Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 3.6 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level

Respuesta :

Answer:

The  value is  [tex]V_n = 2.2498 \ m^3[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The volume of  liquid nitrogen is  [tex]V_n = 3.6 \ L= 3.6 *10^{-3} \ m^3[/tex]

   The  density of  nitrogen at gaseous form   is  [tex]\rho_n = 1.2929 \ kg/m^3[/tex]  =  The dry air at sea level

   

Generally the density of nitrogen at liquid form is  

         [tex]\rho _l = 808 \ kg/m^3[/tex]

And this is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\rho_l = \frac{m}{V_l }[/tex]

=>   [tex]m = \rho_l * V_l[/tex]

Now the density of  gaseous nitrogen is

       [tex]\rho_n = \frac{m}{V_n }[/tex]

=>   [tex]m = \rho_n * V_n[/tex]

Given that the mass is constant

       [tex]\rho_n * V_n = \rho_l * V_l[/tex]

        [tex]1.2929* V_n = 808 * 3.6*10^{-3}[/tex]

=>   [tex]V_n = 2.2498 \ m^3[/tex]
