Answer:

Oil has the smaller heat capacity. The effectiveness of the heat exchanger is 0.80.

Explanation:

Part 1:

In order to know which fluid has the smaller heat capacity we need to consider the heat equation below:

Q = CΔT, where Q is the heat exchanged, C is the heat capacity and ΔT is the variation in temperature.

As the heat exchange is the same for both fluids, the smaller the temperature variation, the smaller the heat capacity.

Water: ΔT = 120 °F  

Oil: ΔT = 80 °F  

Therefore, oil is the fluid with the smallest heat capacity.

Part 2:

The effectiveness of a counter-flow heat exchanger is given by the equation bellow:

E = \frac{Th1 - Th2}{Th1 - Tc1} \\

Th1: initial temperature of the hot fluid

Th2: final temperature of the hot

Tc1: initial temperature of the cold fluid

E = \frac{220 - 100}{220 - 70} \\E = 0.8

A reaction is started with both reactants and products and proceeds in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium. Which of the
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

A) Yes. The reaction reaches equilibrium when the rate of reaction of the reverse reaction is equal to the rate of the forward reaction , then the only cause for the reverse reaction to be favoured is that the initial rate of the reverse was greater than the forward one.

B) No. The rate constant of the reverse reaction can be greater than the forward one  but the rate also depends on concentrations, thus a reverse reaction with greater rate constant can result in the net reaction proceeding in the forward reaction, the reverse reaction or be at equilibrium depending on the concentrations or reactants and products

C) No. A lower activation energy means a higher rate constant , but a higher rate constant does not mean that the net reaction will proceed to the reactants ( see point B)

D) No. The energy changes determine conditions under thermodynamic equilibrium and therefore the net direction of the reaction will depend on the temperature and concentrations of reactants and products with respect to the equilibrium conditions.

Why do you elements in the same group have similar properties
lozanna [386]

Answer:

They have similar properties, because they share similar amounts of electrons in their outer shell, valence electrons! This means they will only be able to interact with other elements with those electrons so they often show similar properties.

Consider the following system at equilibrium:
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

A - Increase (R), Decrease (P), Decrease(q), Triple both (Q) and (R)

B - Increase(P), Increase(q), Decrease (R)

C - Triple (P) and reduce (q) to one third

Explanation:

<em>According to Le Chatelier principle, when a system is in equilibrium and one of the constraints that affect the rate of reaction is applied, the equilibrium will shift so as to annul the effects of the constraint.</em>

P and Q are reactants, an increase in either or both without an equally measurable increase in R (a product) will shift the equilibrium to the right. Also, any decrease in R without a corresponding decrease in either or both of P and Q will shift the equilibrium to the right. Hence, Increase(P), Increase(q), and Decrease (R) will shift the equilibrium to the right.

In the same vein, any increase in R without a corresponding increase in P and Q will shift the equilibrium to the left. The same goes for any decrease in either or both of P and Q without a counter-decrease in R will shift the equilibrium to the left. Hence, Increase (R), Decrease (P), Decrease(q), and Triple both (Q) and (R) will shift the equilibrium to the left.

Any increase or decrease in P with a commensurable decrease or increase in Q (or vice versa) with R remaining constant will create no shift in the equilibrium. Hence, Triple (P) and reduce (q) to one third will create no shift in the equilibrium.
