*<br> What is the volume, in liters, of 12.0 kg of H2 at STP?

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

According to Avogadro's law, the volume of one mole of any gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP = 273 K and 1 atm) is 22.4 L. Two important Gas Laws are required in order to convert the experimentally determined volume of hydrogen gas to that at STP. 1.

A freezer compartment is covered with a 2-mm-thick layer of frost at the time it malfunctions. If the compartment is in ambient

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The time required to melt the frost is 3.25 hours.

Explanation:

The time required to melt the frost dependes on the latent heat of the frost and the amount of heat it is transfered by convection to the air .

The heat transferred per unit area can be expressed as:

$q=h_c*A*\Delta T\\\\q/A=h_c*\Delta T$

being hc the convective heat transfer coefficient (2 Wm^-2K^-1) and ΔT the difference of temperature (20-0=20 °C or K).

$q/A=h_c*\Delta T=2\frac{W}{m^2K}*20K=40\frac{W}{m^2}$

If we take 1 m^2 of ice, with 2 mm of thickness, we have this volume

$V=T*A = 0.002 m * 1 m^2=0.002m^3$

The mass of the frost can be estimated as

$M=\rho * V=700\frac{kg}{m^3}*0.002m^3= 1.4 kg$

Then, the amount of heat needed to melt this surface (1 m²) of frost is

$Q=L*M=334\frac{kJ}{kg}*1.4kg= 467.6kJ$

The time needed to melt the frost can be calculated as

$t=\frac{Q}{(q/A)}=\frac{467.6kJ/m2}{40W/m2} = 11.69\frac{kJ}{W}*\frac{1W*s}{1J}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ}= 11690s=3.25h$

How does a Camel prevent the loss of water from their body?

Schach [20]

Camels lose less water through their urine and feces than many other mammals. Their kidneys concentrate water heavily, leading to salty urine. The intestines also reabsorb water from intestinal material as it is digested, so dry feces are produced.
