Answer:

Q = 3,534.4 lbm/s = 212,062 lbm/min

Explanation:

Mass flowrate of discharge or leakage mass flowrate (Q) is given as

Q = AC₀√(2ρgP)

A = Cross sectional Area of leakage = (πD²/4) = (π×0.7²)/4

A = 0.385 ft²

C₀ = discharge coefficient = 0.98 (For maximum discharge flow rate, the flow is turbulent with discharge coefficient within 1% of 0.98)

ρ = density of butane at 76°F = 35.771 lbm/ft³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 lbm.ft/lbf.s²

P = Gauge Pressure in the tank = (absolute pressure) - (external pressure) = 19 - 1 = 18 atm = 38091.9 lbf/ft²

Q = AC₀√(2ρgP)

Q = (0.385)(0.98)√(2×35.771×32.2×38091.9)

Q = 3,534.4 lbm/s = 212,062 lbm/min

Hope this Helps!!!

The value of Kp for the reaction NO(g) 1 1 2 O2(g) 4 NO2(g) is 1.5 3 106 at 25°C. At equilibrium, what is the ratio of PNO2 to P
expeople1 [14]

Answer : The ratio of p_{NO_2} to p_{NO} is, 6.87\times 10^5

Solution :  Given,

K_p=1.5\times 10^6

p_{O_2} = 0.21 atm

The given equilibrium reaction is,

NO(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightleftharpoons NO_2(g)

The expression of K_p will be,

K_p=\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})\times (p_{O_2})^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

1.5\times 10^6=\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})\times (0.21)^{\frac{1}{2}}}

\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})}=(1.5\times 10^6)\times (0.21)^{\frac{1}{2}}

\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})}=6.87\times 10^5

Therefore, the ratio of p_{NO_2} to p_{NO} is, 6.87\times 10^5

Describe the results of a physical change and list<br> three examples of physical change.
Alex Ar [27]

Physical changes are changes affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Physical changes are used to separate mixtures into their component compounds, but can not usually be used to separate compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds.

Ex: cutting a paper, gaining weight, cutting hair
