The element that has a valence configuration of 5s25p6 is _______

In the manufacture of paper, logs are cut into small chips, which are stirred into an alkaline solution that dissolves several o

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The estimated feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.

Explanation:

The product of the process is 2000 tons/day of dry wood pulp, of 85 wt% of cellulose. That represents (2000*0.85)=1700 tons/day of cellulose.

That cellulose has to be feed by the wood chips, which had 47 wt% of cellulose in its composition. That means you need (1700/0.47)=3617 tons/day of wood chips to provide all that cellulose.

Th entering flow is wood chips with 45 wt% of water. This solution has an specific gravity of 0.640.

To know the specific gravity of the wood chips we have to write a volume balance. We also know that Mw=0.45*M and Mc=0.55*M.

$V=V_c+V_w\\\\M/\rho=M_c/\rho_c+Mw/\rho_w\\\\M/\rho=0.55*M/\rho_c+0.45*M/\rho_w\\\\1/\rho=0.55/\rho_c +0.45/\rho_w\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1/\rho-0.45/\rho_w\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1/(0.64*\rho_w)-0.45/\rho_w=(1/\rho_w)*(\frac{1}{0.64}-\frac{0.45}{1} )\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1.1125/\rho_w\\\\\rho_c=\frac{0.55}{1.1125}*\rho_w= 0.494*\rho_w$

The specific gravity of the wood chips is 0.494.

The average volume of a log is

$V_l=(\pi*D^{2} /4)*L=(3.1416*\frac{8^{2} \, in^{2} }{4} )*9ft*(\frac{12 in}{1ft})= 21714 in^{3}=12.57 ft^{3}$

The weight of one log is

$M=\rho*V=0.494*\rho_w*12.57 ft^{3}\\\\M=0.494*62.4\frac{lbm}{ft^{3} }*12.57ft^{3}\\\\M=387.5lbm$

To provide 3617 ton/day of wood chips, we need

$n=\frac{supply}{M_{log}}=\frac{3617 tons/day}{387.5 lbm}*\frac{2204lbm}{1ton}\\\\n=20573 logs/day=14.3 logs/min$

The feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of .158 kg if 2,510 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 32°C to 61°C wh

ziro4ka [17]

Answer: 0.548J/g°C

Explanation:

Q = s × m × DeltaT

Q = Heat (J)

S = Specific Heat Capacity

M = mass (g)

DeltaT = Change in temperature (°C)

0.158Kg x 1000 = 158g

2.510J = s x 158g x (61°C-32°C)

2.510J/(158g x 29°C) = s

S = 0.54779.... J/g°C

S = 0.548 J/g°C

what is the new pressure acting on a 2.5 l balloon if its original volume was 5.8 l at 3.7 ATM of pressure

Ivan

Answer : The new pressure acting on a 2.5 L balloon is, 8.6 atm.

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

or,

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure = 3.7 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume = 5.8 L

$V_2$ = final volume = 2.5 L

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$3.7atm\times 5.8L=P_2\times 2.5L$

$P_2=8.6atm$

Thus, the new pressure acting on a 2.5 L balloon is, 8.6 atm.

Consider a mystery compound having the formula MxTy. If the compound is not an acid, if it contains only two elements, and if M

valkas [14]

Answer:

d.) It is a binary molecular compound.

Explanation:

The compound in question has a formula $M{x}T_{y}$ . The compound is not acidic in nature and the element 'M' is not a metal. This shows that the compound does not contain any metal. Based on the definition of a binary molecular compound as a compound comprising elements that are not metals. Therefore, the compound is obviously a binary molecular compound.
