In 1980,the US produced 18.4 billion(10to the power of 9)pounds of phosphoric acid to be used in the manufacture of fertilizer.t

he average cost of the acid is 318$/ton.(1 Ton =2000 lb)what was the total value of the phosphoric acid produced?

Answer:

2'925.600'000.000‬ $ approximately 2,93 billion $

Explanation:

In order to get the total cost of the Phosphoric Acid produced, it's necessary to convert the Phosphoric Acid pounds into Tons using the given conversion and knowing that 1 billion = 1'000.000'000.000 :

18.4 billon(lb) * \frac{1'000.000'000.000(lb)}{1 billon(lb)} *\frac{1(Ton)}{2000(lb)} =9.200'000.000(Ton)

and knowing a Ton cost 318$ we can multiply by 318$ and get the result:

9.200'000.000(Ton) * \frac{318\$ }{1(Ton)} =2'925.600'000.000\$

This is approximately 2,93 billion $.

18.4 * 10^9 lbs = (18.4 * 10^9)/2000 tons  

Cost = ((18.4 * 10^9)/2000 ) * 318  

Cost = $ 2925600000

Using the idea of electronegativity difference for predicting polarity of bonds and considering the shape of the following molec
Zinaida [17]
See electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to gain an electron and flourine with a valecy of one and a vey small size is the most electronegetive because its orbitals are quite closed to the nucleus and hence the attraction is quite strong so it can attract an electron.the question that arises is that some smaller atoms should be more electronegetive as they are closer to the nucleus but it need more energy for them as compared to flourine to complete their octet. now polarity increases when two atoms of quite different sizes form a compound ... the more electronegetive atom will always attract the bond pair forming a negetive charge on it and positive on the less electroneg. one and polarity increases with electronegetivity of the anion.now as your question says 
<span>5=I2.. because both the atoms are same there wont be permanent polarity </span>
<span>4=HI iodine is the least electronegetive of all the halogens due to its large size,electronegetivity decreases down the group </span>
<span>3=HBr bromine is the 2nd largest halogen </span>
<span>2=HCl chlorine is the 3rd largest halogen </span>
<span>1=HF fluorine is the smallest halogen making and hence makes the most polar</span>

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.

nasty-shy [4]

Answer: The workdone W = 505J

Explanation:

Applying the pressure-volume relationship

W= - PΔV

Where negative sign indicates the power is being delivered to the surrounding

W = - 1.0atm * ( 5.88 - 0.9)L

= - 1.0atm * (4.98)

W = -4.98 atmL

Converting to Joules

1atmL = 101.325J

-4.98atmL = x joules.

Work done in J = -4.98 * 101.325

W= -505J

Therefore the workdone is -505J
