Answer:

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will turn this question into an equation.

The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w = perimeter.

In the question we were given the perimeter so we can go ahead and plug this in.

2l + 2w = 60

In the question we are also told that the fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. This means that 1l = 3w. We can now subsitute l for 3w so that we only have one variable.

2(3w) + 2w = 60

Now we can simply use algebra to solve for w.

6w + 2w = 60

8w = 60

w = 7.5

Now that we know the value of w we can find the value of l since we know 1l = 3w.

l = 3w

l = 3(7.5)

l = 22.5

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

Answer:

$\Delta G^o=-5.4032 kJ$

The temperature for $\Delta G^o=0[/tex is [tex]T=328.6 K$

Explanation:

The three thermodinamic properties (enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs's energy) are linked in the following formula:

$\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o + T*\Delta S^o$

Where:

$\Delta G^o$ is Gibbs's energy in kJ

$\Delta H^o$ is the enthalpy in kJ

$\Delta S^o$ is the entropy in kJ/K

$T$ is the temperature in K

Solving:

$\Delta G^o=-58.03 kJ - 298K*-0.1766 kJ/K$

$\Delta G^o=-5.4032 kJ$

For $\Delta G^o=0$ :

$0=\Delta H^o - T*\Delta S^o$

$\Delta H^o= T*\Delta S^o$

$T=\frac{\Delta H^o}{\Delta S^o}$

$T=\frac{-58.03 kJ}{-0.1766 kJ/K}$

$T=328.6 K$

3. If you start with 8x1025 molecules of Cl, and 25 grams of KI, how many grams of KCl would

miskamm [114]

Answer:

Percent yield = 89.1%

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

Cl₂ + 2KI → 2KCl + I₂

<em>1 mole of Cl₂ reacts with 2 moles of KI to produce to moles of KCl</em>

<em />

To solve this quesiton we must find the moles of each reactant in order to find the limiting reactant. With the limiting reactant we can find the moles of KCl and the mass:

<em>Moles Cl₂:</em>

8x10²⁵ molecules * (1mol / 6.022x10²³ molecules) = 133 moles

<em>Moles KI -Molar mass: 166.0028g/mol-</em>

25g * (1mol / 166.0028g) = 0.15 moles

Here, clarely, the KI is the limiting reactant

As 2 moles of KI produce 2 moles of KCl, the moles of KCl produced are 0.15 moles. The theoretical mass is:

0.15 moles * (74.5513g / mol) =

11.2g KCl

Percent yield is: Actual yield (10.0g) / Theoretical yield (11.2g) * 100

<h3>Percent yield = 89.1%</h3>

GrogVix [38]

a. t=0.553 s

b. vox(horizontal speed) = 3.62 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

h = 1.5 m

x = 2 m

Required

a. time

b. vo=initial speed

Solution

Free fall motion

a. h = 1/2 gt²(vertical motion=h=voyt+1/2gt²⇒voy = 0)

$\tt t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g} }$

t = √2h/g

t = √2.1.5/9.8

t=0.553 s

b. x=vox.t(horizontal motion)

$\tt x=v_{ox}\times t$

vox=x/t

vox=2/0.553

vox=3.62 m/s
