You can obtain a rough estimate of the size of a molecule with the following simple experiment: Let a droplet of oil spread out

on a fairly large but smooth water surface. The resulting "oil slick" that forms on the surface of the water will be approximately one molecule thick. Given an oil droplet with a mass of 9.00 × 10−7 kg and a density of 918 kg/m3 that spreads out to form a circle with a radius of 41.8 cm on the water surface, what is the approximate diameter of an oil molecule?

Answer:

The diameter of the oil molecule is 4.4674\times 10^{-8} cm .

Explanation:

Mass of the oil drop = m=9.00\times 10^{-7} kg

Density of the oil drop = d=918 kg/m^3

Volume of the oil drop: v

d=\frac{m}{v}

v=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{9.00\times 10^{-7} kg}{918 kg/m^3}

Thickness of the oil drop is 1 molecule thick.So, let the thickness of the drop or diameter of the molecule be x.

Radius of the oil drop on the water surface,r = 41.8 cm = 0.418 m

1 cm = 0.01 m

Surface of the sphere is given as: a = 4\pi r^2

a=4\times 3.14\times (0.418 m)^2=2.1945 m^2

Volume of the oil drop = v = Area × thickness

\frac{9.00\times 10^{-7} kg}{918 kg/m^3}=2.1945 m^2\times x

x= 4.4674\times 10^{-10} m= 4.4674\times 10^{-8} cm

The thickness of the oil drop is 4.4674\times 10^{-8} cm and so is the diameter of the molecule.

Answer:

ΔS = -661.0J/mol is the entropy change for the system

ΔS = -842J/mol.K is the entropy change for the surroundings

Explanation:

From the relationship between ΔG, T, ΔH and ΔS,

Mathematically, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

TΔS = ΔH - ΔS

ΔS = ΔH - ΔS / T

but ΔG = -54 kJ/mol, ΔH = -251 kJ/mol and T = 25 °C (298 K)

plugging into the equation,

ΔS = -251 kJ/mol - ( -54 kJ/mol) / 298

ΔS  = -0.6610KJ/mol or in J.mol

ΔS = -661.0J/mol is the entropy change for the system

  • For entropy change for the surroundings = ΔS = ΔH/T
  • ΔS  = -251 kJ/mol / 298K
  • ΔS = -0.84KJ/mol.K or -842J/mol.K is the entropy change for the surroundings

Conservation of matter article questions

The Law of conservation of mass states that  option C: matter is neither created nor destroyed.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of matter?</h3>

Physical and chemical changes can cause matter to transform into different forms, but no matter what happens, matter is always conserved. There is no creation or destruction of matter; the amount of matter is the same before and after the transformation.

The principle of matter conservation. argues that matter cannot be generated or destroyed during a chemical reaction. The same number of atoms exist before and after the alterations even though the matter may shift from one form to another. reactant.

Therefore, According to the principle of mass conservation, neither chemical processes nor physical changes can create or destroy mass in an isolated system. The mass of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction must be equal, in accordance with the law of conservation of mass.

Air, with an initial absolute humidity of 0.016 kg water per kg dry air, is to be dehumidified for a drying process by an air co
amid [387]

Answer:

(a) The proportion of dry air bypassing the unit is 14.3%.

(b) The mass of water removed is 1.2 kg per 100 kg of dry air.

Explanation:

We can express the proportion of air that goes trough the air conditioning unit as p_{d} and the proportion of air that is by-passed as p_{bp}, being p_{d}+p_{bp}=1.

The amount of water that goes into the drier inlet has to be 0.004 kg/kg, and can be expressed as:

0.004 = 0.016*p_{bp}+ 0.002*p_{d}

Replacing the first equation in the second one we have

0.004 = 0.016*(1-p_{d})+ 0.002*p_{d}=0.016-0.016*p_{d}+0.002*p_{d}\\0.004 - 0.016 = (-0.016+0.002)*p_{d}\\-0.012 = -0.014*p_{d}\\p_{d}=\frac{-0.012}{-0.014}=0.857\\\\p_{bp}=1-p_{d}=1-0.857=0.143

(b) Of every kg of dry air feed, 85.7% goes in to the air conditioning unit.

It takes (0.016-0.002)=0.014 kg water per kg dry air feeded.

The water removed of every 100 kg of dry air is

100 kgDA*0.857*0.014 kgW/kgDA= 1.1998 \approx 1.2 kgW

It can also be calculated as the difference in humiditiy between the inlet and the outlet: (0.016-0.004=0.012 kgW/kDA) and multypling by the total amount of feed (100 kgDA).

100 * 0.012 = 1.2 kgW

At PO2 = 40 mm Hg, which statement about the saturation of either myoglobin (Mb) or hemoglobin (Hb) is true? At PO2 = 40 mm Hg,
Damm [24]

Answer:

At this partial pressure of oxygen, Mb would be almost completely saturated but Hb would not.  

Explanation:

The oxygen saturation curves for Mb and Hb are quite different. The curve for Mb is hyperbolic while that for Hb is sigmoidal.

Mb reaches oxygen saturation before Hb.

Thus, at a partial pressure of 40 mmHg, Mb is almost completely saturated but Hb is not.
