One way to identify the composition of metal fragments found at the site of an explosion is to measure the specific heat of the

fragments. Suppose a fragment is found to have a specific heat of 0.129 J/gᐧ℃. Would this information alone be enough to identify the metal in the fragment? Explain why or why not. If not, suggest a method for identifying the metal that would not require any additional equipment.

It would be possible. All you have to do is Google the number.

Question 2 The metal molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90K. Calculate the temperature at which molybden

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is-272.25°C

Explanation:

Conductor are those hard substances which allows path of electric current through them. And super conductors are those hard substances which have resistance against the flow of electric current through them.

As given, molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90 K.

Temperature in Kelvins can be converted in °C by relation:

T(°C)=273.15-T(K)

Molybdenum becomes superconducting in degrees Celsius.

T(°C)=273.15-0.90= -272.25 °C

Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is -272.25 °C

3 ways of improving the quality of an indigenous soap

Monica [59]

Answer : Below are three ways described in brief for improving the quality of indigenous soap.

1) Add virgin coconut oil which serves as a softener and betel leaf extract. It is used to improve the quality of soap as an antimicrobial agent.

2) Add activated charcoal black granules or powder to the soap, it removes maximum dirt from the skin.

3) Adding a filler which will increase the shelf life of usage of the soap will also improve its quality.

Determine Z and V for steam at 250°C and 1800 kPa by the following: (a) The truncated virial equation [Eq. (3.38)] with the foll

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the temperature $T_1$ = 250 °C= ( 250+ 273.15 ) K = 523.15 K

Pressure = 1800 kPa

a)

The truncated viral equation is expressed as:

$\frac{PV}{RT} = 1 + \frac{B}{V} + \frac{C}{V^2}$

where; B = - $152.5 \ cm^3 /mol$ C = -5800 $cm^6/mol^2$

R = 8.314 × 10³ cm³ kPa. K⁻¹.mol⁻¹

Plugging all our values; we have

$\frac{1800*V}{8.314*10^3*523.15} = 1+ \frac{-152.5}{V} + \frac{-5800}{V^2}$

$4.138*10^{-4} \ V= 1+ \frac{-152.5}{V} + \frac{-5800}{V^2}$

Multiplying through with V² ; we have

$4.138*10^4 \ V ^3 = V^2 - 152.5 V - 5800 = 0$

$4.138*10^4 \ V ^3 - V^2 + 152.5 V + 5800 = 0$

V = 2250.06 cm³ mol⁻¹

Z = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

Z = $\frac{1800*2250.06}{8.314*10^3*523.15}$

Z = 0.931

b) The truncated virial equation [Eq. (3.36)], with a value of B from the generalized Pitzer correlation [Eqs. (3.58)–(3.62)].

The generalized Pitzer correlation is :

$T_c = 647.1 \ K \\ \\ P_c = 22055 \ kPa \\ \\ \omega = 0.345$

$T__{\gamma}} = \frac{T}{T_c}$

$T__{\gamma}} = \frac{523.15}{647.1}$

$T__{\gamma}} = 0.808$

$P__{\gamma}} = \frac{P}{P_c}$

$P__{\gamma}} = \frac{1800}{22055}$

$P__{\gamma}} = 0.0816$

$B_o = 0.083 - \frac{0.422}{T__{\gamma}}^{1.6}}$

$B_o = 0.083 - \frac{0.422}{0.808^{1.6}}$

$B_o = 0.51$

$B_1 = 0.139 - \frac{0.172}{T__{\gamma}}^{ \ 4.2}}$

$B_1 = -0.282$

The compressibility is calculated as:

$Z = 1+ (B_o + \omega B_1 ) \frac{P__{\gamma}}{T__{\gamma}}$

$Z = 1+ (-0.51 +(0.345* - 0.282) ) \frac{0.0816}{0.808}$

Z = 0.9386

$V= \frac{ZRT}{P}$

$V= \frac{0.9386*8.314*10^3*523.15}{1800}$

V = 2268.01 cm³ mol⁻¹

c) From the steam tables (App. E).

At $T_1 = 523.15 \ K \ and \ P = 1800 \ k Pa$

V = 0.1249 m³/ kg

M (molecular weight) = 18.015 gm/mol

V = 0.1249 × 10³ × 18.015

V = 2250.07 cm³/mol⁻¹

R = 729.77 J/kg.K

Z = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

Z = $\frac{1800*10^3 *0.1249}{729.77*523.15}$

Z = 0.588

Which of the following compounds would be most effective in lowering the melting point of ice on roads? a) CaCl2 b) NaCl C) K3PO

Mrac [35]

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I would go with C) NaCl.
NaCl is a salt, and that is used to melt the ice on the roads. Hope this helps!
