Concept explainers
A chemistry student is performing in experiment to determine the temperature volume behaviour of a gas mixture at constant pressure and quantity. Due to technical difficulties, he could only obtain values at two temperatures as shown in the table below:
(a) Find the equation of the line that describes the temperature volume relationship of the gas mixture, and determines the slope in of the linear relationship.
(b) Using the equation of the line from part (a), find the temperature of the gas mixture lithe volume is 1.15 L.
(c) Using the equation of the line from part (a), find the volume of the gas if the temperature is 70° C.
(d) Sketch the graph of the volume, temperature relationship for the gas mixture from -300°C to 100°C and clearly indicate both the slope m and the y -intercept. What k the significance of the temperature when

- Find the constant of proportionality. z is directly proportional to the sum of x and y. If x=2 and y=5, then z=28.arrow_forwardFind the intensities of earthquakes whose magnitudes are (a) R=6.0 and (b) R=7.9.arrow_forwardTsunami Waves and BreakwatersThis is a continuation of Exercise 16. Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?arrow_forward
- When a certain drug is taken orally, the concentration of the drug in the patient's bloodstream After t minutes is given by C(t)=0.06t0.0002t2 where 0t240 and concentration is measured in mg/L .When is the maximum serum concentration reached, and what is that maximum concentration?arrow_forwardFind the constant of proportionality. E varies jointly with I and R. If R=25 and I=5, then E=125.arrow_forward
