In an electrically heated boiler, water is boiled at 140°C by a 90 cm long, 8 mm diameter horizontal heating element immersed in

water. The heating element is made of mechanically polished stainless steel. The boiler initially contains 0.25 m of water at 20°C. Once boiling starts, it is observed that 25% of the water in the boiler evaporated in 60 min. i. Determine the power rating of the electric heating element immersed in water and the surface temperature of the heating element. [8 marks] ii. Using the above heater, estimate the time required to raise the temperature of 0.25 m2 of cold water from 20°C to 140°C

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Volume of water = 0.25 m^{3}

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^{3}

Therefore,  mass of water = Density × Volume

                       = 1000 kg/m^{3} \times 0.25 m^{3}

                       = 250 kg  

Initial Temperature of water (T_{1}) = 20^{o}C

Final temperature of water = 140^{o}C

Heat of vaporization of water (dH_{v}) at 140^{o}C  is 2133 kJ/kg

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 kJ/kg/K

As 25% of water got evaporated at its boiling point (140^{o}C) in 60 min.

Therefore, amount of water evaporated = 0.25 × 250 (kg) = 62.5 kg

Heat required to evaporate = Amount of water evapotaed × Heat of vaporization

                           = 62.5 (kg) × 2133 (kJ/kg)

                           = 133.3 \times 10^{3} kJ

All this heat was supplied in 60 min = 60(min)  × 60(sec/min) = 3600 sec

Therefore, heat supplied per unit time = Heat required/time = \frac{133.3 \times 10^{3}kJ}{3600 s} = 37 kJ/s or kW

The power rating of electric heating element is 37 kW.

Hence, heat required to raise the temperature from 20^{o}C to 140^{o}C of 250 kg of water = Mass of water × specific heat capacity × (140 - 20)

                      = 250 (kg) × 40184 (kJ/kg/K) × (140 - 20) (K)

                     = 125520 kJ  

Time required = Heat required / Power rating

                       = \frac{125520}{37}

                       = 3392 sec

Time required to raise the temperature from 20^{o}C to 140^{o}C of 0.25 m^{3} water is calculated as follows.

                    \frac{3392 sec}{60 sec/min}

                     = 56 min

Thus, we can conclude that the time required to raise the temperature is 56 min.

A gas evolved during the fermentation of sugar was collected at 22.5°C and 702 mmHg. After purification its volume was found to
miskamm [114]

Answer:

A) 0.95 mol

Explanation:

We will assume the gas given off in the fermentation is an ideal gas because that allows us to use the ideal gas equation.

PV  = nRT

First let's convert all measurements to units that we can use

P = 702 mmHg * 1 atm/760 mmHg = 0.92368 atm

V = 25.0 L

R = 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K

T = 22.5 °C +273.15 = 295.65 K

PV  = nRT

0.92368 atm * 25.0 L = n * 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K * 295.65 K

                                  n = 0.9518 mol

How much heat in kj is released by burning 9.5 grams of methane?
tatyana61 [14]
Methane is the compound CH4, and burning it uses the reaction:

CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O, which is rather exothermic. To find the heat released by burning a certain amount of the substance, you should look at the bond enthalpy of each compound, and then compare the values before and after the reaction. In methane, there are 4 C-H bonds, which have bond energy of 416 kj/mol, resulting in a total bond energy of 1664 kj/mol. O2 is 494 kj/mol. Therefore we have a total of 2080 kj/mol on the left side. On the right side we have CO2, which has 2 C=O bonds, each at 799 kj/mol each, resulting in 1598 kj/mol, and H2O has 2 O-H bonds, at 459kj/mol each, resulting in a total of 2516 kj/mol on the right hand side. Now, this may be confusing because the left hand side seems to have less heat than the right, but you just need to remember: making minus breaking, which results in a total change of 436kj/mol heat evolved.

Now it is a simple matter of find the mols of CH4 reacted, using n=m/mr.

n = 9.5/16.042 = 0.592195 mol

Therefore, if we reacted 0.592195 mol, and we produced 436 kj for one mol, the total amount of energy evolved was 436*<span>0.592195 kj, or 258.197 kj.</span>

PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY! MARKING BRANLIEST!
seropon [69]

Answer: oil spill, forest fire

Explanation:

The short term environmental change is a change that occur in an environment which exerts it's effect over the environment and the living beings for a short duration. The damage caused by the short term environmental change can be recovered in a short time. The oil spill and forests fire are the example of short term environmental changes.

The oil spill will reduce the abundance of the aquatic species until the oil is circulated out at the bay of the water body therefore, it is a short term environmental change.

Forests fire will remain ignited for a short period but can be destructive enough to cause damage to flora and fauna species. As time passes the reduced populations of flora and fauna can be recovered again.

I think that work is being done on the books because they are being moved to their proper location and they will be sorted properly rather than lying on a table. Without lifting or carrying, you could sort the books by their genre or title name on the bookshelf so it will be sorted much more efficiently.

I’m not sure if this is the answer you are looking for but I hope it helps :)
