Lithium fluoride is a solid at room temperature because it is a salt that is held together by ionic bonds. Lithium. fluoride has a giant ionic structure.

Pressure gauge at the top of a vertical oil well registers 140 bars. The oil well is 6000 m deep and filled with natural gas dow
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

(a)  The given data is as follows.

              Pressure on top (P_{o}) = 140 bar = 1.4 \times 10^{7} Pa       (as 1 bar = 10^{5})

              Temperature = 15^{o}C = (15 + 273) K = 288 K

         Density of gas = \frac{PM}{ZRT}

                \frac{dP}{dZ} = \rho \times g

               \frac{dP}{dZ} = \int \frac{PM}{ZRT}

                \int_{P_{o}}^{P_{1}} \frac{dP}{dZ} = \frac{Mg}{ZRT} \int_{0}^{4700} dZ

           ln (\frac{P_{1}}{P_{o}}) = \frac{18.9 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.81 \times 4700 m}{0.80 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 288 K}

                              = 0.4548

                     P_{1} = P_{o} \times e^{0.4548}

                                 = 1.4 \times 10^{7} Pa \times 1.5797

                                 = 2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa

Hence, pressure at the natural gas-oil interface is 2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa.

(b)   At the bottom of the tank,

                 P_{2} = P_{1}  + \rho \times g \times h

                             = 2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa + 700 \times 9.81 \times (6000 - 4700)[/tex]

                             = 309.8 \times 10^{5} Pa

                             = 309.8 bar

Hence, at the bottom of the well at 15^{o}C pressure is 309.8 bar.

. In which reaction is nitric acid acting as an oxidising agent?
Talja [164]

Answer:

B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we should understand oxidizing agents as those substances able to increase the oxidation state of another substance, therefore, in B. reaction we notice that copper oxidation state at the beginning is zero (no bonds are formed) and once it reacts with nitric acid, its oxidation states raises to +2 in copper (II) nitrate, thus, in B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2 nitritc acid is acting as the oxidizing agent.

Moreover, in the other reactions, copper (A.), sodium (C. and D.) remain with the same initial oxidation state, +2 and +1 respectively.

Regards.

A generic weak acid with formula HA has a Ka = 2.76 x 10-8. Calculate the Kb for the conjugate base of the acid.
Reika [66]

Answer:

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

Explanation:

The acid equilibrium of a weak acid, HX, is:

HX + H₂O ⇄ X⁻ + H₃O⁺

Where Ka = [X⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HX]

And basic equilibrium of the conjugate base, is:

X⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HX

Where Kb = [OH⁻] [HX] / [X⁻]

To convert Ka to Kb we must use water equilibrium:

2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

Where Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]

Thus, we can obtain:

Kw = Ka*Kb

Solving for Kb:

Kw / Ka = Kb

1x10⁻¹⁴ /  2.76x10⁻⁸ =

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb
