Answer:

(a) Q_1=0.283m^3/s

(b) W=68.8kW

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) Based on the inlet conditions, we see that such carbon dioxide has an ideal behavior, so the inlet specific volume is:

v_1=\frac{RT}{PM}=\frac{8.314\frac{Pa*m^3}{mol*K}*300K}{100000Pa*44g/mol} =0.000567m^3/kg

Thus, the volumetric flow rate turns out:

Q_1=0.000567m^3/g*0.5kg/s*1000=0.283m^3/s

(b) Now, by writing and energy balance we have:

mh_1+W=mh_2

Thus, since the ideal gas enthalpy does not depend on the pressure, in Cengel's A-20 table, the corresponding enthalpies at 300K and 450 K are 9431kJ/kmol and 15483kJ/kmol whose values in kJ/kg are 214.34 kJ/kg and 351.89 kJ/kg respectively, thus:

W=0.5kg/s*(351.89-214.34)kJ/kg=68.8kW

Best regards.

Combined gas law problem: a balloon is filled with 500.0 mL of helium at a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and 755 mmHg. As th
Papessa [141]
The statement of the combined gas law for a fixed amount of gas is,
PV/T = constant
Here, the units of pressure and volume must be consistent and the temperature must be the absolute temperature (Kelvin or Rankine).
0.65 atm is equivalent to 494 mmHg
Using the equation:
(755 x 500) / (27 + 273) = (494 x V) / (-33 + 273)
V = 3396 ml = 3.4 liters

An unknown triprotic acid (H3A) is titrated with NaOH. After the titration Ka1 is determined to be 0.0013 and Ka2 is determined
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

6.68 X 10^-11

Explanation:

From the second Ka, you can calculate pKa = -log (Ka2) = 6.187

The pH at the second equivalence point (8.181) will be the average of pKa2  and pKa3. So,

8.181 = (6.187 + pKa3) / 2

Solving gives pKa3 = 10.175, and Ka3 = 10^-pKa3 = 6.68 X 10^-11
