During a lunar eclipse, the Moon turns red because the only sunlight reaching the Moon passes through Earth's atmosphere. The more dust or clouds in Earth's atmosphere during the eclipse, the redder the Moon will appear.

A sample of 4.50 g of methane occupies 12.7 dm3 at 310 K. (a) Calculate the work done when the gas expands isothermally against

valkas [14]

Answer:

(A) Work done will be 87.992 KJ

(B) Work done will be 167.4 KJ

Explanation:

We have given mass of methane m = 4.5 gram = 0.0045 kg

Volume occupies $V_1=12.7dm^3=12.7liters$

And volume is increased by $3.3dm^3$ so $V_2=12.7+3.3=16liters$

Temperature T = 310 K

Pressure is given as 200 Torr = 26664.5 Pa

(a) At constant pressure work done is given by

$W=P(V_2-V_1)=26664.5\times (16-12.7)=87992.85J=87.992kj$

(b) At reversible process work done is given by $W=nRTln\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

We have given mass = 4.5 gram

Molar mass of methane = 16

So number of moles $n=\frac{mass\ in\ gram}{mol;ar\ mass}=\frac{4.5}{16}=0.28125$

So work done $W=0.28125\times 8.314\times 310ln\frac{16}{12.7}=167.4J$

Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range R = 9880 yards . Find its range in miles. Use the facts that 1mile=5280ft

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

If you do it in steps

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd = 29640 ft

R = 29640 ft / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi
