Air is cooled in a process with constant pressure of 150 kPa. Before the process begins, air has a specific volume of 0.062 m^3/
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.

the specific volumes are:

initial = 0.062 m^3/kg

final = 0.027 m^3/kg.

Then, the specific work can be written as:

W = \int\limits^{vf}_{vi} {Pdv} \, = P(vf - vi) = 150kPa*(0.0027 - 0.062)m^3/kg = -5.25 kPa*m^3/kg.

The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.

Now, to write it in more common units we have that:

1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.

-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.

8. Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 0.333 h

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula</u>:  

A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{H}} (1)  

Where:  

A=0.375 g is the final amount of the material  

A_{o}=3 g is the initial amount of the material  

t=1 h is the time elapsed  

H is the half life of the material (the quantity we are asked to find)  

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find h from (1):

0.375 g=(3 g)2^{\frac{-1h}{H}} (2)  

\frac{0.375 g}{3 g}=2^{\frac{-1h}{H}} (3)  

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

ln(\frac{0.375 g}{3 g})=ln(2^{\frac{-1 h}{H}}) (4)  

-2.079=-\frac{1 h}{H}ln(2) (5)  

Clearing H:

H=\frac{-1h}{-2.079}(0.693) (6)  

Finally:

h=0.333 h This is the half-life of the Bismuth-218 isotope
