Answer:

Explanation:

A solar collector is a device that absords Sun's heat energy to heat air or water. It is majorly used for heating purpose, and do not generate electricity directly.

The flow tubes and collector plate are black in color so as to increase the intensity of heat generated by the collector. A black body is a good absorber of heat, it absorbs most heat directed to the collector. Also, a black body is a good radiator of heat, the heat absorbed is rediated to the appropriate channels for the heating of water or air molecules. The black color increases the efficeincy and percentage of solar energy absorbed by the collector.

If a reflective color is used (e.g white), major percentage of the incident heat would be reflected. This would decrease the efficiency of the solar collector.

The equilibrium constant for the formation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen is 1.6 × 102. what is the form of the equilibri
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: The expression for equilibrium constant is \frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}

Explanation: Equilibrium constant is the expression which relates the concentration of products and reactants preset at equilibrium at constant temperature. It is represented as k_c

For a general reaction:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD

The equilibrium constant is written as:

k_c=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

Chemical reaction for the formation of ammonia is:

N_2+3H_3\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3

k_c=1.6\times 10^2

Expression for k_c is:

k_c=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}

1.6\times 10^2=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}

What is the initial temperature of a gas if the volume changed from 1.00 l to 1.10 l and the final temperature was determined to
Feliz [49]
Using charles law
v1/t1=v2/t2
v1=1l
v2=1.1l
t2=255+273=528
t1=?
1/t1=1.1/528   
cross multiply
1.1t1=528 divide both sides by 1.1
t1=528/1.1
t1=480k or 207celcius

FIND THE RATIO BY MASS OF THE COMBINING ELEMENTS IN THE FOLLOWING COMPOUNDS
boyakko [2]
The given compound is Aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3:

Molar masses:

Aluminum = 27 g/mol
Sulfur = 32 g/mol
Oxygen = 16 g/mol

The total molar mass is 342 g/mol
The ratio by mass of the elements:

Aluminum = 27*2/342 
                  = 0.16
Sulfur = (32*3)/342
           = 0.28
Oxygen = (16*12)/342
              = 0.56
