S Problem Set<br> 2.) 6.4 x 109 nm to cm

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$6.4\cdot 10^2 cm$

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert from nanometres to metres, keeping in mind that

$1 nm = 10^{-9} m$

So we have:

$6.4\cdot 10^9 nm \cdot 10^{-9} m/nm = 6.4 m$

Now we can convert from metres to centimetres, keeping in mind that

$1 m = 10^2 cm$

So, we find:

$6.4 m \cdot 10^2 cm/m = 6.4\cdot 10^2 cm$

Some element can be either solid or liquid. At the melting point, the liquid has 8 × 10-22 J more enthalpy per atom than the sol

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

481.76 J/mol

133.33 K

Explanation:

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}$

Change in enthalpy is given by

$\Delta H=8\times 10^{-22}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=481.76\ J/mol$

Entropy is given by

$\Delta S=6\times 10^{-24}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow \Delta S=3.6132\ J/mol K$

Latent heat of fusion is given by

$L_f=\Delta H\\\Rightarrow L_f=481.76\ J/mol$

The latent heat of fusion is 481.76 J/mol

Melting point is given by

$T_m=\dfrac{L_f}{\Delta S}\\\Rightarrow T_m=\dfrac{8\times 10^{-22}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}{6\times 10^{-24}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\Rightarrow T_f=133.33\ K$

Melting occurs at 133.33 K

A particular cylindrical bucket has a height of 36.0 cm, and the radius of its circular cross-section is 15 cm. The bucket is em

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a. 0.000002 m

b. 0.00000182 m

Explanation:

36 cm = 0.36 m

15 cm = 0.15 m

a) We can start by calculating the air-water pressure of the bucket submerged 20m below the water surface:

$P = \ro g h = 1000 * 10 * 20 = 200000 Pa$

Suppose air is ideal gas, then if the temperature stays the same, the product of its pressure and volume stays the same

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Where P1 = 1.105 Pa is the atmospheric pressure, V_1 is the air volume in the bucket on the suface:

$V_1 = Ah$

As the pressure increases, the air inside the bucket shrinks. But the crossection area stays constant, so only h, the height of air, decreases:

$P_1Ah_1 = P_2Ah_2$

$h_2 = h_1\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 0.36\frac{1.105}{200000} = 0.000002 m$

b) If the temperatures changes, we can still reuse the ideal gas equation above:

$\frac{P_1Ah_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2Ah_2}{T_2}$

$h_2 = h_1\frac{P_1T_2}{P_2T_1} = 0.36\frac{1.105 * 275}{200000*300} =0.00000182 m$
