Find the answer (5.2*10-4) (.1635*107)/ (2.67)
- A.
32
- B.
320
- C.
318.42
- D.
318
Correct Answer
B. 320Explanation
The given expression involves multiplication and division. First, we multiply 5.2 by 10 raised to the power of -4, which gives us 0.00052. Then, we multiply this result by 0.1635 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 7, which gives us 0.00052 * 1,635,000 = 852.2. Finally, we divide this result by 2.67, which gives us 852.2 / 2.67 = 319.25. Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we get 319. Therefore, the correct answer is 320.Rate this question:

How many significant figures in (.03500, 2300) (respectively):
- A.
4 , 4
- B.
5 , 2
- C.
5 , 4
- D.
4 , 2
Correct Answer
D. 4 , 2Explanation
The first number, (.03500), has 4 significant figures because all the zeros between the decimal point and the non-zero digits are considered significant. The second number, 2300, has 2 significant figures because the trailing zeros after the non-zero digits are not considered significant unless there is a decimal point explicitly mentioned.Rate this question:

Convert 126 Kg/S à lbm/S:
- A.
277.78
- B.
0.17
- C.
0.1
- D.
0.209
Correct Answer
A. 277.78Explanation
Converting kilograms to pounds involves multiplying the mass in kilograms by the conversion factor of 2.20462. When we convert 126 kilograms to pounds using this factor, we get approximately 277.78 pounds. This conversion is useful in contexts where imperial measurements are preferred over metric.Rate this question:

The slope and intercept in the following equation (respectively): (y2=a e-b/x)
- A.
B, ln a
- B.
-b, ln a
- C.
Ln a, b
- D.
Ln a, -b/x
Correct Answer
B. -b, ln aExplanation
In the given equation (y2=a e-b/x), the slope is represented by -b and the intercept is represented by ln a. This can be determined by comparing the equation to the standard form of a linear equation (y = mx + b), where m represents the slope and b represents the intercept. Therefore, the correct answer is -b, ln a.Rate this question:

Round the following number to three significant figures (13.35):
- A.
13.3
- B.
13.4
- C.
13.5
- D.
13.0
Correct Answer
B. 13.4Explanation
The number 13.35 has three significant figures. When rounding to three significant figures, we look at the digit in the fourth place (5 in this case). Since it is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the digit in the third place (3) to the next higher number, which is 4. Therefore, the rounded number is 13.4.Rate this question:

In this number (8.300) what is the precision:
- A.
0.0005
- B.
0.005
- C.
5.00
- D.
0.000
Correct Answer
A. 0.0005Explanation
The precision of the number (8.300) is 0.0005. Precision refers to the smallest increment or unit of measurement that can be represented or measured. In this case, the number has four decimal places, and the smallest increment or unit of measurement is 0.0005, which means that any change smaller than 0.0005 cannot be accurately represented or measured in this context.Rate this question:

There is no relationship between g, gc :
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement "there is no relationship between g, gc" means that there is no connection or correlation between the variables g and gc. In other words, the values of g do not affect or influence the values of gc, and vice versa. Therefore, the correct answer is True, indicating that there is indeed no relationship between g and gc.Rate this question:

- C.
5*10-3 bound mole
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. 5*10-3 bound moleExplanation
The correct answer is 5*10-3 bound mole. This means that in 100g of CO2, there are 5*10-3 moles of CO2 molecules that are bound together.Rate this question:

Consider 100g of CO2 calculate: Mass of O atom
- A.
72.72g
- B.
72g
- C.
77.2g
- D.
727.2g
Correct Answer
A. 72.72gExplanation
The molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol. Since there is only one oxygen atom in each molecule of CO2, the molar mass of oxygen is 16.00 g/mol. To find the mass of the oxygen atom in 100g of CO2, we can use the ratio of the molar masses. The molar mass of oxygen is 16.00 g/mol, and the molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol. So, the mass of the oxygen atom in 100g of CO2 is (16.00 g/mol / 44.01 g/mol) * 100g = 36.35g. Therefore, the correct answer is 36.35g.Rate this question:

