(a)
Interpretation:
The standard heat of the formaldehyde formation from methanol and oxygen reaction given by the equation should be calculated.
And standard heat of combustion of hydrogen is given by the equation:
Concept introduction:
The standard heat of combustion is the number of calories or the total energy generated as heat when a certain compound goes through combustion in presence of oxygen under the standard conditions. Generally, a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen in this type of reaction. This is also an exothermic reaction as it generates heat energy.
In Hess’s law, enthalpy change which involved in the chemical reactions are same, it doesn’t matter the steps involved in the reactions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The need of following the Hess’s Law to find the standards of reaction the given equation in sub part (a) should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The standard heat of combustion is the number of calories or the total energy generated as heat when a certain compound goes through combustion in presence of oxygen under the standard conditions. Generally, a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen in this type of reaction. This is also an exothermic reaction as it generates heat energy.
In Hess’s law, enthalpy change which involved in the chemical reactions are same, it doesn’t matter the steps involved in the reactions. This reaction seems to be an endothermic reaction.

- Natural gas having a specific gravity relative to air of 0.60 and a viscosity of 0.011 cP is flowing through a 6-in. Schedule 40 pipe in which is installed a standard sharp-edged orifice equipped with flange taps. The gas is at 100°F and 20lb/in? abs at the upstream tap. The manometer reading is 46.3 in. of water at 60°F. The ratio of specific heats for natural gas is 1.30. The diameter of the orifice is 2.00 in. Calculate the rate of flow of gas through the line in cubic feet.arrow_forwardصورة من s94850121arrow_forward11:01 ☑ canvas.ucsd.edu 口 : ... Page 1 > of 2 Q - ZOOM + 4. Consider the two separate sets of measured data for a silt-loam soil measured by Mualem (1976): (1) suction versus water content, and (2) suction versus relative permeability of unsaturated soil, k/ks. Assume that 0s 0.396, 0res = 0.131, and Ks=5.74×10-7 m/s. a. Using the method of least squares in Excel, compute the best-fit values for αNG (kPa¹) and nvg for the van Genuchten (1980) relationship for data set # 1 (assume m = 1-1/nvG). See the example spreadsheet in the homework folder under the files section of Canvas for help in performing this calculation. b. Repeat part (a) and estimate the λ and ac parameters for the Brooks and Corey (1964) SWRC for data set #1. Note that you may need to include an "if" statement at the air entry suction. c. Plot the data for the SWRC versus the fitted van Genuchten (1980) and Brooks and Corey (1964) curves. Which relationship matches the capillary pressure data better (BC or VG)? Explain…arrow_forward
