sertanlavr [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer : The correct answer is A. Nuclear reactors using Pu-239

B. burning coal

The sources which are not renewable are known as "non- renewable sources of energy .

Non - renewable sources are those which get expired after rapid use and can never be reproduced . These sources replenishes in very long time . Examples : Coal , petrol or fuels etc .

1) Nuclear reactors using Pu-239 : Nuclear reactors uses radioactive elements like uranium , plutonium etc , which are present in limit . after frequent use of these elements , they will vanish off , Hence we can say nuclear reactors are Non renewable source of energy .

2) Burning coal : Coal is used as one of the major source of fuel . On rapid utilization of coal they will finished from earth . It takes thousand of year for formation of coal . Hence , it is a Non -renewable source .

3) Photo-voltaic cell: These are cells which used solar energy . Solar energy is obtained from sun . Hence solar energy is renewable source of energy so is the photo voltaic cell .

4) Geothermal energy : Geothermal energy is source of energy that is extracted from earth's thermal energy . Since thermal energy of earth is present in very large amount and can be reproduced , hence it renewable source of energy .

5)Wind energy : Wind energy is source of energy that is obtained from wind. And wind is renewable source so the wine energy too .

Consequently , we can say only two of them " Nuclear reactors and burning of coal " are Non renewable force of energy .

A solution is 40.00% by volume benzene (C6H6) in carbon tetrachloride at 20°C. The vapor pressure of pure benzene at this temper
finlep [7]

Answer:

The total vapor pressure is 84.29 mmHg

Explanation:

Step 1:  Data given

Solution = 40.00 (v/v) % benzene in CCl4

Temperature = 20.00 °C

The vapor pressure of pure benzene at 20.00 °C = 74.61 mmHg

Density of benzene is 0.87865 g/cm3

The vapor pressure of pure carbon tetrachloride is 91.32 mmHg

We suppose the total volume = 100 mL

Step 2: Calculate volume benzene and CCl4

40 % benzene = 40 mL

60 % mL CCl4 = 60 mL

Step 3: Calculate mass benzene

Mass = density * volume

Mass of benzene = 40.00 mL *  0.87865 g/mL = 35.146 g

Step 4: Calculate moles of benzene

Moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of benzene  = 35.146 grams / 78 g/mol  = 0.45059 mol

Step 5: Calculate mass of CCl4

Mass of CCl4 = 60 mL * 1.5940 g/mL = 95.64 g

Step 6: Calculate moles CCl4

Number of moles of CCl4 = 95.64 grams / 154g/mol = 0.62104 mol

Step 7: Calculate total number of moles

Total number of moles = moles benzene + moles CCl4

0.45059 moles + 0.62104 moles = 1.07163 mol

Step 8: Calculate mole fraction benzene and CCl4

Mole fraction = moles benzene / total moles

Mole fraction of benzene = 0.45059 / 1.07163 = 0.4205

Mole fraction of CCl4 = 0.62104 / 1.07163 = 0.5795

Step 9: Calculate partial pressure

Partial pressure of benzene = 0.4205 * 74.61 = 31.37 mmHg

Partial pressure of CCl4      = 0.5795 * 91.32 = 52.92 mmHg

Total vapor pressure = 31.37 + 52.92 = 84.29 mmHg

The total vapor pressure is 84.29 mmHg