If open end of a sealed end manometer is exposed to the atmosphere, the device function as:
- A.
Bourdon gauge
- B.
Differential
- C.
Barometer
- D.
None
Correct Answer
C. BarometerExplanation
If the open end of a sealed end manometer is exposed to the atmosphere, the device functions as a barometer. A barometer is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure. In this case, the manometer is open to the atmosphere, allowing it to measure the pressure exerted by the air. This is different from a bourdon gauge, which is used to measure pressure in a closed system, and a differential gauge, which measures the difference in pressure between two points.Rate this question:

- A.
Junction of two dissimilar resistance
- B.
Spectra of emitted radiation
- C.
Electrical resistance
- D.
None
Correct Answer
B. Spectra of emitted radiationExplanation
A pyrometer is an instrument used to measure high temperatures. It does this by measuring the spectrum of radiation emitted by the object being measured. The spectrum of emitted radiation can provide information about the temperature of the object. Therefore, the correct answer is "spectra of emitted radiation."Rate this question:

“manometer ”is categorize pressure measurement device:
- A.
Elastic element methods
- B.
Liquid column methods
- C.
Electrical methods
- D.
None
Correct Answer
B. Liquid column methodsExplanation
A manometer is categorized as a pressure measurement device that uses liquid column methods. This means that it measures pressure by using a column of liquid, such as mercury or water, to determine the pressure exerted on it. The height of the liquid column is directly proportional to the pressure being measured. This method is commonly used in various applications, such as measuring the pressure in a closed container or determining the pressure difference between two points.Rate this question:

Convert this temperature in K, F, R “T= -10 C”:
- A.
K=263 ,F=14 ,R=474
- B.
K=152 ,F= 55,R=684
- C.
K= 198,F=40 ,R=654
- D.
K=452 ,F=23 ,R=500
Correct Answer
A. K=263 ,F=14 ,R=474Explanation
The given temperature is -10 degrees Celsius. To convert it to Kelvin, we add 273 to the Celsius value, giving us 263 Kelvin. To convert it to Fahrenheit, we use the formula F = (C * 9/5) + 32, which gives us 14 degrees Fahrenheit. To convert it to Rankine, we use the formula R = (C + 273.15) * 9/5, giving us 474 Rankine. Therefore, the correct answer is K=263, F=14, R=474.Rate this question:

A mixture of B and T with (Xb =0.5) is fed to a distillation column with a mass flow rate of (950 Kg/h), the distillate has (Xb =0.75) and the mass flow rate of the residue (600 kg/h) determine the mass composition of the residue?
- A.
0.35
- B.
350
- C.
0.75
- D.
None
Correct Answer
A. 0.35Explanation
The mass composition of the residue is 0.35. This can be determined by using the mass balance equation, which states that the mass flow rate of the feed is equal to the sum of the mass flow rates of the distillate and the residue. Since the mass flow rate of the feed is 950 kg/h and the mass flow rate of the residue is 600 kg/h, the mass flow rate of the distillate can be calculated as 950 kg/h - 600 kg/h = 350 kg/h. The mass composition of the residue is then calculated as the mass flow rate of the residue divided by the total mass flow rate of the residue and the distillate, which gives 600 kg/h / (350 kg/h + 600 kg/h) = 0.35.Rate this question:

The process which no input or output is:
- A.
Semi batch
- B.
Semi continuous
- C.
Batch
- D.
continuous
Correct Answer
C. BatchExplanation
Batch processing is a type of process where no input or output is continuously flowing. Instead, it involves processing a set amount of data or tasks at a time. In a batch process, the input is collected, processed together as a batch, and then the output is produced. This differs from continuous processing where input and output are continuously flowing, semi-continuous processing where there is some continuous flow but also some batch processing, and semi-batch processing where there is a combination of batch and continuous processing. Therefore, the correct answer is batch.Rate this question:

The accumulation in steady states is =:
- A.
0
- B.

None
Correct Answer
A. 0Explanation
The accumulation in steady states is 0 because in a steady state, there is no change or accumulation over time. This means that the value remains constant and does not increase or decrease. Therefore, the accumulation in steady states is none or zero.Rate this question:
