Answer:

kindly check the explanation section.

Explanation:

The largest rice cake in the world was discovered in the year 2007 in South Korea with a weight of 8,113 lb. The amount of energy in the World's largest rice cake can be determined by using the formula below:

The energy in kJ =[ mass of water] x [specific heat capacity of water] x [change in temperature].

In order to determine experimentally in the laboratory and make use of the formula above. The first thing[STEP ONE] to do is to measure the mass of the rice cake and record it.

STEP TWO: measure a known amount of water in a boiling tube.

STEP THREE: Heat the rice cake until it catches fire with a Bunsen flame.

STEP FOUR: Use the rice cake that has already caught fire in step three above and use it to heat the water in step two until the fire burns out.

Repeat the process for three to four times and record your observations under the following headings;

[1]. Mass of cake, [2]. Temperature of water before burning, [3]. Temperature of water after burning and Temperature increase per gram of the rice cake.

Water at 4.4°C is to flow through a horizontal, commercial steel pipe having a length of 305 m at the rate of 150 gal/min. If a

Pavel [41]

Answer:

d = 70.5 mm

Explanation:

given,

length of pipe = 305 m

discharge rate = 150 gal/min

pipe diameter = ?

1 gal/min = 6.30902 × 10⁻⁵ m³/s

150 gal/min = 150 × 6.30902 × 10⁻⁵ m³/s

= 9.46 × 10⁻³ m³/s

$h = \dfrac{flv^2}{2gd}$

Q = A V

$h = \dfrac{fl(\dfrac{Q}{A})^2}{2gd}$

$h = \dfrac{fl(\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2})^2}{2gd}$

$h= \dfrac{8flQ^2}{\pi^2gd^5}$

f = 0.048 from moody chart using P/D = 0.00015

$\dfrac{1}{d^5}= \dfrac{6.1\times \pi^2\times 9.8}{8\times 0.048\times 305\times 0.00946^2}$

d = 70.5 mm

Diameter of the pipe is equal to 70.5 mm

When CO2(g) reacts with H2(g) to form C2H2(g) and H2O(g), 23.3 kJ of energy are absorbed for each mole of CO2(g) that reacts. Wr

kupik [55]

Answer:

$2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ$

Explanation:

As energy is absorbed therefore it is an endothermic reaction. Hence energy value should be written in the product side with a negative sign.

Reaction: $CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+H_{2}O(g)$

C balance: $2CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+H_{2}O(g)$

H and O balance: $2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)$

Here 2 moles of $CO_{2}$ react. So, energy absorbed during the reaction is $(2\times 23.3)$ kJ or 46.6 kJ

Energy balance: $2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ$

Balanced thermochemical equation:

$2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ$

For each reaction, find the value of ΔSo. Report the value with the appropriate sign. (a) 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l) → 2 HNO3(l) + NO(g)

aev [14]

Answer:

ΔS° = -268.13 J/K

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

3 NO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → 2 HNO₃(l) + NO(g)

We can calculate the standard entropy change of a reaction (ΔS°) using the following expression:

ΔS° = ∑np.Sp° - ∑nr.Sr°

where,

ni are the moles of reactants and products

Si are the standard molar entropies of reactants and products

ΔS° = [2 mol × S°(HNO₃(l)) + 1 mol × S°(NO(g))] - [3 mol × S°(NO₂(g)) + 1 mol × S°(H₂O(l))]

ΔS° = [2 mol × 155.6 J/K.mol + 1 mol × 210.76 J/K.mol] - [3 mol × 240.06 J/K.mol + 1 mol × 69.91 J/k.mol]

ΔS° = -268.13 J/K

For which of the following species are the dispersion forces strongest?

tigry1 [53]

In order to see which species has the strongest dispersion forces, you need to calculate their molar mass, because the higher the molar mass, the stronger the dispersion forces.
Since E. C8H18 has the highest molar mass, its dispersion forces are also the strongest ones.
