Answer:
Upper F subscript 2 (g) plus upper C a (s) right arrow with delta above upper C a upper F subscript 2 (s).
Explanation:
This is a chemical reaction problem.
In expressing any chemical reaction, we need to understand that there are reactants and products.
- The reactants are the species on the left hand side that are combining.
- The products are the species on the right hand side that are formed.
- Every chemical reaction is obeys the law of conservation of matter i.e equal number of matter on both sides.
Using the statement of this problem, we can deduce that;
Reactants are Fluorine gas and Calcium metal
Product is Calcium Fluoride
Note: A metal is a solid(s) and powder is a solid(s). A gas is denoted as (g). They depict the state of the species reacting.
F₂ + Ca
→ CaF₂
We can see that equal number of atoms are on both sides of the expression.

Answer:
i) 0.5071 (kg/s)
ii) -1407.1 kj/kg
iii) 204.05 Kw
iv) 5.881
v) 9.238
Explanation:
Given Data:
evaporation temperature ( T ) = 4°c = 277.15 K
Condensation Temperature ( T ) = 34°c = 307.15 K
<em>n</em> ( compressor efficiency ) = 0.76
refrigeration rate = 1200 kJ.s^-1
i) determine the circulation rate of the refrigerant
m = =
------- 1
Q = 1200 Kj.s^-1
H2 = entropy at step 2 = 2508.9 (kJ / kg ) ( gotten from Table F )
H4 = entropy at step 4 = 142.4 ( kJ/ kg )
back to equation 1
m ( circulation rate of refrigerant ) = 0.5071 (kg/s)
ii) heat transfer rate in the condenser
Q = m ( H4 - H3 )
= 0.5071 ( 142.4 - 2911.27 )
= -1407.1 kj/kg
where H3 = H2 + ΔH23 = 2911.27 (kj/kg) ( as calculated )
iii) power requirement
w = m * ΔH23
= 0.5071 (kg/s) * 402.37 (kj/kg) = 204.05 Kw
where: ΔH23 = =
= 402.37 (kj/kg)
iv) coefficient of performance of a cycle
W = Qc / w
= 1200 Kj.s^-1/ 204.05 kw
= 5.881
v) coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigeration cycle
= 277.15 / ( 307.15 - 277.15 )
= 9.238
