Answer:

Paraffin wax (or petroleum wax) is a soft colorless solid, derived from petroleum, coal or shale oil, that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between twenty and forty carbon atoms. It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above approximately 37 °C.

Water flows from the bottom of a large tank where the pressure is 100 psig through a pipe to a turbine which produces 5.82 hp. T

Marianna [84]

Explanation:

Bernoulli equation for the flow between bottom of the tank and pipe exit point is as follows.

$\frac{p_{1}}{\gamma} + \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} + z_{1}$ = $\frac{p_{2}}{\gamma} + \frac{V^{2}_{2}}{2g} + z_{2} + h_{f} + h_{t}$

$\frac{(100 \times 144)}{62.43} + 0 + h[tex] = [tex]\frac{(50 \times 144)}{(62.43)} + \frac{(70)^{2}}{2(32.2)} + 0 + 40 + 60$

h = $\frac{(50 \times 144)}{(62.43)} + \frac{(70)^{2}}{2(32.2)} + 40 + 60 - \frac{(100 \times 144)}{(62.43)}$

= 60.76 ft

Hence, formula to calculate theoretical power produced by the turbine is as follows.

P = mgh

= $100 \times 60.76$

= 6076 lb.ft/s

= 11.047 hp

Efficiency of the turbine will be as follows.

$\eta_{t}$ = $\frac{P_{actual}}{P_{theoretical}}$ × 100%

= $\frac{5.82}{11.047} \times 100%$

= 52.684%

Thus, we can conclude that the efficiency of the turbine is 52.684%.

Assuming an electron is a hydrogen atom can undergo any of the transitions below, thus changing its energy. Which transition is

inn [45]

Answer:

n = 3 to n = 5

Explanation:

According to the Bohr's model of the atom, electrons in an atom absorb energy to move from a lower to higher energy level.

We must note that as we progress away from the nucleus, the energy levels of electrons become closer together. The energy difference between successive levels decreases and the wavelength of light associated with such transitions become longer.

Hence,the absorption of light of the longest wavelength corresponds to n = 3 to n = 5

If z = 4.0 and y = 9.6, what is the value of x?

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The value of x will be "1.4".

Explanation:

The given values are:

y = 9.6

z = 4.0

As we know,

The relation between x, y and z is:

⇒ $z = \frac{y}{x}$

and,

⇒ $x=\frac{y}{z}$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{5.6}{4.0}$

⇒ $=1.4$

Explanation:

The w/v concentration is obtained from, mass/volume. Hence;

%w/v= 50/1000= 5%

In the %w/w we have;

25g/100 g = 25% w/w

In combustion reaction, energy is given out hence it is exothermic.

Neutralization reaction yields a salt and water

% by mass of carbon is obtained from;

8× 12/114 × 100 = 84.1%

All the ionic substances mentioned have very low solubility in water.

One mole of a substance contains the Avogadro's number of each atom in the compound.

There are two iron atoms so one mole contains 2× 55.85 g of iron.

Some sulphates such as BaSO4 are insoluble in water.

Halides are soluble in water hence NaI is soluble in water.

The equation does not balance with the given coefficients because the number of atoms of each element on both sides differ.

The equation represents a decomposition of calcium carbonate as written.
