Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The concentration of  high-pressure side is  C_1 =   0.722 \ kg/m^3

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The thickness of the polyethylene is  d  =  1.5 \ mm = 0.0015 \ m

     The  temperature is  T  =  600 \   K

      The flux is  JA  =  2.48 *10^{-5} \  kg/m^2\cdot s

      The concentration on the low-pressure side is  C_2 =  0.5 \ kg/m^3

       The initial diffusivity  is  D_o  =  6.2 *10^{-4} \ m^2 /s

       The activation energy for  diffusion is   Q_d  =  41 \ kJ /mol  =  41*10^3 J /mol

Generally the diffusivity  of the oxygen at 600 K can be  mathematically evaluated  as

        D   = D_o * e^{- \frac{Q_d}{R * T  } }  

substituting values  

         D   = 6.2*10^{-4} * e^{- \frac{41 *10^3}{8.314 * 600  } }  

          D   = 1.671 *10^{-7} \ m^2 /s  

Generally the flux is mathematically represented as

          JA  =  D  *  \frac{C_1 -C_2}{d}

Where C_1 is the concentration of oxygen at the higher side

       So  

             C_1 =    d  * \frac{JA}{D}  + C_2

substituting values  

             C_1 =    0.0015   * \frac{2.48*10^{-5}}{1.671*10^{-7}}  + 0.5

              C_1 =   0.722 \ kg/m^3

alexira [117]

Answer:

a) After helping our partner, we should immediately report the incident to the lab manager or any person in charge of the emergencies occurring in the lab.

b) We should have a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet to give to the responders. This is because the responder can identify what materials were being used by the person ans what other security measures need to be taken.

28 grams of Al react with 30 Oxygen gas (O2) to produce Al Oxide (Al2O3). How many grams of Al Oxide will be produced
Kamila [148]

Answer:

58

Explanation:

Due to conservation of energy, the sum of the reactants = the sum of the products. So 28 + 30 = 58g
