Why is carbon monoxide especially dangerous?

mash [69]

Carbon monoxide reacts with hemoglobin of the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin. The absorption of oxygen worsens, oxygen starvation develops. At a lethal dose, death occurs within 20 days.

Assume the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm but the actual pressure is higher than 1 atm how will this error affect the calculated

ozzi

Answer : When we consider the atmospheric pressure as 1 atm then according to the ideal gas equation we can find out the molar mass of any unknown by this formula ;

PV=nRT

so if the pressure increases than 1 atm then we can see from the above equation that it will result in greater value for the number of moles (n) in the above equation.

While n = m/M where m is mass of the unknown in g and M is molecular mass.

So, if pressure is higher then it will result in molar mass of unknown which is much smaller.

Serga [27]

Yes because they atom with a stable octet electrons is less reactive it does not need any more electrons while an atom that has an partially filled electrons need more electrons to complete octet structure

In the manufacture of paper, logs are cut into small chips, which are stirred into an alkaline solution that dissolves several o

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The estimated feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.

Explanation:

The product of the process is 2000 tons/day of dry wood pulp, of 85 wt% of cellulose. That represents (2000*0.85)=1700 tons/day of cellulose.

That cellulose has to be feed by the wood chips, which had 47 wt% of cellulose in its composition. That means you need (1700/0.47)=3617 tons/day of wood chips to provide all that cellulose.

Th entering flow is wood chips with 45 wt% of water. This solution has an specific gravity of 0.640.

To know the specific gravity of the wood chips we have to write a volume balance. We also know that Mw=0.45*M and Mc=0.55*M.

$V=V_c+V_w\\\\M/\rho=M_c/\rho_c+Mw/\rho_w\\\\M/\rho=0.55*M/\rho_c+0.45*M/\rho_w\\\\1/\rho=0.55/\rho_c +0.45/\rho_w\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1/\rho-0.45/\rho_w\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1/(0.64*\rho_w)-0.45/\rho_w=(1/\rho_w)*(\frac{1}{0.64}-\frac{0.45}{1} )\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1.1125/\rho_w\\\\\rho_c=\frac{0.55}{1.1125}*\rho_w= 0.494*\rho_w$

The specific gravity of the wood chips is 0.494.

The average volume of a log is

$V_l=(\pi*D^{2} /4)*L=(3.1416*\frac{8^{2} \, in^{2} }{4} )*9ft*(\frac{12 in}{1ft})= 21714 in^{3}=12.57 ft^{3}$

The weight of one log is

$M=\rho*V=0.494*\rho_w*12.57 ft^{3}\\\\M=0.494*62.4\frac{lbm}{ft^{3} }*12.57ft^{3}\\\\M=387.5lbm$

To provide 3617 ton/day of wood chips, we need

$n=\frac{supply}{M_{log}}=\frac{3617 tons/day}{387.5 lbm}*\frac{2204lbm}{1ton}\\\\n=20573 logs/day=14.3 logs/min$

The feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.
