Naturally occurring uranium contains about 0.7% of the fissionable isotope 235U, with almost all the rest 238U. Since gaseous 235UF6 diffuses about 0.4% faster than 235UF6 , diffusion produces a mixture that is slightly enriched in 235UF6 . Multiple diffusion steps – hundreds are needed – can then produce the necessary 235U concentration for use in reactors or bombs. A sample of 235UF6 gas in a 15,000 L cylinder exerts a pressure of 167 kPa. The root-mean-square speed of the 235UF6 molecules is 159 m/s. What is the temperature of the sample of 235UF6 gas? _______K
5. Wine turns into vinegar through the oxidation of ethanol (C2H6O) to acetic acid (C2H4O2) via aerobic bacteria from a range of genera including Acetobacter and Acidiphilium known as acetic acid bacteria (AAB). In a 750 ml wine bottle, there is 730 ml of wine (12% ethanol, by volume) and 20 ml head space. A. Assuming the air trapped in the head space is 21% oxygen (atmospheric O2 at 280 g/m3) and such bacteria are present, how much acetic acid will be formed before the bottle is opened? Half of the energy that is produced is going to biomass build up. Use C8H6N2O for biomass. Assume no sulfites are present in the wine (these are sometimes added to prevent enzymatic activity that drives these reactions). B. If the cork leaks so that the head space is exchanged once per day (20 ml of new air replaces the old every 24 hours), how long will it take for all of the ethanol to be converted to acetic acid, assuming the bacteria survive? Assume no sulfites are present in the wine. Looking…

Combustible vapor-air mixtures are flammable over a limitedrange of concentrations. The minimum volume % of vapor thatgives a combustible mixture is called the lower flammable limit(LFL). Generally, the LFL is about half the stoichiometric mix-ture, the concentration required for complete combustion of thevapor in air. (a) If oxygen is 20.9 vol % of air, estimate the LFL forn-hexane, C₆H₁₄. (b) What volume (in mL) of n-hexane (d=0.660 g/cm³) is required to produce a flammable mixture of hexane in 1.000 m³of air at STP?
