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.

Calculate the solubility of carbon dioxide in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.400 atm (a typical value at high altitude).A

Bond [772]

Answer:

The molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas is $4.662\times 10^{-6} M$ .

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{liquid}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $3.50\times 10^{-2}mol/L.atm$

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbonated drink

$p_{CO_2}=p\times \chi_{CO_2}$

where = p = Total pressure = 0.400 atm

$\chi_{CO_2}$ = mole fraction of $CO_2=3.33\times 10^{-4}$

$p_{CO_2}=0.400 atm\times 3.33\times 10^{-4} =0.0001332 atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{CO_2}=3.5\times 10^{-2}mol/L.atm\times 0.0001332 atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=4.662\times 10^{-6} M$

Hence, the molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas is $4.662\times 10^{-6} M$ .

As you have seen in this lab, the density of water is near 1 g/cm3. Anything with a density lower than this will float in water,

hammer [34]

The third answer is the one you want. You have to have an adjustable density. All other things being equal, if the tanks you use for holding just water when filled with water will let the sub sink, because the sub is made of a dense metal like iron or steel.

If on the other hand you fill these tanks with air, the net density will be below one and the sub will rise.
