Answer:

Both Technician A and B are correct

Explanation:

Methanol is used in internal combustion engines. However, the use of methanol in internal combustion engines has decreased lately even though it was thought to lead to cleaner emissions than gasoline. Methanol internal combustion engines produce formaldehyde which is also an environmental pollutant. Also, the cost of methanol is slightly higher than that of good quality gasoline.

MTBE replaced tetraethyllead as a gasoline additive because the former lead to the emission of particulate lead from automobile exhausts which is a serious environmental pollutant. The use of MTBE has declined over the years due to environmental concerns. It has been banned because it has been found to be a significant groundwater pollutant if gasoline containing MTBE is spilled or leaked at gas stations.

Lena [83]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

We know that ions are present in hydrogen-air flame and when the burning of an organic compound takes place in this flame more ions are produced in the flame.  

Thus when we apply a voltage across this flame, the ion collector plate attracts the all the ions in the flame.

The presence of organic compounds increases the voltage across the hydrogen ion flame produced at the ion collector increases and as the voltage increases, the detection of the organic compound can be made in turn.

Thus flame ionization detector clearly responds to the variation in the collection of ions or electrons in a flame.

katrin [286]

Answer:

a. 9947 m

b. 99476 times

c. 2*10^11 molecules

Explanation:

a) To find the mean free path of the air molecules you use the following formula:

\lambda=\frac{RT}{\sqrt{2}\pi d^2N_AP}

R: ideal gas constant = 8.3144 Pam^3/mol K

P: pressure = 1.5*10^{-6} Pa

T: temperature = 300K

N_A: Avogadros' constant = 2.022*10^{23}molecules/mol

d: diameter of the particle = 0.25nm=0.25*10^-9m

By replacing all these values you obtain:

\lambda=\frac{(8.3144 Pa m^3/mol K)(300K)}{\sqrt{2}\pi (0.25*10^{-9}m)^2(6.02*10^{23})(1.5*10^{-6}Pa)}=9947.62m

b) If we assume that the molecule, at the average, is at the center of the chamber, the times the molecule will collide is:

n_{collision}=\frac{9947.62m}{0.05m}\approx198952\  times

c) By using the equation of the ideal gases you obtain:

PV=NRT\\\\N=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(1.5*10^{-6}Pa)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05m)^3)}{(8.3144Pa\ m^3/mol\ K)(300K)}=3.14*10^{-13}mol\\\\n=(3.14*10^{-13})(6.02*10^{23})\ molecules\approx2*10^{11}\ molecules

(Practice work, not graded)
luda_lava [24]

Answer: ALL CAREFULLY ANSWERED CORRECTLY.

Explanation:

1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM

✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread

✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread

✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.

2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.

3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.

4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.

5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul

~Never ceases to leave us in amazement

~And we are in love
