Answer : The correct option is, (c) 79.62

Explanation :

The formula used for percent humidity is:

\text{Percent humidity}=\text{Relative humidity}\times \frac{p-p^o_v}{p-p_v}\times 100   ..........(1)

The formula used for relative humidity is:

\text{Relative humidity}=\frac{p_v}{p^o_v}       ...........(2)

where,

p_v = partial pressure of water vapor

p^o_v = vapor pressure of water

p = total pressure

First we have to calculate the partial pressure of water vapor by using equation 2.

Given:

p=750mmHg

p^o_v=17.5mmHg

Relative humidity = 80 % = 0.80

Now put all the given values in equation 2, we get:

0.80=\frac{p_v}{17.5mmHg}

p_v=14mmHg

Now we have to calculate the percent humidity by using equation 1.

\text{Percent humidity}=0.80\times \frac{750-17.5}{750-14}\times 100

\text{Percent humidity}=79.62\%

Therefore, the percent humidity is 79.62 %

Ethanol (C2H5OH) melts a - 144 oC and boils at 78 °C. The enthalpy of fusion of ethanol is 5.02 kj/mol, and its enthalpy of vapo
hammer [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The total heat required is 36621.5 J

<u>For b:</u> The total heat required is 58944.5 J

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For a:</u>

To calculate the heat required at different temperature, we use the equation:

q=mc\Delta T         .........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

\Delta T = change in temperature

To calculate the amount of heat required at same temperature, we use the equation:

q=m\times \Delta H      ........(2)

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

\Delta H = enthalpy of the reaction

The processes involved in the given problem are:

1.)C_2H_5OH(l)(35^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\\2.)C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(g)(78^oC)

  • <u>For process 1:</u>

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

m=42.0g\\c_l=2.3J/g.K\\T_2=78^oC\\T_1=35^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[78-35]^oC=43^oC=43K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q_1=42.0g\times 2.3J/g.K\times 43K\\\\q_1=4153.8J

  • <u>For process 2:</u>

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{vap}=38.56kJ/mol=\frac{35.56kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=773.04J/g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

q_2=42.0g\times 773.04J/g\\\\q_2=32467.7J

Total heat required = [q_1+q_2]

Total heat required = [4153.8J+32467.7J]=36621.5J

Hence, the total heat required is 36621.5 J

  • <u>For b:</u>

The processes involved in the given problem are:  

1.)C_2H_5OH(s)(-155^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(s)(-144^oC)\\2.)C_2H_5OH(s)(-144^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(-144^oC)\\3.)C_2H_5OH(l)(-144^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\\4.)C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(g)(78^oC)

  • <u>For process 1:</u>

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

m=42.0g\\c_s=0.97J/g.K\\T_2=-144^oC\\T_1=-155^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[-144-(-155)]^oC=11^oC=11K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q_1=42.0g\times 0.97J/g.K\times 11K\\\\q_1=448.14J

  • <u>For process 2:</u>

We are given:

m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{fusion}=5.02kJ/mol=\frac{5.02kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=109.13J/g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

q_2=42.0g\times 109.13J/g\\\\q_2=4583.5J

  • <u>For process 3:</u>

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

m=42.0g\\c_l=2.3J/g.K\\T_2=78^oC\\T_1=-144^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[78-(-144)]^oC=222^oC=222K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q_3=42.0g\times 2.3J/g.K\times 222K\\\\q_3=21445.2J

  • <u>For process 4:</u>

We are given:

m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{vap}=38.56kJ/mol=\frac{38.56kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=773.04J/g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

q_4=42.0g\times 773.04J/g\\\\q_4=32467.7J

Total heat required = [q_1+q_2+q_3+q_4]

Total heat required = [448.14+4583.5+21445.2+32467.7]J=58944.5J

Hence, the total heat required is 58944.5 J

If a sample of air in a school container was heated, would the percentage of oxygen in the air increase, decrease, or remain unc
Viktor [21]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Let's suppose we have a sample of air in a closed container. We heat the container and we want to predict what would happen to the pressure.

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

Thus, if we increased the temperature of the air by heating it, its pressure would increase.

If a sample of air in a closed container was heated, the total pressure of the air would increase.
