A thin partition divides a thermally insulated vessel into a lower compartment of volume V and an upper compartment of volume 2V

. The lower compartment contains n moles of an ideal gas; the upper part is evacuated.When the partition is removed, the gas expands and fills both compartments. How many moles n of gas were initially contained in the lower compartment if the entropy change of the gas in this free-expansion process is 17.28 J/K?

Answer:

1.89mol

Explanation:

The entropy change during free expansion is express as

S_{f}-S_{i}=nRln(\frac{V_{F}}{V_{I}})\\

Where S is the entropy of the system,

            n is the amount of mole

             R is the gas constant = 8.314 and

           V is the volume occupied at the initial and final stage

since the process is n adiabatic free expansion, the entropy of the system is constant. Hence we can re-write the equation as

S=nRln(\frac{V_{F}}{V_{I}})\\

where the  V_{i}=v\\ and V_{f}=2v+v=3v\\

S=17.28J/k\\ and

R=8.314\\

Now if we substitute in values we arrive at

17.28=(8.314)n*ln(\frac{3v}{v} )\\17.28=(8.314)n*ln(3 )\\17.28=(8.314)n*1.0986\\n=\frac{17.28}{8.314*1.0989}\\n=1.89 mole\\

for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons  = 8

Number of neutrons  = 9

Number of electrons  = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

 For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

     Charge  = Number of protons  - Number of electrons

      Charge  =  8  - 10  = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

 The ion is O²⁻

Complete Question

The table below shows different items that are found sitting on the counter in a kitchen. The temperature of the kitchen is 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Classify the objects according to whether their molecules will speed up or slow down after being left in the kitchen for a period of time.

Drag the objects to the correct category.

Object Temperature (Fahrenheit)

ice cubes 26°F

glass of tea 60°F

cooked piece of meat 160°F

butter 55°F

pot of water 75°F

bowl of soup 140°F

Answer:

Molecules that would speed up

ice cubes 26°F

glass of tea 60°F

butter 55°F

Molecules that would slow down

cooked piece of meat 160°F

pot of water 75°F

bowl of soup 140°F

Explanation:

Molecules that are found or contained in a substances have the tendency to react in such as what that they are are sped up or slowed down. This is due to their exposure to various kinds of changes in temperature, which could be a hot temperature , cold temperature e.t.c

When a substance is exposed to a hot temperature, the molecules of that substance speed up depending on how hot the temperature is while when a substance is cooled down or exposed to cold temperature, the molecules tend to slow down.

In the question above, the temperature of the kitchen is 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

Molecules that would speed up after been left in the Kitchen for a while:

a) Ice cubes 26°F: This is because 72°F is a warm took temperature, so the ice cubes would melt causing the molecules to speed up.

b)Glass of tea 60°F: This glass of tea is at a cool temperature of 60°F, when it is kept in the Kitchen which has a temperature of 72°F for while, the temperature of the glass of tea would increase due to an increase in its rate of reaction causing the molecules of the glass of water to speed up.

c) Butter 55°F: This is because 72°F is a warm temperature, so the butter would melt, increasing its rate of reaction and causing the molecules to speed up

Molecules that would slow down

a) Cooked piece of meat 160°F : 160°F is a very hot temperature and when it is left in a the Kitchen(72°F) , the cooked meat would begin to cool down and drop in temperature from 160°F, causing the molecules to slow down.

b) Pot of water 75°F: The temperature of the kitchen and the temperature of the pot of water is the same, hence the molecules of the water would slow down.

c) Bowl of soup 140°F : This bowl of soup is very hot and when it is left in the Kitchen(72°F) , the bowl of soup would begin to cool down and drop in temperature from 140°F, slowing down the rate of reaction and causing the molecules to slow down.

Theo made a list of the properties of electromagnetic waves. Identify the mistake in the list. Electromagnetic Wave Properties 1
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Line 3 has a mistake.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to the each other. Therefore, Line 1 is correct.

Also, the fields in an electromagnetic waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave: therefore, they are transverse waves. So Line 2 is also correct.

Electromagnetic waves, contrary to mechanical waves, do not need a medium to propagate: so, they can also travel through a vacuum. Therefore, Line 3 is wrong.

Finally, all electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum at the same speed, called speed of light:

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s

So, Line 4 is also correct.
