T<span>his is a straightforward question related to the surface energy of the droplet. </span>

<span>You know the surface area of a sphere is 4π r² and its volume is (4/3) π r³. </span>

<span>With a diameter of 1.4 mm you have an original droplet with a radius of 0.7 mm so the surface area is roughly 6.16 mm² (0.00000616 m²) and the volume is roughly 1.438 mm³. </span>

<span>The total surface energy of the original droplet is 0.00000616 * 72 ~ 0.00044 mJ </span>

<span>The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original. Therefore </span>

<span>5 V = 1.438 mm³ so the volume of one of the smaller spheres is 1.438/5 = 0.287 mm³. </span>

<span>Since this smaller volume still has the volume (4/3) π r³ then r = cube_root(0.287/(4/3) π) = cube_root(4.39) = 0.4 mm. </span>

<span>Each of the smaller droplets has a surface area of 4π r² = 2 mm² or 0.0000002 m². </span>

<span>The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplets is then 5 * 0.000002 * 72.0 = 0.00072 mJ </span>
<span>From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 0.00072 and the difference in energy is 0.00072- 0.00044 mJ = 0.00028 mJ. </span>

<span>Therefore you need roughly 0.00028 mJ or 0.28 µJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.4 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets. </span>

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: Heat of vaporization is 41094 Joules

Explanation:

The vapor pressure is determined by Clausius Clapeyron equation:

ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2})

where,

P_1= initial pressure at  429 K = 760 torr

P_2 = final pressure at 415 K  = 515 torr

= enthalpy of vaporisation = ?

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

T_1= initial temperature =  429 K

T_2 = final temperature = 515 K

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\log (\frac{515}{760}=\frac{\Delta H}{2.303\times 8.314J/mole.K}[\frac{1}{429K}-\frac{1}{415K}]

\Delta H=41094J

Thus the heat of vaporization is 41094 Joules

The element oxygen has _____ valence electrons. (Input only a whole number, such as 7.)
kipiarov [429]
Remark
The short Answer is 6. That's why the ion has a charge of minus 2. Oxygen is doing it's best to have its outer ring have 8 electrons which is the number of outer electrons contained in the outer ring of the Noble Gas Neon.
