4. A nuclear engineer is designing a nuclear reactor for a new power plant. The reactor core will have an operating temperature

of 773 K. The engineer must choose an appropriate coolant to transfer heat from the reactor core through one or more cooling loops to the steam generator and turbines/generator that produce electricity. Running the coolant under pressure is more expensive than running it at normal atmospheric pressure (1 atm). The choices for the reactor coolant are listed in the table below, with their properties. Choose which substance would be best to recommend to the engineer. Explain your choice in terms of its properties. Explain how the chemical bonds in the substance account for its properties

Molecular bromine is 24 percent dissociated at 1600 k and 1.00 bar in the equilibrium br2 (
dlinn [17]
Br2 == 2Br

24% dissociated => n total moles, 0.24 mol*n of Br, and 0.76*n mol of Br2

=> partial pressure of Br, P Br = 0.24 bar, and
     partical pressure of Br2, P Br2 = 0.76 bar

kp = (P Br)^2 / P Br2 = (0.24)^2 / 0.76 = 0.0758

Standard Thermodynamic Quantities for Selected Substances at 25 ∘C Reactant or product ΔHf∘(kJ/mol) Al(s) 0.0 MnO2(s) −520.0 Al2
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

-1815.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Starting with standard enthalpies of formation you can calculate the standard enthalpy for the reaction doing this simple calculation:

∑ n *ΔH formation (products) - ∑ n *ΔH formation (reagents)

This is possible because enthalpy is state function meaning it only deppends on the initial and final state of the system (That's why is also possible to "mix" reactions with Hess Law to determine the enthalpy of a new reaction). Also the enthalpy of formation is the heat required to form the compound from pure elements, then products are just atoms of reagents organized in a different form.

In this case:

ΔH rxn = [(2 * -1675.7) - (3 * -520.0)] kJ/mol = -1815.4 kJ/mol

Heptane (C7H16) and octane (C8H18) are constitutents of gasoline. At 80 degree celsius, the vapor pressure of heptane is 428mmHg
ss7ja [257]
Looking at this equation P= (pa*pb)/ (pa+(pb-pa)) ya  where pa=vap press a and ya= vap composition a and P= total pressure,it relates vapor pressure mixture to vapor composition. This is derived using the combination of Dalton's and Raoult's laws.

What is the density ρh of hot air inside the balloon? assume that this density is uniform throughout the balloon. express the de
enyata [817]

Answer 1) : The density of the hot air inside the balloon can be found out by using ideal gas equation;


PV = nRT;


As n is number of moles and in gases, number of moles along with mass per mole is equal to the density of the gas.


If the moles in the gas are more the density will be more.


here, density (ρ) = mass (m) / volume (V); substituting in the ideal gas equation we get,

ρ = mP / RT


Answer 2) ρ (hot air) = ρ (cold air) X \frac{T_{h}}{T_{c}}

Here according to the formula because T(hot air) >T(cold air),


So, the density of hot air greater than the density of cold air.


The relationship between the ρ (h) = ρ(c) X \frac{T_{h}}{T_{c}}
