Answer:

a) the wet density of the CL sample is 0.0453 lb/in³

b) the water content in the sample is 65.37%

c) the dry density of the CL sample is 0.0274 lb/in³

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter d = 2.83 in

length L = 6 in

weight m = 1.71 lbs

A piece of clay sample had wet-weight of 140.9 grams  and dry-weight of 85.2 grams

a) wet density of the CL sample

wet density can be expressed as  p = M /v

V is volume of sample which is; π/4×d²×L

so p = M / π/4×d²×L

we substitute

p = 1.71 / (π/4 × (2.83)²× 6

p = 1.71 / 37.741

p = 0.0453 lbs/in³

so the wet density of the CL sample is 0.0453 lb/in³

b)

water content of sample is taken as;

w =  (wet_weight - dry_weight) / dry_weight

we substitute

w = (140.9 - 85.2) / 85.2

w = 55.7 / 85.2

w = 0.6537 = 65.37%

therefore the water content in the sample is 65.37%

c)

dry density of the CL sample

to determine the dry density, we say;

Sd = p / ( 1 + w )

we substitute

Sd = 0.0453 / ( 1 + 0.6537)

Sd = 0.0453 /  1.6537

Sd = 0.0274 lb/in³

therefore the dry density of the CL sample is 0.0274 lb/in³

An excess of Ba(No3)2 reacts with 250ml of H2SO4 solution to give 0.55g of BaSo4.determine The concentration in moles per litre
Wewaii [24]
Chemical reaction: Ba(NO₃)₂ + H₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2HNO₃.
V(H₂SO₄) = 250 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0,25 L.
m(BaSO₄) = 0,55 g.
n(BaSO₄) = m(BaSO₄) ÷ M(BaSO₄).
n(BaSO₄) = 0,55 g ÷ 233,38 g/mol.
n(BaSO₄) = 0,00235 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(BaSO₄) : n(Ba(NO₃)₂) = 1 : 1.
n(Ba(NO₃)₂) = 0,00235 mol.
c(Ba(NO₃)₂) = n(Ba(NO₃)₂) ÷ V.
c(Ba(NO₃)₂) = 0,00235 mol ÷ 0,25 L.
c(Ba(NO₃)₂) = 0,0095 mol/L.

A system gains 687 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to 156 kJ. How much work is done?
Maslowich

Answer:

w = -531 kJ

1. Work was done by the system.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Heat gained by the system (q): 687 kJ (By convention, when the system absorbs heat, q > 0).
  • Change in the internal energy of the system (ΔU°): 156 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the work done (w)

We will use the following expression.

ΔU° = q + w

w = ΔU° - q

w = 156 kJ - 687 kJ

w = -531 kJ

By convention, when w < 0, work is done by the system on the surroundings.
