Explanation:

aluminum foil be useful in a thermos design because Aluminum foil reflects radiating heat.

Aluminum foil acts as insulation serves productively and efficiently and stops the transmission of heat that helps to reduce wastage of heat.

Aluminum foil work as thermal insulation which is utilized for multiple works where it can be useful for preventing unwanted energy gain or energy loss.

Thus this is the reason aluminum foil is useful in a thermos design.

The radioactivity due to carbon-14 measured in a piece of a wooden casket from an ancient burial site was found to produce 20 co

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

17202.6 years

Explanation:

Activity of the living sample (Ao) = 160 counts per minute

Activity of the wood sample (A) = 20 counts per minute

Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

t= age of the artifact

From;

0.693/t1/2= 2.303/t log Ao/A

Then;

0.693/ 5730= 2.303/t log Ao/A

Substituting values;

0.693/5730= 2.303/t log (160/20)

Then we obtain;

1.209×10^-4 = 2.0798/t

t= 2.0798/1.209×10^-4

Thus;

t= 17202.6 years

Therefore the artifact is 17202.6 years old.

Describe how you would use a calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal

vovikov84 [41]

<span>My only guess is obtain a metal and heat it in a boiling water bath (of known temperature) this will be your initial temperature. Now obtain a calorimeter cup with water of known temperature as well. Place the metal into the calorimeter cup and record the temperature after 5 minutes. You now have delta T, mass of the metal, and Q. Solve for C.

Hope this helps xox :)</span>

Answer:

19) 3.6920 × 10⁻⁵

20) 4.059× 10²

21) 2.46810121416 × 10³

22) 1.0000× 10⁻³

Explanation:

Scientific notation is the way to express the large value in short form.

The number in scientific notation have two parts.

The digits (decimal point will place after first digit)

× 10 ( the power which put the decimal point where it should be)

For example:

0.000036920

In scientific notation = 3.6920 × 10⁻⁵

405.9

In scientific notation = 4.059× 10²

2468.10121416

In scientific notation = 2.46810121416 × 10³

0.0010000

In scientific notation = 1.0000× 10⁻³

Complete Question

methanol can be synthesized in the gas phase by the reaction of gas phase carbon monoxide with gas phase hydrogen, a 10.0 L reaction flask contains carbon monoxide gas at 0.461 bar and 22.0 degrees Celsius. 200 mL of hydrogen gas at 7.10 bar and 271 K is introduced. Assuming the reaction goes to completion (100% yield)

what are the partial pressures of each gas at the end of the reaction, once the temperature has returned to 22.0 degrees C express final answer in units of bar

Answer:

The partial pressure of methanol is $P_{CH_3OH_{(g)}} =0.077 \ bar$

The partial pressure of carbon monoxide is $P_{CO} = 0.382 \ bar$

The partial pressure at hydrogen is $P_H = O \ bar$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The volume of the flask is $V_f = 10.0 \ L$

The initial pressure of carbon monoxide gas is $P_{CO} = 0.461 \ bar$

The initial temperature of carbon monoxide gas is $T_{CO} = 22.0^oC$

The volume of the hydrogen gas is $V_h = 200 mL = 200 *10^{-3} \ L$

The initial pressure of the hydrogen is $P_H = 7.10 \ bar$

The initial temperature of the hydrogen is $T_H = 271 \ K$

The reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is represented as

$CO_{(g)} + 2H_2_{(g)} \rightarrow CH_3OH_{(g)}$

Generally from the ideal gas equation the initial number of moles of carbon monoxide is

$n_1 = \frac{P_{CO} * V_f }{RT_{CO}}$

Here R is the gas constant with value $R = 0.0821 \ L \cdot atm \cdot mol^{-1} \cdot K$

=> $n_1 = \frac{0.461 * 10 }{0.0821 * (22 + 273)}$

=> $n_1 = 0.19$

Generally from the ideal gas equation the initial number of moles of Hydrogen is

$n_2 = \frac{P_{H} * V_H }{RT_{H}}$

$n_2 = \frac{ 7.10 * 0.2 }{0.0821 * 271 }$

=> $n_2 = 0.064$

Generally from the chemical equation of the reaction we see that

2 moles of hydrogen gas reacts with 1 mole of CO

=> 0.064 moles of hydrogen gas will react with x mole of CO

$x = \frac{0.064}{2}$

=> $x = 0.032 \ moles \ of \ CO$

Generally from the chemical equation of the reaction we see that

2 moles of hydrogen gas reacts with 1 mole of $CH_3OH_{(g)}$

=> 0.064 moles of hydrogen gas will react with z mole of $CH_3OH_{(g)}$

$z = \frac{0.064}{2}$

=> $z = 0.032 \ moles \ of \ CH_3OH_{(g)}$

From this calculation we see that the limiting reactant is hydrogen

Hence the remaining CO after the reaction is

$n_k = n_1 - x$

=> $n_k = 0.19 - 0.032$

=> $n_k = 0.156$

So at the end of the reaction , the partial pressure for CO is mathematically represented as

$P_{CO} = \frac{n_k * R * T_{CO}}{V}$

=> $P_{CO} = \frac{0.158 * 0.0821 * 295}{10}$

=> $P_{CO} = 0.382 \ bar$

Generally the partial pressure of hydrogen is 0 bar because hydrogen was completely consumed given that it was the limiting reactant

Generally the partial pressure of the methanol is mathematically represented as

$P_{CH_3OH_{(g)}} = \frac{z * R * T_{CO}}{V_f}$

Here $T_{CO}$ is used because it is given the question that the temperature returned to 22.0 degrees C

$P_{CH_3OH_{(g)}} = \frac{0.03 * 0.0821 * 295}{10}$

$P_{CH_3OH_{(g)}} =0.077 \ bar$
