A 24-cm-diameter vertical cylinder is sealed at the top by a frictionless 15 kg piston. The piston is 90 cm above the bottom whe

n the gas temperature is 315 ∘C. The air above the piston is at 1.00 atm pressure.
A) What is the gas pressure inside the cylinder?B) What will the height of the piston be if the temperature is lowered to18 ∘C?

Answer:

(A) P_i=3249.41\ Pa

(B) V_f=0.3358\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • diameter of the cylinder, d= 0.24\ m
  • mass of piston sealing on the top, m_p=15\ kg
  • initial temperature of the piston, T_i=315+273= 588\ K
  • initial height of piston, h_i=0.9\ m
  • atmospheric pressure on the piston, p_a=1 atm=101325\ Pa

(A)

<u>Initial pressure of gas is the pressure balanced by the weight of piston:</u>

P_i=\frac{m_p.g}{\pi.d^2\div 4}

P_i=\frac{15\times 9.8}{\pi\times (0.24^2\div 4)}

P_i=3249.41\ Pa

<em>Which is gauge pressure because it is measured with respect to the atmospheric pressure.</em>

(B)

Given:

  • Final temperature, T_f=18+273=291\ K

<u>Now, volume of air initially in the cylinder:</u>

V_i=\pi.d.h_i

V_i=\pi\times 0.24\times 0.9

V_i=0.6786\ m^3

Using gas law:

\frac{P_i V_i}{T_i}= \frac{P_f V_f}{T_f} ........................................(1)

<em>∵In every condition of equilibrium the gas pressure will be balanced by the weight of the piston so it is an </em><em>isobaric transition</em><em>.</em>

∴P_i=P_f

<u>Hence eq. (1) is reduced to:</u>

\frac{V_i}{T_i}= \frac{V_f}{T_f}

putting respective values:

\frac{0.6786}{588}= \frac{V_f}{291}

V_f=0.3358\ m

How many electrons would it take to equal the mass of a proton? Use two significant figures.
mezya [45]
<span>How many electrons would it take to equal the mass of a proton:
Here's one way of finding the value of it:
=> number of electrons is equivalent to 1 proton.
Let's have an example.
1.6726*10 -24g
_______________
     1 proton
______________
9.109*10- ^28g
_______________
1 electron

Based on the given example above, the electrons is 1 839 per 1 proton.
It's about 1800 electrons/proton.</span>

How much Power is needed to lift a 200 N block
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

10 W

Explanation:

P = F x v

F = 200N

v = x2 - x1 / t

  = 6 - 3 / 60

  = 3 / 60

  = 1 / 20

  = 0.05 m/s

P = 200 x 1/20

  = 10 W

Calculate the fraction of methyl isonitrile molecules that have an energy of 160.0 kJ or greater at 510 K .
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}

Explanation:

E_a = Activation energy = 160 kJ

T = Temperature = 510 K

R = Universal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

The fraction of energy is given by

f=e^{-\dfrac{E_a}{RT}}\\\Rightarrow f=e^{-\dfrac{160000}{8.314\times 510}}\\\Rightarrow f=4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}

The fraction of energy is 4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}
