When the Kelvin temperature of an enclosed gas doubles, the particles of the gas

A tank with volume of 2.4 cu ft is filled with Methane to a pressure of 1500 psia at 104 degrees F. Determine the molecular weig

Soloha48 [4]

Explanation:

It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.

PV = nRT

The given data is as follows.

Pressure, P = 1500 psia, Temperature, T = $104^{o}F$ = 104 + 460 = 564 R

Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft, R = 10.73 $psia ft^{3}/lb mol R$

Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.

n = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

m = $n \times W$

= $0.594 \times 16.04$

= 9.54 lb

Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.

We will calculate the density as follows.

d = $\frac{PM}{RT}$

= $\frac{1500 \times 16.04}{10.73 \times 564}$

= 3.975 $lb/ft^{3}$

Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.

Specific gravity relative to air = $\frac{\text{density of methane}}{\text{density of air}}$

= $\frac{3.975 lb/ft^{3}}{0.0765 lb/ft^{3}}$

= 51.96

A kernel of popcorn contains a small amount of water and when heated the popcorn pops. How can you explain this to someone

Aliun [14]

When you put a popcorn kernel in a microwave, the microwave heats up the water. The water then evaporates, and the air wants to escape. There will be so much pressure that the skin/shell of the kernel will break, exposing the corn.

Calcium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form solid calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. The balanced net ionic equation is

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

In chemistry, the net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction whereas you write only the ions that are involved in the reaction.

When calcium chloride, CaCl₂ reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce Ca(OH)₂ the only ions involved in the reaction are Ca²⁺ and OH⁻, thus, the balanced net ionic equation is:

<em>Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)</em>

<em>Cl⁻ and Na⁺ are not involved in the reaction and you don't have to write them.</em>

An order is given to administer methylprednisolone, an anti-inflammatory drug, by IV at a rate of 39 mg every 30 min. The IV bag

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The Flow rate = 0.0208 mL/min

Explanation:

Data provided:

Rate of dose = 39 mg every 30 min = (39/30) mg/min = 1.3 mg/min

also,

125mg of methylprednisolone is present in every 2 mL

thus,

concentration = (125/2) mg/mL = 62.5 mg/mL

Now,

The flow rate is given as:

Flow rate = Rate / Concentration

on substituting the respective values, we get

Flow rate = (1.3 mg/min) / (62.5mg/mL)

or

The Flow rate = 0.0208 mL/min

2. Matt went to his friend’s party. He ate a big meal and drank a keg of beer. He felt heartburn after the meal and took Tums to

evablogger [386]

Answer:

390.85mL

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Initial pressure (P1) = 780 torr

Initial volume (V1) = 400mL

Initial temperature (T1) = 40°C = 40°C + 273 = 313K

Final temperature (T2) = 25°C = 25°C + 273 = 298K

Final pressure (P2) = 1 atm = 760torr

Final volume (V2) =?

Step 2:

Determination of the final volume i.e the volume of the gas outside Matt's body.

The volume of the gas outside Matt's body can be obtained by using the general gas equation as shown below:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

780 x 400/313 = 760 x V2 /298

Cross multiply to express in linear form

313 x 760 x V2 = 780 x 400 x 298

Divide both side by 313 x 760

V2 = (780 x 400 x 298) /(313 x 760)

V2 = 390.85mL

Therefore, the volume of the gas outside Matt's body is 390.85mL
