A gas occupies a volume of 1.0 m3 in a cylinder at a pressure of 120kPa. A piston compresses the gas until the volume is 0.25m3,

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Approximately $480\; \rm kPa$ , assuming that this gas is an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Let $V(\text{Initial})$ and $P(\text{Initial})$ denote the volume and pressure of this gas before the compression.
Let $V(\text{Final})$ and $P(\text{Final})$ denote the volume and pressure of this gas after the compression.

By Boyle's Law, the pressure of a sealed ideal gas at constant temperature will be inversely proportional to its volume. Assume that this gas is ideal. By this ideal gas law:

$\displaystyle \frac{P(\text{Final})}{P(\text{Initial})} = \frac{V(\text{Initial})}{V(\text{Final})}$ .

Note that in Boyle's Law, $P$ is inversely proportional to $V$ . Therefore, on the two sides of this equation, "final" and "initial" are on different sides of the fraction bar.

For this particular question:

$V(\text{initial}) = 1.0\; \rm m^3$ .
$P(\text{Initial}) = 120\; \rm kPa$ .

$V(\text{final}) = 0.25\; \rm m^3$ .
The pressure after compression, $P(\text{Final})$ , needs to be found.

Rearrange the equation to obtain:

$\displaystyle P(\text{Final}) = \frac{V(\text{Initial})}{V(\text{Final})} \cdot P(\text{Initial})$ .

Before doing any calculation, think whether the pressure of this gas will go up or down. Since the gas is compressed, collisions between its particles and the container will become more frequent. Hence, the pressure of this gas should increase.

$\begin{aligned}P(\text{Final}) &= \frac{V(\text{Initial})}{V(\text{Final})} \cdot P(\text{Initial})\\ &= \frac{1.0\; \rm m^{3}}{0.25\; \rm m^{3}} \times 120\; \rm kPa = 480\; \rm kPa\end{aligned}$ .

Do you think scientists should continue to explore nuclear energy as a source of electricity? Explain your opinion and provide r

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Nuclear energy refers to energy trapped in the nucleus of atoms. Nuclear energy holds the greatest promise for large scale electricity generation. For instance, the amount of energy released by a given mass of uranium is 2.5 million times the energy released by combustion of an equal mass of carbon.One gram of uranium produces the same energy as 1 ton of coal, 17000 cubic feet of natural gas, 5000 pounds of wood and 149 gallons of oil.

Nuclear energy does not pollute the atmosphere as fossil fuels do. However, the challenges of effective control of the nuclear reactor and disposal of radioactive waste still remain a serious concern.

However, exploitation of nuclear energy as a source of electricity remain expensive and it is not quite easy to set up a nuclear power plant. Not many countries can afford to pay for the services of experts who operate nuclear energy plants talk more of providing the required equipment.
