Chapter 1.7, Problem 23P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The vertical velocity and kinetic energy of the dropped object is to be determined when it hits the ground.

Concept Introduction:

The kinetic energy (K.E) is expressed as:

K.E=12mv22

Here, mass of object is m and vertical velocity is v2.

3. Nitric oxide is produced in the body by several different enzymes and acts as a signal that controls blood pressure, long-term memory, and other critical functions. The major route for removing NO from biological fluids is via reaction with O2 to give NO₂ 2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g) The following table lists kinetics data for the reaction of NO with O2 at 25°C: Experiment 1 [NO] (M) 0.0235 2 0.0235 3 0.0470 4 0.0470 (a) Determine the rate law for the reaction (b) calculate the rate constant.

A closed system of 122 moles of an ideal gas with constant-pressure heat capacity of cp = 2.5R expands isobarically from 52°C and 4.9 bar to 137°C, with a thermodynamic efficiency of 0.74. How much total work is involved in this process? Please report your answer to the nearest whole kJ and don't forget the sign: "-" if the work is negative, no sign if the work is positive.
Liquid toluene at 20°C is reversibly and isothermally compressed from 2.94 bar to 7.7 bar. What is the specific work, in J/kg, required to accomplish this? Some properties of liquid toluene at 20°C: β = 1.05 x 10-3 ºC-1 ,  κ = 8.96 x 10-5 bar-1 , V = 1154 cm3 kg-1. Please report your answer to 3 SF. Be very, very careful of units!
