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.

How many moles of water molecules are in 6.81 g of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (Epsom salts
loris [4]
Answer: 0.34 mol

Justification:

1) Hepta means 7, so heptahyrate means 7 parts of water. On mole of magnesium sulfate heptadydrate has seven moles of water.

2)  The formula of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is:

Mg SO4 . 7 H2O

3) Calcualte the number of moles of the compound by dividing the mass in grams by the molar mass of formula.

molar mass:

Mg: 24.3 g/mol
S: 32.1 g/mol
O4: 4 * 16.0 g/mol = 64.0 g/mol
H2: 2 * 1.0 g/mol = 2.0 g/mol
O: 16 g/mol

Molar mass = 24.3 g/mol + 32.1 g/mol + 64.0 g/mol + 2.0 g/mol + 16.0 g/mol = 138.4 g/mol

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass = 6.81 g / 138.4 g/mol = 0.049 mol

4) As stated, there are 7 moles of H2O per each mol of heptahydrate compoind, so the number of moles of water is 7 * 0.049 mol = 0.343 mol

Answer: 0.34 mol

During evaporation, the volume of the liquid decreases and the liquid becomes what??? ​
oee [108]

Answer:

Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor. ... Once water evaporates, it also helps form clouds

Many grams of aluminum are required to produce 3.5 moles Al2O3 in the presence of excess O2?
Aleks [24]
The  grams  of aluminum  that are required   to produce  3.5  moles of AlO3  in  presence of excess O2   is calculated as  below

write  the  equation for reaction
4 Al + 3O2 =2 Al2O3

by use of mole  ratio between  Al  to  Al2O3   which  is  4 :2  the moles of  Al 
=3.5 x4/2 = 7  moles

mass of Al  =  moles /   x molar mass

= 7 moles  x27 g/mol  =189  grams
