Answer:

b. 1 770 kWh

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a certain amount of a substance is given by:

$Q=mC\Delta T$

Here m is the mass of the susbtance, C is the specific heat of the substance and $\Delta T$ is the temperature change

$Q=(40000*3.8kg)(4186\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^\circ C})(10^\circ C)\\Q=6.36*10^9J$

Recall that one watt hour is equivalent to 1 watt (1 W) of power sustained for 1 hour. One watt is equal to 1 J/s. So, one watt hour is equal to 3600 J and one kilowatt hour is equal to $3600*10^3 J$

$Q=6.36*10^9J*\frac{1kW\cdot h}{3600*10^3J}\\Q=1766.66kW\cdot h$

An automobile tire is inflated with air originally at 10.0°C and normal atmospheric pressure. During the process, the air is com

solong [7]

Answer:

(a) $3.81\times 10^5\ Pa$

(b) $4.19\times 1065\ Pa$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

$T_1$ = The first temperature of air inside the tire = $10^\circ C =(273+10)\ K =283\ K$

$T_2$ = The second temperature of air inside the tire = $46^\circ C =(273+46)\ K= 319\ K$

$T_3$ = The third temperature of air inside the tire = $85^\circ C =(273+85)\ K=358 \ K$

$V_1$ = The first volume of air inside the tire

$V_2$ = The second volume of air inside the tire = $30\% V_1 = 0.3V_1$

$V_3$ = The third volume of air inside the tire = $2\%V_2+V_2= 102\%V_2=1.02V_2$

$P_1$ = The first pressure of air inside the tire = $1.01325\times 10^5\ Pa$

<u>Assume:</u>

$P_2$ = The second pressure of air inside the tire

$P_3$ = The third pressure of air inside the tire
n = number of moles of air

Since the amount pof air inside the tire remains the same, this means the number of moles of air in the tire will remain constant.

Using ideal gas equation, we have

$PV = nRT\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{PV}{T}=nR = constant\,\,\,(\because n,\ R\ are\ constants)$

Part (a):

Using the above equation for this part of compression in the air, we have

$\therefore \dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow P_2 = \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}\times \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\times P_1\\\Rightarrow P_2 = \dfrac{V_1}{0.3V_1}\times \dfrac{319}{283}\times 1.01325\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow P_2 =3.81\times 10^5\ Pa$

Hence, the pressure in the tire after the compression is $3.81\times 10^5\ Pa$ .

Part (b):

Again using the equation for this part for the air, we have

$\therefore \dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}=\dfrac{P_3V_3}{T_3}\\\Rightarrow P_3 = \dfrac{V_2}{V_3}\times \dfrac{T_3}{T_2}\times P_2\\\Rightarrow P_3 = \dfrac{V_2}{1.02V_2}\times \dfrac{358}{319}\times 3.81\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow P_3 =4.19\times 10^5\ Pa$

Hence, the pressure in the tire after the car i driven at high speed is $4.19\times 10^5\ Pa$ .

Can a solution be separated by filtration?

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Filtration is a method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. When a mixture of sand and water is filtered: the sand stays behind in the filter paper (it becomes the residue ) the water passes through the filter paper (it becomes the filtrate )

Explanation:

Listo!
