Q3) Estimate the viscosity of aniline at 20 C.
It is desired to determine the molecular weight of an organic compound known to be volatile. For this, a glass balloon with a full volume of 152 mL is weighed and the weighing result is recorded as 215 g. Then, the organic compound that is desired to have some molecular weight in liquid form is added into the balloon and evaporated in a water bath until dryness. After the steam temperature is measured as 90 °C, the balloon is left to cool and the organic compound in the balloon condenses again. The balloon is then weighed again and recorded as 215,367g. Find the molecular weight of this organic compound since the pressure of the environment where the experiment is performed is 700 mmHg.

A movie stunt performer is filming a scene where he swings across a river on a vine. The safety crew must use a vine with enough strength so that it doesn't break while swinging. The stunt performer's mass is 88.0 kg, the vine is 12.0 m long, and the speed of the stunt performer at the bottom of the swing has been determined to be 8.60 m/s. What is the minimum tension force (in N) the vine must be able to support without breaking? N Need Help? Submit Answer Read It

Carbon tetrachloride (CC14) is diffusing through benzene (C6H6), as the drawing illustrates. The concentration of CCl4 at the left end of the tube is maintained at 1.95 x 10-2 kg/m3, and the diffusion constant is 20.4 x 10-10 m²/s. The CCl4 enters the tube at a mass rate of 4.52 x 10-13 kg/s. Using these data and those shown in the drawing, find (a) the mass of CCl4 per second that passes point A and (b) the concentration of CCl4 at point A.

Using the Poiseuille formula, the viscosity of carbon dioxide was measured by comparing its flow rate through a long, narrow tube with that of argon. For the same pressures, the same volume of carbon dioxide passed through the tube in 55 s as argon in 83 s. The viscosity of argon at 25 °C is 208 μP. What is the viscosity of carbon dioxide?
