A) Polymer is the general name of large units made of many smaller units (these would be called monomers). An example is starch, this is a carbohydrate polymer that is made up of smaller units (monomers) called glucose.

A 7.50 liter sealed jar at 18 °c contains 0.125 moles of oxygen and 0.125 moles of nitrogen gas. what is the pressure in the con

devlian [24]

The ideal gas equation is;
PV = nRT; therefore making P the subject we get;
P = nRT/V
The total number of moles is 0.125 + 0.125 = 0.250 moles
Temperature in kelvin = 273.15 + 18 = 291.15 K
PV = nRT
P = (0.250 × 0.0821 )× 291.15 K ÷ (7.50 L) = 0.796 atm
Thus, the pressure in the container will be 0.796 atm

A gas sample occupies 3.50 liters of volume at 20.°c. what volume will this gas occupy at 100.°c (reported to three significant

VLD [36.1K]

Explanation:

According to Charle's law, at constant pressure the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature.

That is, $Volume \propto Temperature$

Hence, it is given that $V_{1}$ is 3.50 liters, $T_{1}$ is 20 degree celsius, and $T_{2}$ is 100 degree celsius.

Therefore, calculate $V_{2}$ as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

$\frac{3.50 liter}{20^{o}C} = \frac{V_{2}}{100^{o}C}$

$V_{2}$ = 17.5 liter

Thus, we can conclude that volume of gas required at 100 degree celsius is 17.5 liter.

5 plates is the highest amount that can be served

There’s only 5 sandwiches so 7 is automatically ruled out, there’s 14 corn cobs and 5 sandwiches only need 10 so it works out

Ammonia gas is compressed from 21°C and 200 kPa to 1000 kPa in an adiabatic compressor with an efficiency of 0.82. Estimate the

Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

It is known that efficiency is denoted by $\eta$ .

The given data is as follows.

$\eta$ = 0.82, $T_{1}$ = (21 + 273) K = 294 K

$P_{1}$ = 200 kPa, $P_{2}$ = 1000 kPa

Therefore, calculate the final temperature as follows.

$\eta = \frac{T_{2} - T_{1}}{T_{2}}$

0.82 = $\frac{T_{2} - 294 K}{T_{2}}$

$T_{2}$ = 1633 K

Final temperature in degree celsius = $(1633 - 273)^{o}C$

= $1360^{o}C$

Now, we will calculate the entropy as follows.

$\Delta S = nC_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + nR ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

For 1 mole, $\Delta S = C_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + R ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

It is known that for $NH_{3}$ the value of $C_{v}$ = 0.028 kJ/mol.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\Delta S = C_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + R ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

= $0.028 kJ/mol \times ln \frac{1633}{294} + 8.314 \times 10^{-3} kJ \times ln \frac{200}{1000}$

= 0.0346 kJ/mol

or, = 34.6 J/mol (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, entropy change of ammonia is 34.6 J/mol.

How many grams of chromium metal are plated out when a constant current of 8.00 a is passed through an aqueous solution containi

Oliga [24]

We can solve this without a concrete formula through dimensional analysis. This works by manipulating the units such that you end up with the unit of the final answer. Manipulate them by cancelling units that appear both in the numerator and denominator side. As a result, we must be left with the units of g. The current in A or amperes is equivalent to amount of Coulombs per second. Since this involves Coulombs, we will use the Faraday's constant which is 96,500 C/mol electron. The reaction is:

Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ --> Cr(s)

This means that for every 3 moles of electron transferred, 1 mole of Chromium metal is plated. The molar mass of Cr: 52 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of Chromium metal = (8 C/s)(60 s/1 min)(160 min)(1 mol e⁻/96,500 C)(1 mol Cr/3 mol e)(52 g/mol)
<em>Mass of Chromium metal = 13.79 g</em>
