Divers who go to great depths in the ocean experience large differences in pressure between the surface and their final destinat

ions below the surface. At times, they have to avoid quick changes in pressure because of the effects on the solubility of nitrogen in their blood. If the solubility decreases quickly, then gas bubbles can form in the person’s blood, causing a dangerous condition called “the bends.”
In one or two sentences, state whether you would expect the condition to be a greater hazard for divers as they dive down or as they return to the surface. Then, explain your prediction in terms of the solubility of gases in liquids at different pressures.

Since solubility decreases rapidly as the diver returns to the surface, the risk of having “the bends” is greater as the diver returns to the surface.

The solubility of a gas refers to the amount of the gas that dissolves in a liquid. Solubility of a gas is dependent on pressure. The greater the pressure, the higher the solubility of the gas and vice versa.

Pressure increases with depth as a diver moves down the sea. More pressure is exerted, the deeper the diver goes. This means that solubility of nitrogen in blood increases at a greater depth.

As the diver returns to the surface, the pressure decreases rapidly and the solubility of nitrogen also decreases suddenly making the risk of “the bends” to be greater as the diver returns to the surface.

Compare rutherford's expected outcome of the gold-foil experiment with the actual outcome.
iragen [17]
Rutherford was one of the early scientists who worked on the atomic model. Before his discovery of the nucleus, the widely accepted theory was J.J Thomson's Plum Pudding Model. In this model, all the protons, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus. But the electrons are more in number such that the electrons act as the 'pudding' and the proton and nucleus the 'plum'. This was Rutherford's hypothesis in his gold foil experiment. In order to test the Plum Pudding model, he hypothesized that when a beam of light is aimed at the atom, it would not diffract because the charges in the nucleus are well-distributed. However, his experiment disproved Thomson's model. Some light indeed passed through but a few was diffracted back to the source. He concluded that this was because there is a dense mass inside the atom called nucleus. Thus, from there on, he proposed the model that the electrons are orbiting around the nucleus.

An iron bar at 200c is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120c in an isolated system
Step2247 [10]

Conduction: In the conduction, the heat is transferred from the hotter body to the colder body until the temperature on both bodies are equal.

In thermal equilibrium, there is no heat transfer as the heat is transferred till the temperature on the bodies are not same.

In the given problem, an iron bar at 200°C is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120°C in an isolated system. After 30 minutes, the thermal equilibrium is attained. Then, the temperature on both iron bars are equal.Both iron bars are at 160°C in an isolated system.

But in an open system, the temperatures of the iron bars after 30 minutes would be less than 160°C. There will be heat lost to the surrounding. The room temperature is 25°C. There will be exchange of the heat occur between the iron bars and the surrounding. But It would take more than 30 minutes for both iron bars to reach 160°C because heat would be transferred less efficiently.

A star is estimated to have a mass of 2.0 x 10 ^36kg. Assuming it to be a sphere of average radius of 7.0 x 10 ^5 km. Calculate
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

<em>a)</em> <em>1.392 x 10^6 g/cm^3</em>

<em>b) 8.69 x 10^7 lb/ft^3</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

mass of the star m =  2.0 x 10^36 kg

radius of the star (assumed to be spherical) r = 7.0 x 10^5 km = 7.0 x 10^8 m

The density of substance ρ = mass/volume

The volume of the star = volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3}\pi  r^{3}

==> V = \frac{4}{3}*3.142*(7.0*10^8)^{3} = 1.437 x 10^27 m^3

density of the star ρ = (2.0 x 10^36)/(1.437 x 10^27) = 1.392 x 10^9 kg/m^3

in g/cm^3 = (1.392 x 10^9)/1000 = <em>1.392 x 10^6 g/cm^3</em>

in lb/ft^3 =  (1.392 x 10^9)/16.018 = <em>8.69 x 10^7 lb/ft^3</em>

1.33 dm3 of water at 70°C are saturated by 2.25
astraxan [27]

Given that 4.50 dm³ of Pb(NO₃)₂ is cooled from 70 °C to 18 °C, the

amount amount of solute that will be deposited is 1,927.413 grams.

<h3>How can the amount of solute deposited be found?</h3>

The volume of water 1.33 dm³ of water 70 °C.

The number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ that saturates 1.33 dm³ of water at 70 °C  = 2.25 moles

At 18 °C, the number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ that saturates 1.33 dm³ of water = 0.53 moles

Therefore;

Number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ in 4.50 dm³ at 70 °C is therefore;

1.33 dm³ contains 2.25 moles.

Number \ of \ moles \ in \ 4.50 \ dm^3 = \dfrac{2.25}{1.33} \times 4.50 \approx \mathbf{7.613 \, moles}

Number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ in 4.50 dm³ at 70 °C ≈ 7.613 moles

Number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ in 4.50 dm³ at 18 °C is therefore;

1.33 dm³ contains 0.53 moles

Number \ of \ moles \ in \ 4.50 \ dm^3 = \dfrac{0.53}{1.33} \times 4.50 \approx \mathbf{1.79 \, moles}

Number of moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ in 4.50 dm³ at 18 °C ≈ 1.79 moles

The number of moles that precipitate out = The amount of solute deposited

Which gives;

Amount of solute deposited = 7.613 moles - 1.79 moles = 5.823 moles

The molar mass of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 207 g + 2 × (14 g + 3 × 16 g) = 331 g

The molar mass of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 331 g/mol

The amount of solute deposited = Number of moles × Molar mass

Which gives;

The amount of solute deposited = 5.823 moles × 331 g/mol =<u> 1,927.413 g </u>
