Describe outer core.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Naily [24]3 years ago
7 0
Earth's outer core is a fluid layer about 2,400 km (1,500 mi) thick and composed of mostly iron and nickel that lies above Earth's solid inner core and below its mantle. Its outer boundary lies 2,890 km (1,800 mi) beneath Earth's surface. ... Unlike the inner (or solid) core, the outer core is liquid. Hope this helps

Potassium nitrate has a lattice energy of -163.8 kcal/mol and a heat of hydration of -155.5 kcal/mol.
Brut [27]

Answer:

<em>293.99 g </em>

OR

<em>0.293 Kg</em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Lattice energy of Potassium nitrate (KNO3) = -163.8 kcal/mol

Heat of hydration of KNO3 = -155.5 kcal/mol

Heat to absorb by KNO3 = 101kJ

To find:

Mass of KNO3 to dissolve in water = ?

Solution:

Heat of solution = Hydration energy - Lattice energy

                           = -155.5 -(-163.8)

                           = 8.3 kcal/mol

We already know,

1 kcal/mol = 4.184 kJ/mole

Therefore,

= 4.184 kJ/mol x 8.3 kcal/mol

= 34.73 kJ/mol

Now, 34.73 kJ of heat is absorbed when 1 mole of KNO3 is dissolved in water.

For 101 kJ of heat would be

= 101/34.73

= 2.908 moles of KNO3

Molar mass of KNO3 = 101.1 g/mole

Mass of KNO3 = Molar mass x moles

                         = 101.1 g/mole  x  2.908

                         = 293.99 g

                         = 0.293 kg

<em><u>293.99 g potassium nitrate has to dissolve in water to absorb 101 kJ of heat. </u></em>

A 32.5 g iron rod, initially at 22.4 ∘C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.0 ∘C, in an insulated container. The f
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The mass of water m_{w} = 39.18 gm

Explanation:

Mass of iron m_{iron} = 32.5 gm

Initial temperature of iron T_{1} = 22.4°c = 295.4 K

Specific heat of iron  C_{iron} = 0.448 \frac{KJ}{kg K}

Mass of water = m_{w}

Specific heat of water  C_{w} = 4.2 \frac{KJ}{kg  K}

Initial temperature of water T_{2} = 336 K  

Final temperature after equilibrium T_{f} = 59.7°c = 332.7 K

When iron rod is submerged into water then

Heat lost by water  = Heat gain by iron rod

m_{w} C_{w} (T_{2} - T_{f} ) =  m_{iron} C_{iron} ( T_{f} - T_{1} )

Put all the values in above formula we get

m_{w} × 4.2 × ( 336 - 332.7 ) = 32.5 × 0.448 × ( 332.7 - 295.4 )

m_{w} = 39.18 gm

Therefore the mass of water m_{w} = 39.18 gm

The Charles Zeppelin, a fictional airship, is filled with 2.16 x 105 liters of hydrogen gas (H2). On the ground, the airship’s t
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

V2 = 3.11 x 105 liters

Explanation:

Initial Volume, V1 = 2.16 x 105 liters

Initial Temperature, T1 = 295 K

Final Temperature, T2 = 425 K

Final Volume, V2 = ?

These quantities are related by charle's law and the equation of the law is given as;

V1 / T1  =  V2 / T2

V2 = T2 * V1 / T1

V2 = 425 * 2.16 x 105 / 295

V2 = 3.11 x 105 liters
