Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 22RQ
When an object is made of the plastic polyester (PET), it uses antimony as a catalyst. After production, antimony can leach into food and drink stored in PET containers. Usually, if stored correctly for a short amount of time, the amount of antimony found in liquids is well below the safety limits. However, there have been reports of as much as 44.7 micrograms per liter [μg/L] of antimony found in fruit juice concentrates. How much antimony, in units of moles [mol], could be found in one gallon [gal] of fruit juice concentrate at this level of contamination? The molecular mass of antimony is 121.76 grams per mole [g/mol].

- Revisit Example 6 from your Module 4 notes. Consider the well-insulated, rigid tank having a volume of 10 [ft']. Previously, it contained saturated water vapor at 212°F at state 1. The water was rapidly stirred until the pressure was 20 [lbfin'). In class we showed that the temperature at state 2 was 445°F and the work done during this process was -31.3 (Btu]. Now, if insulation were removed from the tank, and the water is cooled at constant volume from T2 = 445°F to T3= 300°F without stirring the water, determine: a) The pressure at the state 3 in [Ibfin*), and b) The heat transfer during the process in [Btu).arrow_forward⦁ “God himself could not sink this ship” This is an advertisement for the Titanic, produced in the early 1900s.

The walls and ceiling are composed of 1.7 mm stainless steel (k = 15 W / [m ° C]), 10 cm thick foam insulation (k = 0.036 W / [m ° C]), a specific thickness of corkboard (k = 0.043 W / [m ° C]), and 1.8 cm thickness of wood (k = 0.104 W / [m ° C]). The inside of the freezer is maintained at -40 ° C. The ambient air outside the freezer is 32 ° C. The convective heat transfer coefficient is 5 W / (m K) on wooden walls and 2 W / (m² K) on stainless steel surfaces. If the outside air has a dew point of 29 ° C, calculate the thickness of the corkboard insulation that will prevent moisture condensation on the outer walls of the freezer.
