Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

It is important to use the correct number of significant numbers when reporting the results of an experiment because they indicate the accuracy of the measurements. Significant numbers in measurement are those that provide fundamental information about uncertainty or accuracy of measurement.

Have a nice day!

An insulated rigid tank contains 3 kg of H2O in the form of a saturated mixture of liquid and vapor at a pressure of 150 kPa and
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

change in entropy is 1.44 kJ/ K

Explanation:

from steam tables

At 150 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001053 m^3/kg

vg = 1.1594 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.4337 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.789 kJ/kg

initial specific volume is calculated as

v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

      = 0.001053 + 0.25(1.1594 - 0.001053)

v_1 = 0.20964  m^3/kg

s_1 = Sf + x(Sfg)

     = 1.4337 + 0.25 \times 5.7894 = 2.88 kJ/kg K

FROM STEAM Table

at 200 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001061 m^3/kg

vg = 0.88578 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.5302 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.5698 kJ/kg

constant volume  sov_1 -  v_2  = 0.29064 m^3/kg

v_2 = v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

       =0.29064 = x_2(0.88578 - 0.001061)

x_2 = 0.327

s_2 = 1.5302 + 0.32 \times 5.5968 = 3.36035 kJ/kg K

Change in entropy \Delta s = m(s_2 - s_1)

              =3( 3.36035 - 2.88) =  1.44 kJ/kg

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The floor of the ocean is 6120 m deep.

Explanation:

In order to find the depth of the ocean we need to use the speed of the ultrasonic sound 1530 m/s and the time it takes for the echo to comeback. Since the wave is transmitted by the vessel goes to the bottom of the ocean and comeback, it travels the distance between the vessel and the floor two times, so we can divide the time by two. We then have:

D = V*t/2 = 1530*8/2 = 1530*4 = 6120 m
