Which equation or rule can be used to estimate the pseudo-critical properties of mixtures based on the pure-component critical c
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

c. Kay's rule

Explanation:

Kay's rule -

The rule is used to determine the pseudo reduced critical parameters of mixture , with the help of using the critical properties of the components of a given mixture .

The equation for Kay's rule is as follows ,

PV = Z RT

Where Z = The compressibility factor of the mixture .

Hence from the given options , the correct answer is Kay's rule .

A gas within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process at 400 K during which the change in entropy is −0.3 kJ/K
Karolina [17]

Answer:

W = -120 KJ

Explanation:

Since the piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process, then the temperature is constant.

Thus; T1 = T2 = 400K

change in entropy; ΔS = −0.3 kJ/K

Formula for change in entropy is written as;

ΔS = Q/T

Where Q is amount of heat transferred.

Thus;

Q = ΔS × T

Q = -0.3 × 400

Q = -120 KJ

From the first law of thermodynamics, we can find the workdone from;

Q = ΔU + W

Where;

ΔU is Change in the internal energy

W = Work done

Now, since it's an ideal gas model, the change in internal energy is expressed as;

ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT

Where;

m is mass

C_v is heat capacity at constant volume

ΔT is change in temperature

Now, since it's an isothermal process where temperature is constant, then;

ΔT = T2 - T1 = 0

Thus;

ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT = 0

ΔU = 0

From earlier;

Q = ΔU + W

Thus;

-120 = 0+ W

W = -120 KJ

Whic number of the periodic table is the atomic number and which number is the atomic mass?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The mass number (represented by the letter A) is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Consider the element helium. Its atomic number is 2, so it has two protons in its nucleus.

The atomic mass of a single atom is simply its total mass and is typically expressed in atomic mass units or amu. By definition, an atom of carbon with six neutrons, carbon-12, has an atomic mass of 12 amu.

What is the normal ph of rain?
Nuetrik [128]
Since rain is water getting evaporated and condensed, it's equivalent to being distilled. Distilled water is pure water, so I'd guess the normal pH of rain is 7 - which is neutral (neither acidic nor alkaline)

However, when Sulfur Oxides and Nitrogen Oxides mix into the clouds, acid rain could be produced. This isn't "normal rain", though

Several alkene compounds are given below. indicate if each compound can exist as stereoisomers.
Arturiano [62]
The compounds are missing. It will be helpful instead if you know what are stereoisomers. <span>Two molecules are described as stereoisomers of each other if they are made of the same </span>atoms<span>, connected in the same sequence, but the atoms are positioned differently in space in which the difference between two stereoisomers can only be seen when the three dimensional arrangement of the molecules is shown.</span>
