The fraction of Earth's radius (6371 km) relative to the thickness of the oceanic (7.5 km) and continental crust (35 km) is 0.12 and 0.55, respectively.    

What we know:

  • The average radius of Earth (E) = 6371 km
  • The average thickness of oceanic crust (O) = 7.5 km
  • The average thickness of continental crust (C) = 35 km

We need to convert all the above units from kilometers to miles:

E = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*6371 km = 3958.9 mi

O = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*7.5 km = 4.7 mi

C = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*35 km = 21.7 mi

Now, we can calculate the fraction of Earth's radius relative to each type of crust, with the given equation:

X = \frac{avg. \: thickness}{avg. \: radius} \times 100

  • <u>For the oceanic crust (O)</u>:

X = \frac{4.7 mi}{3958.9 mi}\times 100 = 0.12

  • <u>For the continental crust (C)</u>:

X = \frac{21.7 mi}{3958.9 mi}\times 100 = 0.55

Therefore, the fraction of Earth's radius relative to the oceanic and continental crust is 0.12 and 0.55, respectively.

Olympic cyclists fill their tires with helium to make them lighter. Assume that the volume of the tire is 860 mL , that it is fi
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a)  the mass of air = 8.24 grams

b) the mass of helium = 1.14 grams

c) the mass difference = 7.10 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the tire = 860 mL

Total pressure = 120 psi

Temperature = 26°C

molar mass of air = 28.8 g/mol

Step 2:  Convert psi to atm

(

120 psi) (1 atm / 14.7 psi) = 8.163

Step 4: Calculate moles

PV = nRT

 ⇒ with P = the pressure = 8.163 atm

⇒ with V = the volume = 860 mL = 0.860 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the universal gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 26 °C = 299 Kelvin

n = (8163*0.860)/(0.08206*299)

n = 0.2861 moles of gas

Step 5: Calculate the mass of air in an air-filled tire.

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = (0.2861 moles of gas) (28.8 g/mol)  

Mass = 8.24 grams

Step 6: Calculate the mass of helium in a helium- filled tire.

mass of helium = 0.2861 moles of gas * 4 g/mol)  

mass of helium  = 1.14 grams

Step 7: What is the mass difference between the two?

Δmass=  8.24 grams -  1.14 grams

Δmass= 7.10 grams

You are requested to reduce the size of 50 ton/hr of a given solid. The size of the feed is such 80% passes a 4-in (76.2 mm) scr
defon

Answer:

1) The power needed to process 50 ton/hr is 135.4 HP.

2) The void fraction of the bed is 0.37.

Explanation:

1) For this type of milling operations, we can estimate the power needed for an operation according to the work index (Ei), the passing size of the circuit feed (F80) and the passing size of the product (P80).

We assume the units of Ei are kWh/t.

The equation that relates this parameters and the power is (size of particles in μm):

W=Ei*(\frac{10}{\sqrt{P80}} -\frac{10}{\sqrt{F80}} )\\\\W=9.45*(\frac{10}{\sqrt{3175\mu m}} -\frac{10}{\sqrt{76200mm}} )\\\\\\W=9.45*(0.1774+0.0362)=2.019 kWh/t

The power needed to process 50 ton/hor is

P=2.0194\frac{kWh}{Ton}*\frac{50Ton}{h}*\frac{1.341HP}{1kW}=   135.4 \, HP

2) The density of the packed bed can be expressed as

\rho=f_v*\rho_v+f_s*\rho_s

being f the fraction and ρ the density of every fraction. We know that the density of the void is 0 (ρv=0) and that fv=1-fs (the sum  of the fractions ois equal to the total space).

Then we can rearrange

\rho=f_v*\rho_v+f_s*\rho_s\\\\\rho=f_v*0+(1-f_v)*\rho_s\\\\\rho/\rho_s=1-f_v\\\\f_v=1-\rho/\rho_s=1-990/1570=1-0.63=0.37

The void fraction of the bed is 0.37.

Calcula la cantidad de gramos que hay en 12,5 mol de NaCl (Masa Na: 23,0; Cl: 35,5).
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

731.25 g

Explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the mass of 12.5 moles of NaCl. The individual relative atomic masses of the elements were supplied. We must first obtain the molar mass of sodium chloride as follows;

Molar mass of sodium chloride= 23.0 + 35.5 = 58.5 gmol-1

From the formula;

Number of moles (n) = mass /molar mass

Number of moles of sodium chloride= 12.5 moles

Mass of sodium = The unknown

Molar mass of sodium chloride= 58.5gmol-1

Mass of sodium chloride= number of moles × molar mass

Mass of sodium chloride= 12.5 × 58.5

Mass of sodium chloride= 731.25 g
