Answer:

a) Pabs = 48960 KPa

b) T = 433.332 °C

Explanation:

  • Pabs = Pgauge + d*g* h

∴ d = 1000 Kg/m³

∴ g = 9.8 m/s²

∴ h = 5000 m

∴ P gauge = - 40 KPa * ( 1000 Pa / KPa ) = - 40000 Pa; Pa≡Kg/m*s²

⇒ Pabs = - 40000 Kg/ms² + ( 1000 Kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s² * 5000 m )

⇒ Pabs = 48960000 Pa = 48960 KPa

a) at that height and pressure, we find the temperature at which the water boils by means of an almost-exponential graph which has the following equation:

P(T) = 0.61094 exp ( 17.625*T / ( T + 243.04 ))......P (KPa) ∧ T (°C)....from literature

∴ P = 48960 KPa

⇒ ( 48960 KPa / 0.61094 ) = exp ( 17.625T / (T+ 243.04))

⇒ 80138.803 = exp ( 17.625T / ( T + 243.04))

⇒ Ln ( 80138.803) = 17.625T / ( T + 243.04))

⇒ 11.292 * ( T + 243.04 ) = 17.625T

⇒ 11.292T + 2744.289 = 17.625T

⇒ 2744.289 = 17.625T - 11.292T

⇒ 2744.289 = 6.333T

⇒ T = 433.332 °C

If you start with 64g of a radioactive element how many half-lives would occur before 8g remain?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

3 half-lives

Explanation:

The half-life is the time that it takes to a radioactive element to decay to half of its initial amount.

Let's suppose we start with 64 g of the radioactive element.

  • After 1 half-life, the mass of the element will be 32 g.
  • After 2 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 16 g.
  • After 3 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 8 g.

Sort the following chemicals for their ability to act as an oxidizer. List from strongest to weakest; 1 being strongest, 6 being
spin [16.1K]
Answer : If we list the given chemicals according to their increasing oxidising ability then the order will be like this; 1 being the strongest and 6 being the weakest 
1. K > 2. Ca >3. Ni> 4. Cu> 5. Ag> 6.Au

Explanation : Considering the reduction potential of each chemical species it will be easy to identify their oxidising capacity and differentiate accordingly;

More negative the value of reduction potential more is the ability of the chemical species to get oxidised.

Chemicals with their reduction potential is given below.

K has -2.92; Ca has -2.76; Ni has -0.23; Cu has 0.52; Ag has 1.50 and Au has 1.50.
