A sample of helium has a volume of 12.7 m3. The temperature is raised to 323 K at which time the gas occupies 32.5 m3? Assume pr
jasenka [17]

Answer: The original temperature was

T_{1}=126.51K

Explanation:

Let's put the information in mathematical form:

V_{1}=12.7m^{3}

T_{1}=?

V_{2}=32.5m^{3}

T_{2}=323K

P_{1}=P_{2}=3atm

If we consider the helium as an ideal gas, we can use the Ideal Gas Law:

PV=nRT

were <em>R</em> is the gas constant. And <em>n</em> is the number of moles (which we don't know yet)

From this, taking R=0.08205746\frac{atm.l}{mol.K},  we have:

n=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{RT_{2}}

⇒n=3.67mol

Now:

T_{1}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{nR}

⇒T_{1}=126.51K

Estimate how much solar energy reaches the earth per year (in Joule).
Alexxandr [17]

Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth.

In a year it is very hard to determine because of the night and different light levels.

A hockey puck is traveling to the left with a velocity of v=10 when it is struck by the hockey stick
Lera25 [3.4K]
We have to calculate the impulse of a hockey puck.
Imp = m * ( v 1 - v 2 ) = m * Δ v
v 1 = - 10 i m/s,
v 2 = ( 20 * cos 40° ) i + ( 20 * sin 40° ) j =
= ( 20 * 0.766 ) i + ( 20 * 0.64278 ) j = ( 15.32 i + 12.855 j ) m/s
Δ v = ( 15.32 i + 12.855 j ) - ( - 10 i ) =
= 15.32 i + 12.855 j + 10 i = 25.32 i + 12.855 j
| Δv | = √ ( 25.32² + 12.855²) = √806.35 = 28.4 m/s
Imp = 0.2 kg * 28.4 m/s = 5.68 N-s
Answer: D ) 5.68 N-s.

The volume of an ideal gas is adiabatically reduced from 151 L to 80.6 L. The initial pressure and temperature are 1.50 atm and
Zolol [24]

Answer:

gas is dioatomic

T_f = 330.0 K

\eta = 7.07 mole

Explanation:

Part 1

below equation is used to determine the type Gas by determining \gamma value

\frac{V_{1}}{V_{F}}\gamma=\frac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}

where V_i and V_f is initial and final volume respectively

and P_i and P_f are initial and final pressure

\gamma = \frac{ln(P_f/P_i)}{ln(V_i/V_f)}

\gamma = \frac{ln(3.61/1.50)}{ln(151/80.6}

\gamma = 1.38

therefore gas is dioatomic

Part 2

final temperature in adiabatic process is given as

T_f = T_i*[\frac{v_i}{V_f}](^\gamma-1)

substituing value to get final temperature

T_f = 260*[\frac{151}{80.6}]^ {(1.38-1)}

T_f = 330.0 K

Part 3

determine number of moles by using following formula

\eta =\frac{PV}{RT}

\eta =\frac{1.013*10^{5}*0.151}{8.314*260}

\eta = 7.07 mole
