Answer:

the final pressure is P=353.5 kPa and the heat lost by the system (heat transferred) is Q= -3614.7327 kJ ( negative sign means heat outflow)

Explanation:

since the steam is at saturated state at 1500 kPa , from tables of saturated steam  

at P= 1500 kPa → specific volume v= 0.13225 m³/kg , ug=2593.3 kJ/kg

thus

m = V/v = 0.25 m³ / 0.13225 m³/kg = 1.89 kg

for condensation until 25% of steam, then mass of steam is

mg₂ = 0.25* 1.89 kg = 0.4725 kg

if we neglect the volume occupied by the liquid , then the steam occupies

v₂ = V/m = 0.25 m³ / 0.4725 kg =0.529 m³/kg

returning to the saturated steam table

at v₂=0.529 m³/kg →  353.5 kPa , uL₂= 584.1585 kJ/kg , ug₂= 2548.4965 kJ/kg

then from the first law of thermodynamics

ΔU= Q - W , but since V=constant , dV=0 and W=∫PdV =0

Q= ΔU

Q= (mg₂*ug₂+ml₂*uL₂) - (m*ug) = 1.89 kg* (0.25*2548.4965 kJ/kg + 0.75*584.1585 kJ/kg - 2593.3 kJ/kg) = -3614.7327 kJ

The picture on the left represents the reactants in the equation and the picture on the right represents the products. Does this
V125BC [204]
The answer is , n<span>o, because there are not the same number of molecules in the product side as in the reactant side. 

The law of conservation of matter says that the system remains the same throughout. The number of atoms, mass and energy must stay constant. If you look at your figure there are more white atoms on the left side than the right, this means that there was a loss and this should not be the case.

Why is saturn still giving off extra energy?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
There is not a "for sure" answer yet, but scientist thinks that it might be due to Saturn's cloud cover, if the cloud cover fluctuated, then Saturn would scatter infrared light differently, giving off more energy than it needs to.

List the elements of the APA's definition of a psychological disorder. (
Elina [12.6K]

What exactly is a psychological disorder? How is a psychological disorder diagnosed? Defining exactly what constitutes a mental disorder can be tricky and, definitions have changed over time.

The first problem is that psychologists must first decide exactly how to define disorder. How do you determine if there is something psychologically wrong or unhealthy about a person? How do you decide what's normal and what's abnormal?

If you were to define disorder as something that lies outside of the statistical norm, then people who are considered exceptionally talented or gifted in a particular area would be regarded as abnormal. So rather than focus on actions that are considered outside of the normal statistically speaking, psychologists tend to concentrate on the results of those behaviors. Behaviors that are considered maladaptive and cause significant personal distress and interrupt daily functioning are more likely to be labeled as abnormal.

Today many psychologists agree that psychological disorders are characterized by both personal distress and impairment in multiple areas of life.
