Answer:

(A) 800 K (B) 2.4 KW

Explanation:

We have given the COP =1.6

The sink temperature T_L=300K

We have to find the source temperature, that is T_H

(A) We know that COP of the heat pump is given by COP=\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_L}

So 1.6=\frac{T_H}{T_H-300}

1.6T_H-480=T_H

0.6T_H=480

T_H=800K

(B) We have given the work done =1.5 KW

The rate of heat transfer is given by Q_H=COP\times W=1.6\times 1.5=2.4KW

What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air if the temperature is increased?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Air is mainly composed of N2  (78%), O2 (21%) and other trace gases. Now, the total pressure of air is the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases. The partial pressure of each gas, for example say O2, can be expressed as:

p(O2) = mole fraction of O2 * P(total, air)  ----(1)

Thus, the partial pressure is directly proportional to the total pressure. If we consider a sealed container then, as the temperature of air increases so will its pressure. Based on equation (1) an increase in the pressure of air should also increase the partial pressure of oxygen.

If 0.092J of heat causes a 0.267 degree C temperature change, what mass of water is present?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

0.082g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Heat (Q) = 0.092J

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 0.267°C

Specific heat capacity (C) of water = 4.184J/g°C

Mass (M) =..?

Thus, the mass of present can be obtained as follow:

Q = MCΔT

0.092 = M x 4.184 x 0.267

Divide both side by 4.184 x 0.267

M = 0.092 / (4.184 x 0.267)

M = 0.082g

Therefore, mass of water was present is 0.082.
