How can the continuous addition of heat in a closed system cause it to explode?

VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

The heat builds pressure

Explanation:

Consider an ideal gas in a closed system (like a gas in a container: in this case, the volume of the gas is fixed). The ideal gas equation states that:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the gas volume

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

If heat is added to the gas, its temperature T increases. n and R are constant, and V is constant as well (the container does not change its volume), so this means that the pressure of the gas, p, increases as well. The more heat is added, the more the temperature increases, the more the pressure increase: at some point, the pressure against the internal walls of the container will become so strong that the container will explode.

ankoles [38]
Speed=distance/time

distance =48km
time=2 hours

speed=48/2
=24km/h


speed=24km/h

FORMULAS

speed = distance/time
time = distance/speed
distance = speed×time

Briefly describe the characteristics of each soil horizon from the top layer to the bottom layer
inna [77]
<span>There is six horizen. 1. O Horizon - The top, organic layer of soil, 2. A Horizon - The layer called topsoil; 3. E Horizon - This layer is beneath the A Horizon and above the B Horizon. It is made up mostly of sand. 4. B Horizon - Also called the subsoil - this layer is beneath the E Horizon and above the C Horizon. 5. C Horizon - it's called regolith: the layer beneath the B Horizon and above the R Horizon. 6 R Horizon - this is last and the unweathered rock layer that is beneath all the other layers.</span>

A 0.500 kg rock is whirled in a vertical circle of a radius 0.60 m . the velocity of the rock at the bottom of the swing is 4.0
OLEGan [10]

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is:

a = v² / r

a = (4.0 m/s)² / 0.60 m

a = 26.6 m/s²

One molecule of bromine (Br2) and two molecules of potassium chloride (KCI) combine in a reaction. How many atoms are in the pro
Liula [17]

In the reaction between 1 molecule of bromine and 2 molecules of potassium chloride, there are six atoms in the products.

Let's consider the balanced equation for the reaction between 1 molecule of bromine and 2 molecules of potassium chloride. This is a single replacement reaction.

Br₂ + 2 KCl ⇒ 2 KBr + Cl₂

We obtain as products, 2 molecules of potassium bromide and 1 molecule of chlorine.

  • 1 molecule of KBr has 2 atoms, so 2 molecules contribute with 4 atoms.
  • 1 molecule of Cl₂ has 2 atoms.
  • The 4 atoms from KBr and the 2 atoms from Cl₂ make a total of 6 atoms.

In the reaction between 1 molecule of bromine and 2 molecules of potassium chloride, there are six atoms in the products.
