Question:

Diffusion is the movement of particles from high to low concentration. True or False

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Diffusion is a process that allows the movement of substance or particles in and out of cells through a semipermeable membrane.

Diffusion is a process that allows the spread or movement of particles from the region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Diffusion only occurs in gases and solution but not in solids, it also occurs only where particles can move freely.

Note: When particles move from the region of higher concentration to a lower concentration, it gives room for even, uniform and random distribution of particles.

5. A stream of air at 12 bar and 900 K is mixed with another stream of air at 2 bar and 400 K with 2 times the mass flowrate. If

Softa [21]

Answer:

The anserrs to the question are

(a) The temperature would be 566.67 K and

(b) The pressure of the resulting air stream is 14 bar

Explanation:

Here the two streams of gases meet ad form a single stream

The steady-flow energy equation can be implemented at the mixing point of the to streams as follows

mₐhₐ₁ + mₙ hₙ₁ + Q° + W° = mₐhₐ₂ + mₙhₙ₂

Where the flow is adiabatic, we have

Q = 0 and W = 0 hence

mₐhₐ₁ + mₙ hₙ₁ = mₐhₐ₂ + mₙhₙ₂ where h = cp×T we have

mₐcpₐ×Tₐ + mₙcpₙ×Tₙ = mₐcpₐ×T + mₐcpₙ×T

Therefore the final temperature T is given by

$T = \frac{m_ac_{pa}T_a + m_nc_{pn}T_n}{m_ac_{pa} + m_nc_{pn}}$ for the same kind of gas cpₐ =cpₙ therefore

$T = \frac{m_aT_a + m_nT_n}{m_a + m_n}$ where mₐ and mₙ are mass flow rate

Therefore we have where Tₐ = = 900 K and Tₙ = 400 K and mₙ = 2mₐ gives

$T = \frac{m_a*900 + 2*m_a*400}{m_a + 2*m_a}$ = $T = \frac{900 + 800}{1 + 2}$ = 1700/3 = 566.67 K

From Dalton's law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the components of the mixture

Therefore the total pressure of the combined stream = pₐ + pₙ = p

= 12 bar + 2 bar = 14 bar

Stream pressure = 14 bar

How to do the equation p1v1 = p2v2 as an equation layed out like:

KonstantinChe [14]

P1 and P2 are the pressures, and V1 and V2 are the volumes. So you take the first pressure and volume you are given and place them into the equation P1V1 so the first part of the equation would be 101000*0.5 = P2V2. You then rearrange the equation to find what you want, in this instance you would do 50500/0.25 = P2... therefore P2 = 2020000Pa or 2.02*10^6Pa

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a gravitational force of 12 units. If the mass of Object 2 is tripled, then the new grav

olasank [31]

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D².

G is the gravitational constant, which has the same value throughout our universe.

D is the distance between the objects.

so, if you triple one of the masses, what does that do to our equation ?

Fgravitynew = G*(3*mass1*mass2)/D²

due to the commutative property of multiplication

Fgravitynew = 3* G*(mass1*mass2)/D² = 3* Fgravity

so, the right answer is 3×12 = 36 units.

Which court case provided for Judicial Review?

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The best-known power of the Supreme Court is judicial review, or the ability of the Court to declare a Legislative or Executive act in violation of the Constitution, is not found within the text of the Constitution itself. The Court established this doctrine in the case of Marbury v. Madison (1803).

1. When does raising the temperature of a gas increase its pressure? when volume is increased and the number of particles is con

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

when volume and the number of particles are constant

Explanation:

Gay Lussac law states that when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Gay Lussac's law is given by;

$PT = K$

$\frac{P1}{T1} = \frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}$

The ideal gas law is the equation PV = nRT

Where;

P is the pressure.

V is the volume.

n is the number of moles of substance.

R is the ideal gas constant.

T is the temperature.

Generally, raising the temperature of an ideal gas would increase its pressure when volume and the number of particles are constant.

This ultimately implies that, when volume and the number of particles are held constant, there would be a linear relationship between the temperature and pressure of a gas i.e temperature would be directly proportional to the pressure of the gas. Thus, an increase in the temperature of the gas would cause an increase in the pressure of the gas at constant volume and number of particles.
