the surface tension of octane would be higher or lower

than that of water at the same temperature. Explain your answer.

Explanation:

It is known that octane is a hydrocarbon and London dispersion forces are the main intermolecular forces which are present in it.

Whereas water molecules tend to form hydrogen bonding forces which are actually much stronger than dipole-dipole interactions. This means that more energy is necessary to separate water molecules from one another than to separate octane molecules from one another.

Hence, we can conclude that surface tension of octane is expected to be lower than that of water when the two are considered at the same temperature.

How many cubic feet are in a 55-gallon drum?
san4es73 [151]
1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

                       (55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)

                   =    (55 x 231 / 1728)  ft³

                   =         7.352 cubic feet       (rounded)

A carpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 3.0 cm thick on the outside and a layer of Styrofoam insulation 2
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

A. T=15.54 °C

B. Q/A= 0.119 W/m2

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the Fourier's law for thermal conduction:

Q= kA\frac{dT}{dx}

Here, the rate of flow per square meter must be the same through the complete wall. Therefore, we can use it to find the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam as follows:

\frac{Q}{A} =\frac{T_1-T_0}{d_w}k_w=\frac{T_2-T_1}{d_s}k_s\\T_1(\frac{k_w}{d_w}+\frac{k_s}{d_s})=T_2\frac{k_s}{d_s}+T_0\frac{k_w}{d_w}\\T_1=\frac{T_2\frac{k_s}{d_s}+T_0\frac{k_w}{d_w}}{\frac{k_w}{d_w}+\frac{k_s}{d_s}}\\T_1= 15.54 \°C

Then, to find the rate of heat flow per square meter, we have:

\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{T_1-T_0}{d_w}k_w=0.119 \frac{W}{m^2}\\\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{T_2-T_1}{d_s}k_s= 0.119 \frac{W}{m^2}

T_0: Temperature \ in \ the \ house\\T_1: Temperature \ at \ the \ plane \ between \ wood \ and \ styrofoam\\T_2: Temperature \ outside\\k_w: k \ for \ wood\\d_w: wood \ thickness\\k_s: k \ for \ styrofoam\\d_s: styrofoam \ thickness
