Answer:

This is because the pressure will build so up so much that the can will burst (and explode if there is a naked flame nearby) the gas pressure increases. more of the liquefied propellant turns into a gas.

This is Boyle's Law. It states pressure and volume have an inverse relationship.

Answer:

The gas inside the can and the can’s volume are both constant.

The gas pressure increases with increasing temperature.

The can will burst if the pressure becomes great enough.

The gas law that applies is Gay-Lussac’s law.

What are some chemical properties of Gallium?

Natali [406]

Answer:

Gallium is silvery white and soft enough to be cut with a knife. It takes on a bluish tinge because of superficial oxidation. Unusual for its low melting point (about 30 °C [86 °F]), gallium also expands upon solidification and supercools readily, remaining a liquid at temperatures as low as 0 °C (32 °F).

Determine Z and V for steam at 250°C and 1800 kPa by the following: (a) The truncated virial equation [Eq. (3.38)] with the foll

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the temperature $T_1$ = 250 °C= ( 250+ 273.15 ) K = 523.15 K

Pressure = 1800 kPa

The truncated viral equation is expressed as:

$\frac{PV}{RT} = 1 + \frac{B}{V} + \frac{C}{V^2}$

where; B = - $152.5 \ cm^3 /mol$ C = -5800 $cm^6/mol^2$

R = 8.314 × 10³ cm³ kPa. K⁻¹.mol⁻¹

Plugging all our values; we have

$\frac{1800*V}{8.314*10^3*523.15} = 1+ \frac{-152.5}{V} + \frac{-5800}{V^2}$

$4.138*10^{-4} \ V= 1+ \frac{-152.5}{V} + \frac{-5800}{V^2}$

Multiplying through with V² ; we have

$4.138*10^4 \ V ^3 = V^2 - 152.5 V - 5800 = 0$

$4.138*10^4 \ V ^3 - V^2 + 152.5 V + 5800 = 0$

V = 2250.06 cm³ mol⁻¹

Z = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

Z = $\frac{1800*2250.06}{8.314*10^3*523.15}$

Z = 0.931

b) The truncated virial equation [Eq. (3.36)], with a value of B from the generalized Pitzer correlation [Eqs. (3.58)–(3.62)].

The generalized Pitzer correlation is :

$T_c = 647.1 \ K \\ \\ P_c = 22055 \ kPa \\ \\ \omega = 0.345$

$T__{\gamma}} = \frac{T}{T_c}$

$T__{\gamma}} = \frac{523.15}{647.1}$

$T__{\gamma}} = 0.808$

$P__{\gamma}} = \frac{P}{P_c}$

$P__{\gamma}} = \frac{1800}{22055}$

$P__{\gamma}} = 0.0816$

$B_o = 0.083 - \frac{0.422}{T__{\gamma}}^{1.6}}$

$B_o = 0.083 - \frac{0.422}{0.808^{1.6}}$

$B_o = 0.51$

$B_1 = 0.139 - \frac{0.172}{T__{\gamma}}^{ \ 4.2}}$

$B_1 = -0.282$

The compressibility is calculated as:

$Z = 1+ (B_o + \omega B_1 ) \frac{P__{\gamma}}{T__{\gamma}}$

$Z = 1+ (-0.51 +(0.345* - 0.282) ) \frac{0.0816}{0.808}$

Z = 0.9386

$V= \frac{ZRT}{P}$

$V= \frac{0.9386*8.314*10^3*523.15}{1800}$

V = 2268.01 cm³ mol⁻¹

c) From the steam tables (App. E).

At $T_1 = 523.15 \ K \ and \ P = 1800 \ k Pa$

V = 0.1249 m³/ kg

M (molecular weight) = 18.015 gm/mol

V = 0.1249 × 10³ × 18.015

V = 2250.07 cm³/mol⁻¹

R = 729.77 J/kg.K

Z = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

Z = $\frac{1800*10^3 *0.1249}{729.77*523.15}$

Z = 0.588

What term best describes the type of reaction that happens when a single element reacts with a molecule or compound, producing a

gogolik [260]

The answer is

C. A single replacement reaction (acid reactions)

An example would be the reaction between simple metal Potassium (K) and Water (H2O), resulting in a much solid compound called Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas is set free.

K+H2O --> KOH

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A. is alloyed with carbon and chromium to make stainless steel.

Explanation:

Steel is an alloy formed mainly of iron and carbon but some other metals like chromium are also added in little amounts.

Is steel, the percentage of iron and carbon together is about 90% and the rest metals fall in the 10% part.

Although the cost of steel is low, it has a very high tensile strength and that's why it is used in tools, ships, buildings, trains and in various types of infrastructures.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

With respect to a fixed point, motion is defined as a change in position.

Explanation:

MOTION -: Motion is described as the fact in which any object or body changes its position over the time with respect to a fixed point .

Motion is defined as displacement, distance, velocity , acceleration, speed , and time in mathematical terms. By linking an observer to a frame of reference and measuring the shift in the position of the body with a change in time relative to that frame, the motion of a body is observed.
