Answer: D) 36.0 km/hr, downstream

Explanation:

For downstream motion of the boat, the actual velocity of the boat is the sum of velocity of the water current and the velocity of the boat due to pushed by wind.

Velocity of water current, v = 15 km/h

Velocity of the boat going downstream, u = 21 km/h

Actual velocity of the boat = v'

v' = v + u

⇒v' = 15 km/h + 21 km/h

⇒u = 21 km/h +15 km/h = 36.0 km/h downstream

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Item 5 A solution of methanol, CH3OH, in water is prepared by mixing together 128 g of methanol and 108 g of water. The mole fra

Basile [38]

Answer:

Mole fraction of methanol will be closest to 4.

Explanation:

Given, Mass of methanol = 128 g

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{128\ g}{32.04\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ methanol = 3.995\ mol$

Given, Mass of water = 108 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0153 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{108\ g}{18.0153\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ water= 5.995\ mol$

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ methanol=\frac {n_{methanol}}{n_{methanol}+n_{water}}$

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ methanol=\frac{3.995}{3.995+5.995}=0.39989$

<u>Mole fraction of methanol will be closest to 4.</u>

Ammonia gas is compressed from 21°C and 200 kPa to 1000 kPa in an adiabatic compressor with an efficiency of 0.82. Estimate the

Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

It is known that efficiency is denoted by $\eta$ .

The given data is as follows.

$\eta$ = 0.82, $T_{1}$ = (21 + 273) K = 294 K

$P_{1}$ = 200 kPa, $P_{2}$ = 1000 kPa

Therefore, calculate the final temperature as follows.

$\eta = \frac{T_{2} - T_{1}}{T_{2}}$

0.82 = $\frac{T_{2} - 294 K}{T_{2}}$

$T_{2}$ = 1633 K

Final temperature in degree celsius = $(1633 - 273)^{o}C$

= $1360^{o}C$

Now, we will calculate the entropy as follows.

$\Delta S = nC_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + nR ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

For 1 mole, $\Delta S = C_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + R ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

It is known that for $NH_{3}$ the value of $C_{v}$ = 0.028 kJ/mol.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\Delta S = C_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + R ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

= $0.028 kJ/mol \times ln \frac{1633}{294} + 8.314 \times 10^{-3} kJ \times ln \frac{200}{1000}$

= 0.0346 kJ/mol

or, = 34.6 J/mol (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, entropy change of ammonia is 34.6 J/mol.

Describe an electron cloud. Then, name and explain a particular atomic model that used the concept of the electron cloud.

pochemuha

Electron cloud is the region around the nucleus in an atom where we can locate an electron.

The concept of electron cloud model was introduced by the Schrodinger and Heisenberg. According to this model, it would be difficult to know the position of the electrons in an atom and they are not particles that orbit around the nucleus. We can only expect the electrons to be present in specific areas called the electron clouds around the nucleus. It is the quantum mechanical model that used the concept of electron clouds. According to the model, the electron cloud or an orbital is a space around the nucleus in an atom where the probability of finding an electron is 90%. It explains that electrons show wave nature. It is difficult to determine the exact position and momentum of an electron in an atom.
