The amount of energy required to heat water for a 10-minute shower (50 gallons) is 2.2125 kJ. How many calories is this?

1 answer:

6 0

From the problem statement, this is a conversion problem. We are asked to convert from units of kilojoules to units of calories. To do this, we need a conversion factor which would relate the different units involved. We either multiply or divide this certain value to the original measurement depending on what is asked. From literature, we will find that 1 kilojoule is equal to 239 calories. We do as follows:

2.2125 kJ ( 239 calories / 1 kJ ) = 528.79 calories

By what factor would a scuba diver’s lungs expand if she ascended rapidly to the surface from a depth of 125 ft without inhaling

vova2212 [387]

It is found that scuba diver’s can safely ascend up to 52.53 ft without Breathing out.

By what factor would a scuba diver’s lungs expand if she ascended rapidly to the surface from a depth of 125 ft without inhaling or exhaling then

$p_{1}$ =patm+ $pH_{2} O$

$p_{1}$ = 101325+ρ $gh_{1}$

It is given that height is 125ft. Put the value of h in above formula:

h1 =125ft=38.1m

ρ=1.04g/mL=1040kg/ $m^{3}$

g=9.81

$p_{1}$ =101325Pa+388711.44

$p_{1}$ =490036.44‬Pa

$p_{2}$ =p atm =101325Pa

It is known that volume and pressure can be expressed as:

V*P=const.

where, V is volume and P is pressure.

Now,

$V_{1} *p_{1}$ = $V_{2} *p_{2}$

$V_{2} /V_{1}$ = $p_{2} /p_{1}$

$V_{2} /V_{1}$ =490036.44/101325

$V_{2} /V_{1}$ =4.84

Assume constant temperature

d of seawater = 1.04 g/mL; d of Hg = 13.5 g/mL.

now $p_{1}$ =p atm+ $pH_{2} O$ =490036.44Pa

V*p=const

where, V is volume and P is pressure.

Now,

$V_{1} *p_{1}$ = $V_{2} *p_{2}$

$V_{2} /V_{1}$ = $p_{2} /p_{1}$

$V_{2} /V_{1}$ =490036.44/X

$p_{2}$ =490036.44pa/(V2/V1) =326690.96Pa

$p_{2}$ =patm +p $H_{2} O$

$p_{2}$ =101325Pa+ρ $gh_{2}$

326690.96Pa=101325Pa+ρ $gh_{2}$

ρgh1 =151987.5-101325=225365.96‬‬Pa

ρ=1,04g/mL=1040kg/m3

g=9.81

$h_{2}$ =225365.96/‬ρ∗g

$h_{2}$ =225365.96 / ‬1040∗9.81

$h_{2}$ =22.09m= 72.47ft

ΔH= $H_{1} -H_{2}$

=125-72.47

=52.53ft

So she can safely ascend up to 52.53 ft without Breathing out

2. As NH4OH is added to an HCl solution, the pH of the solution

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Nh4OH + HCL ---> NH4Cl + H3O

so ph decreases as H3O increases

and OH also decreases

Use the collision theory to explain how increasing the surface area of a solute will increase the rate of the dissolving process

Maksim231197 [3]

More surface area --> more molecules of the solute in contact with the solvent --> more chance for a solvent molecule to collide with the solute molecules --> dissolves faster
