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 can you tell the number of covalent bonds an element can form?
Sergio039 [100]

The number of bonds for a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in the full valence shell (2 or 8 electrons) minus the number of valence electrons. This method works because each covalent bond that an atom forms adds another electron to an atoms valence shell without changing its charge.

The molarity of the acid given the data from the question is 0.30 M

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

2HNO₃ + Ba(OH)₂ —> Ba(NO₃)₂ + 2H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

  • The mole ratio of the acid, HNO₃ (nA) = 2
  • The mole ratio of the base, Ba(NO₃)₂ (nB) = 1

<h3>How to determine the molarity of the acid</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Volume of acid, HNO₃ (Va) = 39.7 mL
  • Volume of base, Ba(NO₃)₂ (Vb) = 24 mL
  • Molarity of base, Ba(NO₃)₂ (Cb) = 0.250 M
  • Molarity of acid, HNO₃ (Ma) =?

MaVa / MbVb = nA / nB

(Ma × 39.7) / (0.25 × 24) = 2

(Ma × 39.7) / 6 = 2

Cross multiply

Ma × 39.7 = 6 × 2

Ma × 39.7 = 12

Divide both side by 39.7

Ma = 12 / 39.7

Ma = 0.30 M

harina [27]
Na2S2O3(aq) + 4Cl2( g) + 5H2O = 2NaHSO4(aq) + 8HCl(aq)

1)How many moles of HCl can form from 0.21 mol of Cl2?
0.21 mol Cl2 ( 8 mol HCl / 4 mol Cl2 ) = 0.42 mol HCl

2)How many moles of H2O are required for the reaction of 0.18 mol of Cl2?
0.18 mol Cl2 ( 5 mol H2O / 4 mol Cl2 ) = 0.225 mol H2O

3)How many moles of H2O react if 0.50 mol HCl is formed?
0.50 mol HCl ( 5 mol H2O / 8 mol HCl ) = 0.3125 mol H2O

A Gas OCCUPIES 525ML AT A PRESSURE OF 85.0 kPa WHAT WOULD THE VOLUME OF THE GAS BE AT THE PRESSURE OF 65.0 kPa
german

Boyle's law of ideal gas: This law states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at a constant temperature. Acc to this law we can write the relation of pressure and volume as:

PV=Constant

That means:

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}

From that equation we can calculate Volume of gas at a certain pressure:

P₁=Initial pressure

V₁=Initial volume

P₂=Final pressure

V₂= Final volume

Here P₁, initial pressure is given as 85.0 kPa

V₁, initial volume is given as 525 mL

P₂, final pressure is 65.0 kPa

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}

so,

V_{2}=85\times 525\div 65

=686 mL

Volume of gas will be 686 mL.
