Chapter 10, Problem 101RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The density of water of lb in.2 (pounds per square inch) and the mass of

water in pounds present in the given column is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The conversion of units is used in resolving a numerical problem that involves the conversion of one kind of unit into another one. Before applying for any conversion, it is necessary to know the relationship between the two kinds of conversions.

The conversion of a unit is determined by using a simple methodology:

(given quantity)×(conversion method)=(desired quantity).

The conversion of the height of the column of water from feet (ft) to inches (in.) is taken place with the help of the given relationship:

1 ft=12 in.Hence, the conversion factor is as:12 in.1 ft

The conversion of mL to cm3 in the relationship is:

1 cm3=1 mLHence, conversion factor is as:1 mL1 cm3

The conversion of centimeters (cm) to inches (in.) the relationship is:

2.54 cm= 1 in.Hence, conversion factor is as:1 in.2.54 cm

One of the oldest units for atmospheric pressure is Ib in.2 (pounds per square inch, or psi). Calculate the numerical value of the standard atmosphere in these units to three significant figures. Calculate the mass in pounds of a uniform column of water 69.4 ft high having an area of 1.00 in² at its base. (Use the following data: density of mercury = 13.6 g mL-1; density of water = 1.00 g mL-1: 1 mL = 1 cm3; I lb = 454 g; 1 in. = 2.54 cm.) mass of the water column = i Ib/in?
5. An experiment is performed to measure the mass percent of CaCO3(s) in eggshells. Five different samples of CaCO3(s) of known mass react with an excess of 2.0M HCl(aq) in identical sealed, rigid reaction vessels. The pressure of the gas produced is measured with a pressure gauge attached to the reaction vessel. Since the reaction is exothermic, the reaction system is cooled to its original temperature before Cooling the HCl(aq) to a lower temperature than it was in the original experiment the pressure is recorded. The experimental data are used to create the calibration line below. Using eggshells that are more finely powdered than those used in the original experiment 0.10- 0.09 0.08- Using 2.0M CH3COOH(aq) instead of 2.0M HCl(aq) 0.07 * 0.06- Reducing the volume of the reaction vessel 0.05 0.04 CLEAR ALL 0.03- 0.02- 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 Mass of CaCO3(s) (grams) The experiment is repeated with an eggshell sample, and the experimental data are recorded in the table below.

A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengers and 5 crew members from Kansas city (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11800 lb. of Jet A fuel. Jet A fuel is kerosene based, consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, with n = 6 to 16, so the  Carbon:Hydrogen ratio is close to 1:2. During this flight , how much CO2 (in kg) was released into the atmosphere? (assume the combustion of fuel was complete, so all fuel was converted into H2O and CO2).
