If we burn 1 gr of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) this will translate into a release of about 50 W of thermal energy of the flame that r

aise the temperature of the hot and cold reservoirs of a Sterling engine at 55 °C and 95 °C respectively. If at steady state the engine turns at about 240 rpm, its gears are shaped as rings of radius ~2 cm and weigh 50 gr, how efficient (in %) is the transfer of energy via flame?

Answer:

0.116%

Explanation:

efficiency of sterling engine = 1 - ( 55 + 273 )k / ( 95 + 273 ) k

                                               = 1 - ( 328 / 368 ) = 0.10869

<u>Determine how efficient the transfer of energy via flame is </u>

apply this relation ; energy of steady state / energy output  ---- ( 1 )

where;  <em><u>energy output</u></em> = efficiency of sterling engine * energy

                                     = 0.10869 * 50 = 5.4345 J/sec

<em><u>energy of steady state</u></em> = 1/2 * I * w^2  ------ ( 2 )

I = moment of inertia of engine = 2 * 10^-5 kgm^2

back to equation 2 :  

energy of steady state = 1/2 * ( 2 * 10^-5 ) * ( 240 * 2π / 60 )^2

                                      = 630.88 * 10^-5  J /sec

Input values into equation 1

= [ (630.88 * 10^-5 )  / 5.4345  ] * 100

= 0.116%

Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions? Which is generally stronger, intermolec
Inessa [10]

Answer:

A. Intramolecular interactions are generally stronger.

B. a. Only intermolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas.

Explanation:

<em>A. Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions?</em>

Intramolecular interactions, in which electrons are gained, lost or shared, constitute true bonds and are one or two orders of magnitude stronger than intermolecular interactions.

<em>B. Which of these kinds of interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas?</em>

When a liquid vaporizes, the intermolecular attractions are broken, that is, molecules get more separated. However, true bonds are not broken which is why the molecules keep their chemical identity.

Which one of the following compounds will be least soluble in water?
algol [13]

Water is a polar solvent. Since, 'Like dissolves like' a polar compound will be most soluble in water whereas a non-polar compound will be the least soluble.

The increasing order of polarity for the given organic compounds is:-

CH3OCH3 < CH3NH2 < CH3CHO < CH3CH2OH

Ether is the least polar and hence least soluble in water.

What does n, l and s mean in chemistry?
kirill [66]

Answer:

These three numbers, n, ℓ, and s can be used to describe an electron in a stable atom.

Explanation:

Each electron's quantum numbers are unique and cannot be shared by another electron in that atom. This property is called the Pauli Exclusion Principle.

Hope this helps!!! :)))
