Answer:

44.7 kWh

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of Al₂O₃ to Al in the Bayer process.

6 e⁻ + 3 H₂O + Al₂O₃ → 2 Al + 6 OH⁻

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of Al is 26.98 g/mol.
  • 2 moles of Al are produced when 6 moles of e⁻ circulate.
  • 1 mol of e⁻ has a charge of 96468 c (Faraday's constant).
  • 1 V = 1 J/c
  • 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J

When the applied electromotive force is 5.00 V, the energy required to produce 3.00 kg (3.00 × 10³ g) of aluminum is:

3.00 \times 10^{3} gAl.\frac{1molAl}{26.98gAl} .\frac{6mole^{-}}{2molAl}.\frac{96468c}{1mole^{-}}.\frac{5.00J}{c}.\frac{1kWh}{3.6 \times 10^{6}J} =44.7kWh

Steam initially at 0.3 MPa, 2500 C is cooled at constant volume. (a) At what temperature will steam become saturated vapour? [12
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

a. 123.9°C

b.

c.

Explanation:

Hello, I'm attaching a picture with the numerical development of this exercise.

a. Since the steam is overheated vapour, the specific volume is gotten from the corresponding table. Then, as it became a saturated vapour, we look for the interval in which the same volume of state 1 is, then we interpolate and get the temperature.

b. Now, at 80°C, since it is about a rigid tank (constant volume for every thermodynamic process), the specific volume of the mixture is 0.79645 m^3/kg as well, so the specific volume for the liquid and the vapour are taken into account to get the quality of 0.234.

c. Now,since this is an isocoric process, the heat transfer per kg of steam is computed as the difference in the internal energy, considering the initial condition (showed in a. part) and the final one computed here.

** The thermodynamic data were obtained from Cengel's thermodynamics book 7th edition.

Best regards.

Secretary of State John Hay sent his Open Door
VikaD [51]
Secretary of State John Hay sent his Open Door Notes (1899-1900) to world powers to protect United States trading interests in China. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "3". These notes were mainly in regards to providing equal opportunity for trades in China and also respecting China's sovereignty, territorial integrity and administration. The principles of operating in China was the same for the British as well as for the United States, but John Hay was the first person to give it a written form. After this the official policy of the United States was based on the written document during the first half of the 20th century.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

The minimum number of boxes of pencils to be ordered is 630 boxes.

Explanation:

Since a pupil uses averagely 9.3 pencils

and a box contains 12 pencils,

the school enrollment is also 812

school's enrollment x average use of pencil per student

__________________________________________

            number of pencils in a box

812 x 9.3 = 7551.6

7551.6 /12 = 629.3

Having a total number of 630 boxes of pencils to be ordered.

To this day, scientists are interested in compressing gases other than nitrogen to extreme pressures. Which other gas does the a
myrzilka [38]

The other gas which the article mentioned is Helium gas.

<h3>What is Compression?</h3>

This refers to the squeezing or shortening of a substance which is most often done by  increasing the temperature.

The information scientists hope to gain by compressing this gas into a solid is by studying the molecular structures and using it in the production of other substances which is why Nitrogen and Helium are the gases being studied in this scenario.
