Answer:

Entropy increases as temperature increases. An increase in temperature means that the particles of the substance have greater kinetic energy. The faster moving particles have more disorder than particles that are moving more slowly at a lower temperature.

An ideal gas (C}R), flowing at 4 kmol/h, expands isothermally at 475 Kfrom 100 to 50 kPa through a rigid device. If the power pr

Answer: The rate of heat flow is 3.038 kW and the rate of lost work is 1.038 kW.

Explanation:

We are given:

$C_p=\frac{7}{2}R\\\\T=475K\\P_1=100kPa\\P_2=50kPa$

Rate of flow of ideal gas , n = 4 kmol/hr = $\frac{4\times 1000mol}{3600s}=1.11mol/s$ (Conversion factors used: 1 kmol = 1000 mol; 1 hr = 3600 s)

Power produced = 2000 W = 2 kW (Conversion factor: 1 kW = 1000 W)

We know that:

$\Delta U=0$ (For isothermal process)

So, by applying first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U=\Delta q-\Delta W$

$\Delta q=\Delta W$ .......(1)

Now, calculating the work done for isothermal process, we use the equation:

$\Delta W=nRT\ln (\frac{P_1}{P_2})$

where,

$\Delta W$ = change in work done

n = number of moles = 1.11 mol/s

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature = 475 K

$P_1$ = initial pressure = 100 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure = 50 kPa

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta W=1.11mol/s\times 8.314J\times 475K\times \ln (\frac{100}{50})\\\\\Delta W=3038.45J/s=3.038kJ/s=3.038kW$

Calculating the heat flow, we use equation 1, we get:

[ex]\Delta q=3.038kW[/tex]

Now, calculating the rate of lost work, we use the equation:

$\text{Rate of lost work}=\Delta W-\text{Power produced}\\\\\text{Rate of lost work}=(3.038-2)kW\\\text{Rate of lost work}=1.038kW$

Hence, the rate of heat flow is 3.038 kW and the rate of lost work is 1.038 kW.

Answer : The time passed in years is $2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}$

Explanation :

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{5730\text{ years}}$

$k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 15.3

a - x = amount left after decay process = 14.8

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{15.3}{14.8}$

$t=274.64\text{ years}=2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}$

Therefore, the time passed in years is $2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}$

What is the ph of a 0.15 m solution of ammonium chloride?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Best Answer: (a)
8.9 x 10^-7 = x^2 / 0.15-x
x = [OH-] = 0.00037 M
pOH = 3.4
pH = 14 - 3.4 = 10.6

(b)
Ka = Kw/Kb = 5.6 x 10^-10 = x^2 / 0.20-x
x = [H+] = 0.000011 M
pH = 5.0
