Answer:

The temperature of the boiler is approximately 147.1 °C

Explanation:

A Carnot engine is an ideal engine that has the highest efficiency among all the engines because the second law of thermodynamics.That efficiency \eta  is:

\eta=1-\frac{T_{c}}{T_{h}}

with T_{h} the temperature of the hot reservoir (the boiler temperature) and T_{c} the temperature of the cold reservoir (the steam temperature). Solving for T_{h}:

T_{h}=\frac{-T_{c}}{\eta-1}=\frac{-72.4}{0.508-1}\approx147.1\,C

How many milligrams of sodium sulfide are needed to completely react with 25.00 ml of a 0.0100 m aqueous solution of cadmium nit
NARA [144]
Na₂S(aq) + Cd(NO₃)₂(aq) = CdS(s) + 2NaNO₃(aq)

v=25.00 mL
c=0.0100 mmol/mL
M(Na₂S)=78.046 mg/mmol

n(Na₂S)=n{Cd(NO₃)₂}=cv

m(Na₂S)=M(Na₂S)n(Na₂S)=M(Na₂S)cv

m(Na₂S)=78.046*0.0100*25.00≈19.5 mg

On the basis of the information above, what is the approximate percent ionization of HNO2 in a 1.0 M HNO2 (aq) solution?
enot [183]

Answer:

The answer is "2%"

Explanation:

Equation:

HNO_2\ (aq) \leftrightharpoons  H^{+} \ (aq) + NO_2^{-}\ (aq) \\\\\  K_a = 4.0\times \ 10^{-4}

H^{+}=?

Formula:

Ka = \frac{[H^{+}][NO_2^{-}]}{[HNO_2]}

Let

[H^{+}] = [NO_2^{-}] = x at equilibrium

x^2 = (4.0\times 10^{-4})\times 1.0\\\\x = ((4.0\times 10^{-4})\times 1.0)^{0.5} = 2.0 \times 10^{-2} \  M\\\\

therefore,

[H^{+}] = 2.0\times 10^{-2} \ M = 0.02 \ M

Calculating the % ionization:

= \frac{([H^{+}]}{[HNO_2])} \times 100 \\\\= \frac{0.02}{1}\times 100 \\\\= 2\%\\\\
