Determine the minimum work required by an air compressor. At the inlet the conditions are 150 kg/min, 125 kPa and 33 °C. At the

exit, the pressure is 550 kPa. Assume air is an ideal gas with MW 29 g/mol, Cp 3.5R (constant).

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

               MW = 29 g/mol,         C_{p} = 3.5 R

Formula to calculate minimum amount of work is as follows.

            W_{s} = C_{p}T_{1}[(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{\frac{R}{C_{p}}} - 1]

                          = 3.5 \times 8.314 J/k mol \times 306 \times [(\frac{550}{125})^{\frac{1}{3.5}} - 1]

                          = 4.692 kJ/mol

Therefore, total work done will be calculated as follows.

                        Total work done = m \times W_{s}

Since, m = \frac{150 \times 10^{3}g/min}{29}. Therefore, putting these values into the above formula as follows.

            Total work done = m \times W_{s}

                                        = \frac{150 \times 10^{3}g/min}{29} \times 4.692 kJ/min      

                                       = 24268.96 kJ/min

It is known that 1 kJ/min = 0.0166 kW. Hence, convert 24268.96 kJ/min into kW as follows.

                   24268.96 kJ/min \times \frac{0.0166 kW}{1 kJ/min}                                                    

                   = 402.86 kW

Thus, we can conclude that the minimum work required by an air compressor is 402.86 kW.

Calculate the change in temperature that occurs when 3.50 x 10^-2kg of copper heated by 635 J of energy. Ccu = 0.385 j/gxC
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The change in T° is 47.1 °C

Explanation:

Calorimetry formula to solve this:

Q = m . C . ΔT

We replace the data gien:

635 J = 3.50×10⁻² kg . 0.385 J/g°C . ΔT

In units of C, we have g and the mass (m) is in kg. So let's convert it from kg to g → 3.50×10⁻² kg . 1000 g / 1kg = 35 g. Now we can determine the ΔT:

635 J = 35 g . 0.385 J/g°C . ΔT

635 J / 35 g . 0.385 J/g°C = ΔT

47.1°C = ΔT

What is the molality of a solution of Fe(ClO3), in water that freezes at -2.72°C?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

0.366m = Molality of the solution

Explanation:

To solve this question we must know the addition of a solute produce decreasing in freezing point regard to the pure solvent. The equation is:

ΔT = m*Kf*i

<em>Where ΔT is change in freezing point </em>

(As freezing point of water is 0°C, the ΔT is 2.72°C)

<em>Kf is freezing point depression constant = 1.86°C/m for water</em>

<em>i is Van't Hoff factor. The number of ions produced when 1 mole of the salt is dissolved = 4 ions for Fe(ClO₃)₃, Fe³⁺ and 3 ClO₃⁻ ions</em>

<em>m is molality of the solution.</em>

<em />

Replacing:

2.72°C = m*1.86°C/m*4

<h3>0.366m = Molality of the solution</h3>
