2. On a summer day, you take a road trip through Moses Lake, WA, in a sports car. You start out at a temperature of 21°C in the

morning, but the temperature in Moses Lake will reach a peak of 55°C. Each tire on your car holds 15.2 L of nitrogen gas at a starting pressure of 247 kPa. The tires will burst if the internal pressure exceeds 270 kPa. Answer the following questions and show your work. (no work = no credit) R = 8.31 o How many moles of nitrogen gas are in each tire? o What would the maximum tire pressure be at 50 degrees C? o Will the tires burst in Moses Lake? Explain. o If you must let nitrogen gas out of the tire before you go, to what pressure must you reduce the tires before you start your trip? (Assume no significant change in tire volume.)

Answer:

1- 1.54 mol.

2- 271.9 kPa.

3- Yes, the tires will burst.

4- 235.67 kPa.

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em><u>Q1- How many moles of nitrogen gas are in each tire?  </u></em>

  • To calculate the no. of moles of nitrogen gas in each tire, we can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the nitrogen gas (P = 247.0 kPa/101.325 = 2.44 atm),

V is the volume of the nitrogen gas (V = 15.2 L),

n is the no. of moles of the nitrogen gas (n = ??? mole),

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the nitrogen gas (T = 21 °C + 273 = 294 K).

∴ n = PV/RT = (2.44 atm)(15.2 L)/(0.082 L/atm/mol.K)(294.0 K) = 1.54 mol.

<u><em>Q2: What would the maximum tire pressure be at 50 degrees C?  </em></u>

  • Now, the temperature is raised to be 50°C (T = 50°C + 273 = 323 K).
  • The pressure can be calculated using the general gas law:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

∴ P = nRT/V = (1.54 atm)(0.082 L/atm/mol.K)(323.0 K)/(15.2 L) = 2.68 atm = 271.9 kPa.

<u><em>Q3: Will the tires burst in Moses Lake? Explain.</em></u>

  • <em>Yes, the tires will burst because the internal pressure be 271.9 kPa that exceeds 270 kPa, the pressure above which the tires will burst.</em>

<u><em>Q4: If you must let nitrogen gas out of the tire before you go, to what pressure must you reduce the tires before you start your trip? (Assume no significant change in tire volume.)  </em></u>

  • To get the pressure that we must begin with:
  • Firstly, we should calculate the no. of moles at:

T = 55°C + 273 = 328 K,

<em>Pressure = 270 kPa (the pressure above which the tires will burst). (P =270 kPa/101.325 = 2.66 atm).</em>

  • V = 15.2 L, as there is no significant change in tire volume.

∴ n = PV/RT = (2.66 atm)(15.2 L)/(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(328 K) = 1.5 mol.

  • 1.5562 moles of N₂ in the tires will give a pressure of 270 kPa at 55°C, <em>so this is the minimum moles of N₂ that will make the tires burst.</em>
  • Now, we can enter this number of moles into the original starting conditions to tell us what pressure the tires will be at if we start with this number of moles of N₂.

<em>P = ???  </em>

V = 15.6 L.

n = 1.5 mol

T = 21°C + 273 = 294.0 K  

R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K.

∴ P = nRT/V = (1.5 mol x 0.082 x 294.0 K) / (15.6 L) = 2.2325 atm = 235.67 kPa.

  • <em>So, the starting pressure needs to be 235.67 kPa or just under in order for the tires not to burst.</em>

What type of change occurs when water changes from a solid to a liquid? *
Arlecino [84]
Melting 

Melting is a change in property of matter from solid to liquid

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Thus, there are fundamentally three types of matter which is solid liquid and gas. But why do gases and liquids diffuse and not solids? It is because of the molecular structure of these components of matter. If we examine the molecular structure of gas the molecules are highly scattered and liquid has also almost the same structure as mediocrely scattered that these particles can easily slip through other substances unlike solid which is entirely intact.  <span> </span>

Baking soda and antacid tablets are examples of two common__________
attashe74 [19]

Bases

A base is a substance that dissociates into more hydroxide ions (-OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases are also good proton acceptors. Bases, therefore, reduce the number of H+ and increase OH- hence raising the pH of the solution.

B(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ BH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Other properties of bases is that they are bitter to the taste and they feel slippery when touched. Strong bases are nonthlese very corrosive like acids. Bases turn red litmus paper blue. Most alkali hydroxides such as NaOH are bases.

Four people weigh a standard mass of 10.00g on the same balance. Which of the following sets of readings suggests measurements t
Svetach [21]
An example of accurate but not precise would be 3 people weigh a 10g sample. the weights are 0g, 10g, & 20 grams. the scale is way off but the weights average to the right thing.
precise but not accurate would weighing a 10g sample 3 times and getting 5.5, 5.4, & 5.5. they'e all incredibly similar therefore precise but its nowhere near 10, so not accurate. 
neither precise nor accurate would be 3 weights being 10, 20, &30. It averages wrong and is imprecise.

How long would it take for 1.50 mol of water at 100.0 ∘c to be converted completely into steam if heat were added at a constant
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
To determine the time it takes to completely vaporize the given amount of water, we first determine the total heat that is being absorbed from the process. To do this, we need information on the latent heat of vaporization of water. This heat is being absorbed by the process of phase change without any change in the temperature of the system. For water, it is equal to 40.8 kJ / mol.

Total heat = 40.8 kJ / mol ( 1.50 mol ) = 61.2 kJ of heat is to be absorbed

Given the constant rate of 19.0 J/s supply of energy to the system, we determine the time as follows:

Time = 61.2 kJ ( 1000 J / 1 kJ ) / 19.0 J/s = 3221.05 s
