Answer:

Density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of solid sphere(m) = 6.1 kg

Density of the metal = 2600 kg/m³

Thus volume of the liquid :

$Volume(V)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Density (\rho)}$

Volume of the sphere = 6.1 kg/2600 kg/m³ = 0.002346 m³

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of sphere (Archimedes' principle)

Volume displaced = 0.002346 m³

Buoyant force = $\rho\times gV$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid

g is the acceleration due to gravity

V is the volume displaced

The free body diagram of the sphere is shown in image.

According to image:

$mg=\rho\times gV+T$

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 ms⁻²

Tension force = 26 N

Applying in the equation to find the density of the liquid as:

$6.1\times 9.81=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346+26$

$33.841=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346$

$\rho=\frac{33.841}{9.81\times 0.002346}$

$\rho=1470.43 kgm^3$

<u>Thus, the density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³</u>

Kaylis [27]

Physical changes occur when the properties of a substance are retained and/or the materials can be recovered after the change. Chemical changes involve the formation of a new substance. Formation of a gas, solid, light, or heat are possible evidence of chemical change.

Consider a general reaction A ( aq ) enzyme ⇌ B ( aq ) A(aq)⇌enzymeB(aq) The Δ G ° ′ ΔG°′ of the reaction is − 5.980 kJ ⋅ mol −

Grace [21]

Answer : The value of $K_{eq}$ is, 11.2

The value of $\Delta G_{rxn}$ is -9.04 kJ/mol

Explanation :

The relation between the equilibrium constant and standard Gibbs free energy is:

$\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln K_{eq}$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = -5.980 kJ/mol = -5980 J/mol

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/K.mol

T = temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298K$

$K_{eq}$ = equilibrium constant = ?

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

$\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln K_{eq}$

$-5980J/mol=-(8.314J/K.mol)\times (298K)\times \ln K_{eq}$

$K_{eq}=11.2$

Thus, the value of $K_{eq}$ is, 11.2

Now we have to calculate the $\Delta G_{rxn}$ .

The formula used for $\Delta G_{rxn}$ is:

The given reaction is:

$A(aq)\rightleftharpoons B(aq)$

$\Delta G_{rxn}=\Delta G^o+RT\ln Q$

$\Delta G_{rxn}=\Delta G^o+RT\ln \frac{[B]}{[A]}$ ............(1)

where,

$\Delta G_{rxn}$ = Gibbs free energy for the reaction = ?

$\Delta G_^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = -30.5 kJ/mol

R = gas constant = $8.314\times 10^{-3}kJ/mole.K$

T = temperature = $37.0^oC=273+37.0=310K$

Q = reaction quotient

[A] = concentration of A = 1.8 M

[B] = concentration of B = 0.55 M

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

$\Delta G_{rxn}=(-5980J/mol)+[(8.314J/mole.K)\times (310K)\times \ln (\frac{0.55}{1.8})$

$\Delta G_{rxn}=-9035.75J/mol=-9.04kJ/mol$

Therefore, the value of $\Delta G_{rxn}$ is -9.04 kJ/mol

Janine is trying to separate some ethanol from water. Which method should she use does anyone know this

GuDViN [60]

To separate some ethanol from water, Jane needs to use the method of simple distillation.

Simple distillation is a separation method in which two liquids can be separated from each other based on differences in boiling point.

Since water has a higher boiling point than ethanol, ethanol is collected first as the distillation proceeds.

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 known elements have atoms, in their ground-state, with valence electrons whose quantum numbers are n = 5 and l = 1?a. 3

Goshia [24]

Answer:

c. 6.

Explanation:

Looking at the description given in the question, the elements involved must belong to the p- block of the periodic table and must be in period 5. They also must possess valence electrons in the 5p- orbital.

Now if we look at the p- block of period 5, the following elements satisfy these requirements; Sr, In, Sn, Sb, Te and I.

Hence there are six of such elements.
