A chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high-pressure gas reaction vessel. The vessel is

a stainless-steel cylinder that measures 27.0cm wide and 32.4cm high. The maximum safe pressure inside the vessel has been measured to be 3.10MPa. For a certain reaction the vessel may contain up to 0.218kg of carbon monoxide gas. Calculate the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction. Write your answer in degrees Celsius. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer:

the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction is 616 °C  

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

First we calculate the Volume of the steel cylinder;

V = πr²h

radius r = Diameter / 2 = 27 cm / 2 = 13.5 cm

height h = 32.4 cm

so we substitute

V = π × ( 13.5 cm )² × 32.4 cm

V  = π × 182.25 cm × 32.4 cm

V = 18550.79 cm³  

V = 18.551 L

given that; maximum safe pressure P = 3.10 MPa = 30.5946 atm

vessel contains 0.218kg or 218 gram of carbon monoxide gas

molar mass of carbon monoxide gas is 28.010 g/mol

so

moles of carbon monoxide gas n = 218 gram /  28.010 g/mol = 7.7829 mol

we know that;

PV = nRT

solve for T

T = PV / nR

we know that gas constant R = 0.0820574 L•atm•mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

so we substitute

T = ( 30.5946 × 18.551 ) / ( 7.7829 × 0.082 )

T = 567.5604 / 0.6381978

T = 889.317387 K

T = ( 889.317387 - 273.15 ) °C

T = 616.167 ≈ 616 °C  { 3 significant digits }

Therefore, the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction is 616 °C

CHEM HELP!
sweet [91]

So let's convert this amount of mL to grams:

\frac{13.6g}{1mL}*1.2mL=16.32g

Then we need to convert to moles using the molar weight found on the periodic table for mercury (Hg):

\frac{1mole}{200.59g}*16.32g=8.135*10^{-2}mol

Then we need to convert moles to atoms using Avogadro's number:

\frac{6.022*10^{23}atoms}{1mole} *[8.135*10^{-2}mol]=4.90*10^{22}atoms

So now we know that in 1.2 mL of liquid mercury, there are 4.90*10^{22}atoms present.

What do chemical compounds want to obey?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Their atoms obey the octet rule

Explanation:

Chemical compounds are formed when atoms combine with one another in order to comply with the octet rule. The octet configuration gives an atom stability in electronic structure.

  • When atoms become isoelectronic with noble gases, it confers a special stability on them.
  • Therefore, to attain this state, they gain or lose electron or share their electrons with other species.

What directly influences deep water currents
fenix001 [56]
Ocean currents can be generated by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes.

There are two distinct current systems in the ocean—surface circulation, which stirs a relatively thin upper layer of the sea, and deep circulation, which sweeps along the deep-sea floor.
Currents are cohesive streams of seawater that circulate through the ocean. Some are short-lived and small, while others are vast flows that take centuries to complete a circuit of the globe. There are two distinct current systems in the ocean—surface circulation, which stirs a relatively thin upper layer of the sea, and deep circulation, which sweeps along the deep-sea floor.

Did You Know?

Each time a submersible goes down on an ocean exploration expedition, currents are an important consideration. If a submersible is tethered, such as a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), the current will tug at the ROV and the entire length of the tether. An autonomous submersible is not tethered, but may be forced by currents into a position from which it cannot free itself with relatively weak thrusters, endangering lives as well as equipment. Additionally, the surface currents may be very different than currents at depth, which can make launching and recovering submersibles an even greater challenge.

Surface currents are generated largely by wind. Their patterns are determined by wind direction, Coriolis forces from the Earth’s rotation, and the position of landforms that interact with the currents. Surface wind-driven currents generate upwelling currents in conjunction with landforms, creating deepwater currents.

Currents may also be generated by density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations. These currents move water masses through the deep ocean—taking nutrients, oxygen, and heat with them.

Occasional events also trigger serious currents. Huge storms move water masses. Underwater earthquakes may trigger devastating tsunamis. Both move masses of water inland when they reach shallow water and coastlines. Earthquakes may also trigger rapid downslope movement of water-saturated sediments, creating turbidity currents strong enough to snap submarine communication cables.

Bottom currents scour and sort sediments, thus affecting what kind of bottom develops in an area—hard or soft, fine grained or coarse. Bottom substrate (material) determines what kinds of communities may develop in an area.

Finally, when a current that is moving over a broad area is forced into a confined space, it may become very strong. On the ocean floor, water masses forced through narrow openings in a ridge system or flowing around a seamount may create currents that are far greater than in the surrounding water—affecting the distribution and abundance of organisms as well as the scientists and their equipment seeking to study them.
