What is the resistance of a fluid on an object?

1 answer:

5 0

Fluid resistance refers to the forces a fluid places on a moving object in the opposite direction to the movement, also known as drag. Drag is the force created by a fluid to resist the motion of an object through it. There are 2 main sources of drag: pressure (form) and friction.

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Nitroglycerine (C₃H₅N₃O₉) explodes with tremendous force due to the numerous gaseous products. The equation for the explosion of Nitroglycerine is:

$4C_3H_5N_3O_9(l)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+O_2(g)+6N_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

A scientist conducts an experiment to characterize a bomb containing nitroglycerine. She uses a steel, ridge container for the test.

Volume of rigid steel container: 1.00 L

Molar mass of Nitroglycerine: 227 g/mol

Temperature: 300 K

Amount of Nitroglycerine tested: 227 g

Value for ideal gas constant, R: 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

In a second experiment, the total pressure is observed to be 58 atm. what is the partial pressure of the water vapor produced?

Answer : The partial pressure of the water vapor is, 20.01 atm

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$

$\text{Moles of }C_3H_5N_3O_9=\frac{\text{Given mass }C_3H_5N_3O_9}{\text{Molar mass }C_3H_5N_3O_9}=\frac{227g}{227g/mol}=1mol$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $CO_2,O_2,N_2\text{ and }H_2O$

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$4C_3H_5N_3O_9(l)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+O_2(g)+6N_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 12 moles of $CO_2$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{12}{4}=3$ moles of $CO_2$

and,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 1 moles of $O_2$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{1}{4}=0.25$ moles of $O_2$

and,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 6 moles of $N_2$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{6}{4}=1.5$ moles of $N_2$

and,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 10 moles of $H_2O$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{10}{4}=2.5$ moles of $H_2O$

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of water.

$\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2O}{\text{Moles of }H_2O+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }O_2+\text{Moles of }N_2}$

$\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{2.5}{2.5+3+0.25+1.5}=0.345$

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of the water vapor.

According to the Raoult's law,

$p_{H_2O}=X_{H_2O}\times p_T$

where,

$p_{H_2O}$ = partial pressure of water vapor gas = ?

$p_T$ = total pressure of gas = 58 atm

$X_{H_2O}$ = mole fraction of water vapor gas = 0.345

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$p_{H_2O}=X_{H_2O}\times p_T$

$p_{H_2O}=0.345\times 58atm=20.01atm$

Therefore, the partial pressure of the water vapor is, 20.01 atm

Fill in the blanks using terms from this unit.

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Even though plants are rooted in the ground, they still move, exert force, and do work.

Plant cells have very strong cell walls that allow pressure to build up inside of the cell as water is absorbed. This pressure is called turgor.

When turgor pressure is high enough in a cell, the cell walls become firm and as a result, the cell becomes rigid and the plant is able to stand tall and straight.

When a plant does not get enough water, the turgor pressure inside of the cells decreases. A decrease in pressure pushing against the cell wall causes the cells to lose their shape and shrink. This causes the plant to begin to droop or wilt.

When the wilted plant gets enough water, the cells will become rigid again, and the plant will stand firm and straight once again.

How does the brønsted-Lowry theory define acids and bases?

Leviafan [203]

They define acids as proton donors, and bases as proton acceptors

If you were to have:

HNO3 + H2O -> H3O+. + NO3-

You can see that the nitric acid (HNO3) gave a hydrogen ion which has 1 proton, 0 neutrons and 0 electrons to the water so we just say that it gave a proton.

Now let's see a base

NH3 + H2O -> NH4+ + OH-

Now, you can see that the ammonia (NH3) gained a hydrogen ion (proton) from the water to become ammonium(NH4). which means it accepted a proton

That's basically it. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions
