Answer: Option D) 298 g/mol is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

Mass of sample m = 13.7 g

pressure P = 2.01 atm

Volume V = 0.750 L

Temperature T = 399 K

Now taking a look at the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

we solve for n

n = PV/RT

now we substitute

n = (2.01 atm x 0.750 L) / (0.0821 L-atm/mol-K x 399 K )

= 1.5075 / 32.7579

= 0.04601 mol

we know that

molar mass of the compound = mass / moles

so

Molar Mass = 13.7 g / 0.04601 mol

= 297.7 g/mol ≈ 298 g/mol

Therefore Option D) 298 g/mol is the correct answer

A car engine with a thermal efficiency of 33% drives the air-conditioner unit (a refrigerator) besides powering the car and othe

fgiga [73]

Answer:

The rate of fuel required to drive the air conditioner $Q_h = 6.061 kW$

The flow rate of the cold air is $\r m = 0.30765 kg/s$

Explanation:

From this question we are told that

The efficiency is $\eta = 33$ % = 0.33

Temperature for the hot day is $T_h = 35^oC = 308 K \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (35+273)$

Temperature after cooling is $T_c = 5^oC = 278K$

The input power is $P_{in} = 2kW$

The rate of fuel required to drive the air conditioner can be mathematically represented as

$Q_h = \frac{P_{in}}{\eta}$

$= \frac{2}{0.33} = 6.061 kW$

From the question the air condition is assumed to be half as a Carnot refrigeration unit

This can be Mathematically interpreted in terms of COP(coefficient of performance) as

$\beta_{air} = 0.5 \beta$

where $\beta$ denotes COP and is mathematically represented as

$\beta = \frac{Q_c}{P_{in}}$

= > $Q_c = \beta P_{in}$

Where $Q_c$ is the rate of flue being burned for cold air to flow

Now if the COP of a Carnot refrigerator is having this value

$\beta_{Carnot } = \frac{T_c}{T_h - T_c}$

$= \frac{278}{308-278}$

$\beta_{Carnot} = 9.267\\$

Then

$\beta_{air} = 0.5 * 9.2667$

$= 4.6333$

Now substituting the value of $\beta$ to solve for $Q_c$

$Q_c = \beta P_{in}$

$= 4.6333 *2$

$9.2667kW$

The equation for the rate of fuel being burned for the cold air to flow

$Q_c = \r mc_p \Delta T$

Making the flow rate of the cold air

$\r m = \frac{Q_c}{c_p \Delta T}$

$= \frac{9.2667}{1.004}* (308 - 278)$

$= 0.30765 kg/s$

Explain why advances in technology can actually create more problems for engineers.

andrew11 [14]

Explanation:

Engineering is science in practical terms. It is the application of scientific findings in problem solving and creating a better world.

How does technological advancements create more problems for engineers?

Loss of job to automation: the world is driving at automating work processes through the use of specially designed and crafted machinery. Work is now properly being done using machines with little to no human input in the whole process. This is a huge let off for engineers. Engineers have to compete with machines which are their own inventions for jobs now.
Fast paced work environment: machines can handle work more efficiently and faster than the people making them. There is an increasing race between engineers and their own inventions today for better product delivery. Unless a machine is faulty, they are more productive and efficient than man. This can cause engineers to want to catch up with their own inventions leading to a work life of stress.
Environmental problems they cannot solve: most inventions use components from the environment. They release effluents that are very difficult to be properly disposed or stored. This is a huge problem for engineers and can lead to ethical calls from the government and the populace. In short, they can create problems they are expected to solve but cannot solve.
Social problems: engineers can be portrayed as terrible beings for their own inventions. This leads to psychological problems on a good and creative invention. For example, rare earth metals in DR Congo are instrumental in making solar panels, but mining of these metals have forced several thousands of people into hard and intense labor on mines; there is a call on technological firms to stop exploiting people this way for their own gains.
Misuse of technology: any good technology can be put into the wrong use. A nuclear reaction can be packaged into a bomb and also, it can be the center of electricity generation on a commercial scale. How can engineers solve this kind of problem? Technological inventions are subjective in their usage.

How can pavement markings indicate that you are driving in the right direction?

Ann [662]

Answer:

There is a yellow line on your left and a white line on your right.

Explanation:

The yellow line between the roads separate the oncoming traffic lane, so the drivers won't get confused. Since the driver is on the right side of the road, the yellow line would be on their left, since the middle line (yellow line) is in the middle of the road.

You are given a body with no body forces and told that the stress state is given as: ⎡ ⎣ 3αx 5βx2 + αy γz3 5βx2 + αy βx2 0 γz3 0

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

This doesn't represent an equilibrium state of stress

Explanation:

∝ = 1 , β = 1 , y = 1

x = 0 , y = 0 , z = 0 ( body forces given as 0 )

Attached is the detailed solution is and also the conditions for equilibrium

for a stress state to be equilibrium all three conditions has to meet the equilibrum condition as explained in the attached solution
