Answer:

Coordination number:

Coordination number can be defined as the number of nearest atoms which touch the central atom.In simple word the number of neighbours atoms which touches a an atoms.

Atomic packing factor :

It is also known as packing efficiency.It is the fraction of volume in a Crystal which is filled by constituent particles.It is always less than 1.Generally it is represented in the fraction.

Ex:

Lets take FCC cubic cell

Coordination number = 12 .

Atomic packing factor = 74%

Shows a closed tank holding air and oil to which is connected a U-tube mercury manometer and a pressure gage. Determine the read

damaskus [11]

Answer:

$P_2-P_1=27209h$

Explanation:

For pressure gage we can determine this by saying:

The closed tank with oil and air has a pressure of P₁ and the pressure of oil at a certain height in the U-tube on mercury is p₁gh₁. The pressure of mercury on the air in pressure gauge is p₂gh₂. The pressure of the gage is P₂.

$P_1+p_1gh_1=p_2_gh_2+P_2$

We want to work out P₁-P₂: Heights aren't given so we can solve it in terms of height: assuming h₁=h₂=h

$P_1-P_2=p_1gh_1-p_2gh_2=(55)\cdot{32.2}h-845\cdot{32.2}h$

$P_2-P_1=27209h$

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a natural gas in its liquid form that is clear, colorless, odorless, non-corrosive, and non-toxic

ZanzabumX [31]

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) can be defined as a natural gas which in liquid form appear clear and colorless. It is odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. Therefore, the given statement is A) True.

LNG or Liquified Natural Gas is a fossil fuel that is produced after the compression of organic matter in the form of algae and phytoplankton.
LNG consists of 95% methane gas.
The combustion of LNG produces carbon dioxide and water vapors.
It burns with a least pollution thus called as cleanest fossil fuel.
The liquefaction of the natural gas takes place at -160 degree Celsius. The liquefaction of the gas causes it to transport easily in gas tanks.
LNG is colorless, and clear.
LNG does not possess any smell and it is non-corrosive to metallic tanks.
LNG is also non-toxic.
