Answer:

1. A

2. B

3. B

4. A

5. B

Explanation:

1. Recommended. That way cross-contamination is prevented.

2. Not recommended. The inner mechanism of the micropipette should not come in contact with any liquid whatsoever.

3. Not recommended. It contradicts statement 1.

4. Recommended. That way the micropipette remains completely vertical, minimizing the risks of being decalibrated.

5. Not recommended. If it lays on the bench it will be horizontal, thus contradicting statement 4.

An ideal gas (C}R), flowing at 4 kmol/h, expands isothermally at 475 Kfrom 100 to 50 kPa through a rigid device. If the power pr

Zina [86]

Answer: The rate of heat flow is 3.038 kW and the rate of lost work is 1.038 kW.

Explanation:

We are given:

$C_p=\frac{7}{2}R\\\\T=475K\\P_1=100kPa\\P_2=50kPa$

Rate of flow of ideal gas , n = 4 kmol/hr = $\frac{4\times 1000mol}{3600s}=1.11mol/s$ (Conversion factors used: 1 kmol = 1000 mol; 1 hr = 3600 s)

Power produced = 2000 W = 2 kW (Conversion factor: 1 kW = 1000 W)

We know that:

$\Delta U=0$ (For isothermal process)

So, by applying first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U=\Delta q-\Delta W$

$\Delta q=\Delta W$ .......(1)

Now, calculating the work done for isothermal process, we use the equation:

$\Delta W=nRT\ln (\frac{P_1}{P_2})$

where,

$\Delta W$ = change in work done

n = number of moles = 1.11 mol/s

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature = 475 K

$P_1$ = initial pressure = 100 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure = 50 kPa

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta W=1.11mol/s\times 8.314J\times 475K\times \ln (\frac{100}{50})\\\\\Delta W=3038.45J/s=3.038kJ/s=3.038kW$

Calculating the heat flow, we use equation 1, we get:

[ex]\Delta q=3.038kW[/tex]

Now, calculating the rate of lost work, we use the equation:

$\text{Rate of lost work}=\Delta W-\text{Power produced}\\\\\text{Rate of lost work}=(3.038-2)kW\\\text{Rate of lost work}=1.038kW$

Hence, the rate of heat flow is 3.038 kW and the rate of lost work is 1.038 kW.

If excess ammonium sulfate reacts with 20.0g of calcium hydroxide how many grams of ammonia are produced

bagirrra123 [75]

The reaction between ammonium sulfate and calcium hydroxide is given below.
(NH₄)₂SO₄ + Ca(OH)₂ --> 2NH₃ + CaSO₄ + 2H₂O
From the balance equation, we can conclude that every 74 g of calcium sulfate reacted with enough amount of ammonium sulfate will yield 34 grams of ammonia. From the given amount,
(20 g calcium sulfate) x (34 grams ammonia / 74 g calcium sulfate)
= 9.19 g ammonia

What is the ionic charge for C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb?

Alecsey [184]

An atom of carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, which means that
its ionic charge is 4+ or 4-
Si is in same group as carbon so its also 4+ or 4-
Germanium is 4+.
Sn is also 2+ or 4+
Pb is usually +2

What is the molar mass of MnP

igomit [66]

The production of manganese peroxidase (MnP) by Irpex lacteus, purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by acetone precipitation, HiPrep Q and HiPrep Sephacryl S-200 chromatography, was shown to correlate with the decolorization of textile industry wastewater. The MnP was purified 11.0-fold, with an overall yield of 24.3%. The molecular mass of the native enzyme, as determined by gel filtration chromatography, was about 53 kDa. The enzyme was shown to have a molecular mass of 53.2 and 38.3 kDa on SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, respectively, and an isoelectric point of about 3.7. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 6.0 and between 30 and 40 degrees C. The enzyme efficiently catalyzed the decolorization of various artificial dyes and oxidized Mn (II) to Mn (III) in the presence of H(2)O(2). The absorption spectrum of the enzyme exhibited maxima at 407, 500, and 640 nm. The amino acid sequence of the three tryptic peptides was analyzed by ESI Q-TOF MS/MS spectrometry, and showed low similarity to those of the extracellular peroxidases of other white-rot basidiomycetes.
