16 grams of ice at –32°C is to be changed to steam at 182°C. The entire process requires _____ cal. Round your answer to the nea

rest whole number. The specific heat of both ice and steam is 0.5 cal/g°C. The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/gK. The heat of fusion is 80 cal/g and the heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g.

Answer:

12432 cal.

Explanation:

The process to change ice at -32 ºC to steam at 182 ºC can be divided into 5 steps:

1. Heat the ice to 0 ºC, which is the fusion temperature.

2. Melt the ice (obtaining liquid water), which is a process at constant pressure and temperature, so the liquid obtained is also at 0ºC.

3. Heat the liquid water from 0 ºC to 100 ºC, which is the vaporization normal temperature of the water.

4. Vaporization of all the water; this is also a process that occurs at constant pressure and temperature, so the produced steam will be at 100ºC.

5. Heat the steam from 100 ºC to 182 ºC.

Each process has a required energy, and the sum of the energy required for each and all of the steps is the total amount of energy required for the whole process:

E_T=E_1+E_2+E_3+E_4+E_5

E_1 is a heating process for the ice, so we know that the energy required is proportional to the temperature difference through the specific heat:

E_1=m*Cp_{sol}*(T_2-T_1)\\E_1=16g*0.5\frac{cal}{gC}*(0-(-32))=256cal

E_2 is a phase change process, so we do not use the specific heat (sensible heat), but the fusion heat (latent heat), so:

E_{2}=m*dh_{f}={16g*80\frac{cal}{g}}=1280cal

Analogously,

E_3=m*Cp_{liq}*(T_3-T_2)=16g*1.00\frac{cal}{gC}*(100-0)C = 1600 cal

E_{4}=m*{dh_{vap}}\\\\E_4=16g*540\frac{cal}{g} =8640cal

E_{5}=m*Cp_{vap}*(T_{5}-T_{4})\\E_{5}={16g*0.5\frac{cal}{gK}*(182-100)K}=656cal

Finally, the total energy required is:

E_T=256cal+1280cal+1600cal+8640cal+656cal\\E_T=12432cal

Use wave equation calculate the speed of sound in the air if frequency of 110 hz has a wave length of 3 m
kirill115 [55]
Answer = 330 m/s

The wave equation is as follows:

Wave speed = wavelength x frequency

The known values are:
Wavelength = 3m
Frequency = 110 Hz

Substitute the known values into the wave equation to find the wave speed.

Wave speed = 3 x 110

Wave speed = 330 m/s

Wilma can mow a lawn in 80 minutes. Rocky can mow the same lawn in 120 minutes. Construct an equation that would allow you to de
xeze [42]

Answer:

t = 96 minutes

Explanation:

Time to mow 1 lawn by Wilma is 80 minutes

so work done in 1 minute by Wilma is given as

W_1 = \frac{1}{80}

Similarly Rocky mow same lawn in 120 minute

so work done in 1 minute by Rocky is given as

W_2 = \frac{1}{120}

now we know that they both worked by "t" time

so total work performed by them

W = \frac{t}{80} + \frac{t}{120}

they both mow 2 lawns then it is given as

2 = (\frac{1}{80} + \frac{1}{120})t

t = 96 minutes
