Answer:

D. There is no net change to the system

Explanation:

Equilibrium means "equal". In a chemical system, changes occur in substances called the reactants to produce another substance called the products. These changes from reactants to products and vice versa occur at an uneven rate until EQUILIBRIUM is reached.

In other words, equilibrium is attained when the reactants and products are formed at an equal or constant rate i.e. There is no net change to the system. For example, in the chemical system below:

A + B ⇌ C + D

This system is said to be at "EQUILIBRIUM" if the rate of reaction of the reactants (A and B) is equal to that of the products (C and D). That is, there is no net change (difference) in the reaction rate.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

second law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics deals with interconversion of energy from one form to another. Although energy can be converted from one form to another, this conversion is never 100% efficient because energy is lost in certain ways such as through heat. In a combustion engine, it is not possible to recover the energy from the gasoline 100% since energy must be lost along the way via such means as heat losses. Hence I will be skeptical about such an advert.

Your boss tells you that water at 68 F is flowing in a cooling tower loop at a rate of 600 gpm, in an 8-inch inside diameter pip

avanturin [10]

Explanation:

The volumetric flow rate of water will be as follows.

q = $600 gpm \times \frac{0.000063 m^{3} s^{-1}}{1 gpm}$

= 0.0378 $m^{3}/s
$

Diameter = $8 in \times \frac{0.0254 m}{1 in}$

= 0.2032 m

Relation between area and diameter is as follows.

A = $\frac{\pi}{4} \times D^{2}$

= $\frac{3.14}{4} \times (0.2032 m)^{2}$

= 0.785 x 0.2032 x 0.2032

= 0.0324 $m^{2}$

Also, q = A × V

or, V = $\frac{q}{A}$

= $\frac{0.0378 m^{3}/s}{0.0324 m^{2}}$

= 1.166 m/s

As, viscosity of water = 1 cP = $10^{-3}$ Pa-s

Density of water = 1000 $kg/m^{3}$

Therefore, we will calculate Reynolds number as follows.

Reynolds number = $\frac{D \times V \times density}{viscosity}$

= $\frac{0.2032 m \times 1.166 m/s \times 1000}{10^{-3}}$

= 236931.2

Hence, the flow will be turbulent in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the Reynolds number is 236931.2 and flow is turbulent.

How many electrons will a neon (Ne) atom have when it has no charge?

Darya [45]

Answer:

hope it helps you

Explanation:

Once one shell is full, the next electron that is added has to move to the next shell. So... for the element of NEON, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 10 electrons in a neon atom.
