Two tons of water is pumped into a tank 15 ft. High in 5 minutes. Determine the power output of the pump. (Note: One ton is equa

l to 2,000 lb. And remember to convert the minutes to seconds.)

Answer:

200 lb•ft/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 2 tons

Time (t) = 5 mins

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

Next, we shall convert 2 tons to pound. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ton = 2000 lb

Therefore,

2 tons = 2 × 2000

2 tons = 4000 lb

Next, we shall convert 5 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 s

Therefore,

5 mins = 5 × 60

5 mins = 300 s

Finally, we shall determine the power of the pump. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 4000 lb

Time (t) = 300 s

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

P = F × h / t

P = 4000 × 15 / 300

P = 60000 / 300

P = 200 lb•ft/s

Thus, the power of the pump is 200 lb•ft/s

(a) ions in a certain volume of .20M NaCl (aq) are represented in the box above on the left. in the box above on the right, draw

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The first picture attached is the diagram that accompanies the question.

The<u> second picture attached</u> is the diagram with the answer.

Explanation:

In the box on the left there are 8 Cl⁻ ions and 8 Na⁺ ions.

The dissociaton equation for NaCl(aq) is:

NaCl (aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

The dissociation equation for CaCl₂ (aq) is:

CaCl₂ (aq) → Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

A 0.10MCaCl₂ (aq) solution will have half the number of CaCl₂ units as the number of NaCl units in a 0.20M NaCl (aq) solution.

Thus, while the 0.20M NaCl (aq) solution yields 8 ions of Na⁺ and 8 ions of Cl⁻, the 0.10MCaCl₂ (aq) solution will yield 4 ions of Ca²⁺ (half because the concentration if half) and 8 ions of Cl⁻ (first take half and then multiply by 2 because the dissociation reaction).

Thus, your drawing must show 4 dots representing Ca²⁺ ions and 8 dots representing Cl⁻ ions in the box on the right.

An equilibrium mixture of PCl5(g), PCl3(g), and Cl2(g) has partial pressures of 217.0 Torr, 13.2 Torr, and 13.2 Torr, respective

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished:

$PCl_3,p_1'=6.798 Torr$

$Cl_2,p_2'=26.398 Torr$

$PCl_5,p_3'=223.402 Torr$

Explanation:

$PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

At equilibrium before adding chlorine gas:

Partial pressure of the $PCl_3=p_1=13.2 Torr$

Partial pressure of the $Cl_2=p_2=13.2 Torr$

Partial pressure of the $PCl_5=p_3=217.0 Torr$

The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :

$K_p=\frac{p_1}{p_1\times p_2}$

$=\frac{217.0 Torr}{13.2 Torr\times 13.2 Torr}=1.245$

At equilibrium after adding chlorine gas:

Partial pressure of the $PCl_3=p_1'=13.2 Torr$

Partial pressure of the $Cl_2=p_2'=?$

Partial pressure of the $PCl_5=p_3'=217.0 Torr$

Total pressure of the system = P = 263.0 Torr

$P=p_1'+p_2'+p_3'$

$263.0Torr=13.2 Torr+p_2'+217.0 Torr$

$p_2'=32.8 Torr$

$PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

At initail

(13.2) Torr (32.8) Torr (13.2) Torr

At equilbriumm

(13.2-x) Torr (32.8-x) Torr (217.0+x) Torr

$K_p=\frac{p_3'}{p_1'\times p_2'}$

$1.245=\frac{(217.0+x)}{(13.2-x)(32.8-x)}$

Solving for x;

x = 6.402 Torr

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished:

$p_1'=(13.2-x) Torr=(13.2-6.402) Torr=6.798 Torr$

$p_2'=(32.8-x) Torr=(32.8-6.402) Torr=26.398 Torr$

$p_3'=(217.0+x) Torr=(217+6.402) Torr=223.402 Torr$

Rank the following elements in order of decreasing atomic radius (1 is biggest, 5 is smallest)

AlexFokin [52]

There are various kind of elements that are present in periodic table. Some elements are harmful, some are radioactive, some are noble gases. The atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

<h3>What is periodic table?</h3>

Periodic table is a table in which we find elements with properties like metals, non metals, metalloids and radioactive element arranges in increasing atomic number.

Along the period, the size of elements decreases. Down the group the size of elements increases. The atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

Therefore, atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

Suppose you need of Grade 70 tow chain, which has a diameter of and weighs , to tow a car. How would you calculate the mass of t

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: check explanation

Explanation:

In this question we are to find mass. In order to calculate the Mass, We need the values of two parameters, that is, the values given for the grade tow chain, and the value given for the mass per length.

Assuming the mass per length is 3 Kilogram per metre(kg/m) and the grade 70 tow chain length is 5 metre(m).

Therefore, the formula for calculating mass of the chain is given below;

Mass of the chain= mass per unit length(kg/m) × length ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Mass of the chain= 3 kg/m × 5 m.

Mass of the chain= 15 kg.
