The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>

2.0 kg of solid gold (Au) at an initial temperature of 1000K is allowed to exchange heat with 1.5 kg of liquid gold at an initia
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The specific heat of gold is 129 J/kgC

It's melting point is 1336 K

It's Heat of fusion is 63000 J/kg

Assuming that the mixture will be solid, the thermal energy to solidify the gold has to be less than that needed to raise the solid gold to the melting point. So,

The first is E1 = 63000 J/kg x 1.5 = 94500 J

the second is E2 = 129 J/kgC x 2 kg x (1336–1000)K = 86688 J

Therefore, all solid is not correct. You will have a mixture of solid and liquid.

For more detail, the difference between E1 and E2 is 7812 J, and that will melt

7812/63000 = 0.124 kg of the solid gold

A container of volume 0.6 m^3 contains 5.3 mol of argon gas at 24°C. Assuming argon behaves as an ideal gas, find the total inte
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

the internal energy of the gas is 433089.52 J

Explanation:

let n be the number of moles, R be the gas constant and T be the temperature in Kelvins.

the internal energy of an ideal gas is given by:

Ein = 3/2×n×R×T

     = 3/2×(5.3)×(8.31451)×(24 + 273)

     = 433089.52 J

Therefore, the internal energy of this gas is 433089.52 J.

How many significant figures do each of the following numbers have: (a) 214, (b) 81.60, (c) 7.03, (d) 0.03, (e) 0.0086, (f) 3236
Korolek [52]

In determining the number of significant figures in a given number, there are three rules to always remember / follow:

First: All integers except zero are always significant.

<span>Second: Any zeros located between  non zeroes are always significant.</span>

Third: A zero located after a non zero in a decimal is always significant whether it is before or after the decimal

 

Therefore using this rule, the number of significant digits in the given numbers are:

(a) 214 = 3

(b) 81.60 = 4

(c) 7.03 = 3

(d) 0.03 = 1

(e) 0.0086 = 2

(f) 3236 = 4

(g) 8700 = 2

A chair of mass 30.0 kg is at rest on a horizontal floor. The floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of 8
miv72 [106K]
First make sure you draw a force diagram. You should have Fn going up, Fg going down, Ff going left and another Fn going diagonally down to the right. The angle of the diagonal Fn (we'll call it Fn2) is 35° and Fn2 itself is 80N. Fn2 can be divided into two forces: Fn2x which is horizontal, and Fn2y which is vertical. Right now we only care about Fn2y.

To solve for Fn2y we use what we're given and some trig. Drawing out the actual force of Fn2 along with Fn2x and Fn2y we can see it makes a right triangle, with 80 as the hypotenuse. We want to solve for Fn2y which is the opposite side, so Sin(35)=y/80. Fn2y= 80sin35 = 45.89N

Next we solve for Fg. To do this we use Fg= 9.8 * m. Mass = 30kg, so Fg = 9.8 * 30 = 294N.

Since the chair isn't moving up or down, we can set our equation equal to zero. The net force equation in the vertical direction will be Fn + Fn2y -Fg = 0. If we plug in what we know, we get Fn + 45.89 -294 = 0. Then solve this algebraically.

Fn +45.89 -294 = 0
Fn +45.89 = 294
Fn = 248.11 N

You'll get a more accurate answer if you don't round Fn2y when solving for it, it would be something along the lines of 45.88611 etc
