Answer:
A liquid, at any temperature, is in equilibrium with its own steam. This means that on the surface of the liquid or solid substance, there are gaseous molecules of this substance. These molecules exert a pressure on the liquid phase, a pressure known as vapor pressure.
In chemistry, when we talk about dry basis, we talk about a state in which the presence of water in a gaseous state is denied for the calculation. So vapor pressure equals zero.
When we talk about the wet basis, the presence of water in the steam is considered for the calculation, which normally is expressed as a percentage or moisture.
In summary, for a gas mixture steam:
- For dry basis, we just have <em>component A, component B....</em>
- For wet basis, we have <em>water vapor, component A, component B...</em>
So, in wet basis we have an extra component (water).
Assuming we only have 2 components in our steam, and being X the molar fraction of eact component:
- For dry basis: Xa + Xb = 1................................. Xa = 1 - Xb
- For wet basis: Xa + Xb + Xwater = 1 .............Xa = 1 - Xwater - Xb
For dry basis the mole fraction of A it is obtained by subtracting the molar fraction of B from one. And for wet basis, we have to substract the molar fraction of B <u>AND </u>the molar fraction of water vapor. So, logically, the mole fraction Xa will be less for wet basis.
Answer:
white
Explanation:
If only blue light is shone onto a red shirt, the shirt would appear black, because the blue would be absorbed and there would be no red light to be reflected. White objects appear white because they reflect all colors. Black objects absorb all colors so no light is reflected.
Answer:
A. Clear and Sunny
Explanation:
The answer would be A. Clear and Sunny. A high pressure system occurs where the air mass above the Earth is denser than in surrounding areas, and therefore exerts a higher force or pressure. They usually happen with li9ght winds. Using process of elimination, it could not be D. Warm and Stormy, C. Cloudy and Rainy, or B. Cold and Stormy because all have wet climates.
<span>In order for us to see an object that is non-luminous, it must reflect some of the light it receives from a luminous source, such as the Sun. Most of the objects we see, such as cars, clouds or even the Moon, are not luminous; it is just that they reflect sunlight</span>
