The level of toluene (a flammable hydrocarbon) in a storage tank may fluctuate between 10 and 400 cm from the top of the tank. since it is impossible to see inside the tank, an open-end manometer with water or mercury as the manometer fluid is to be used to determine the toluene level. one leg of the manometer is attached to the tank 500 cm from the top. a nitrogen blanket at atmospheric pressure is maintained over the tank contents. felder, richard m.; rousseau, ronald w.; bullard, lisa g.. elementary principles of chemical processes, 4th edition (page 81). wiley. kindle edition.

The complete question is shown on the first and second uploaded image
Answer:
When water is used the reading is [tex] R = 2281.6 \ cm [/tex]
When mercury is used the reading is [tex] R = 23.83 \ cm [/tex]
The best fluid to use is mercury because for water a slight change in toluene level will cause a large change in height .
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the leg of the manometer to the top of the tank is d = 500cm
The toluene level where in the tank where the height of the manometer fluid level in the open arm is equal to the height where the manometer is connected to the tank is h =150 cm
The manometer reading is R
Generally at the point where the height of the open arm is equal to the height of the of the point connected to the tank ,
The pressure at the height of the both arms of the manometer corresponding to the base of the tank are equal
i.e [tex]P_1 = P_2[/tex]
Here [tex]P_1[/tex] is the pressure of the manometer at the point corresponding to the base of the tank and this is mathematically represented as
[tex] P_{atm} + P_1 = P_{atm} + P_t[/tex]
Here [tex]P_t[/tex] is the pressure due to the toluene level in the tank and in the arm of the manometer connected to the tank and this is mathematically represented as
[tex]P_t = \rho_t * g * h_i[/tex]
Here
[tex]\rho_t [/tex] is the density of toluene with value [tex]\rho_t = 867 kg/m^3 [/tex]
[tex]h_i[/tex] is the height of the connected arm above the point equivalent to the base of the tank , this mathematically represented as
[tex]h_i = d - h + R[/tex]
and [tex] P_2 [/tex] is the the pressure at the open arm of the manometer at the point equivalent to the base of the base of the tank and this is mathematically represented as
[tex] P_2 = \rho_f * g * h_f [/tex]
Here
[tex]\rho_f[/tex] is the density of the fluid in use , if it is water the density is
[tex]\rho_w = 1000 \ kg /m^3 [/tex]
and if it is mercury the density is
[tex]\rho_m = 13600 \ kg /m^3 [/tex]
[tex]h_f[/tex] is the height of the fluid in the open arm of the manometer from the point equivalent to the base of the tank which is equivalent the manometer reading R
So when the fluid is water we have
[tex] P_{atm} + \rho_t* g *(d - h + R) = P_{atm} + \rho_f * g * h_f[/tex]
=> [tex] \rho_t* (d - h + R) = \rho_w * h_f[/tex]
=> [tex] 867 (500 - 150 + R) = 1000 * R [/tex]
=> [tex] R = 2281.6 \ cm [/tex]
So when the fluid is mercury we have
[tex] \rho_t* (d - h + R) = \rho_m * h_f[/tex]
=> [tex] 867 (500 - 150 + R) = 13600 * R [/tex]
=> [tex] R = 23.83 \ cm [/tex]
The difference in the mercury reading for mercury due to the fact that they have different densities as we have seen in this calculation
So the best fluid to use is mercury because for water a slight change in toluene level will cause a large change in height .

Explanation:
A student uses two identical balls to perform an investigation. The students throws ball a with a horizontal velocity from a height of 10 meters. At the same time another students drops ball b from the same height without horizontal velocity. Neglecting air resistance what can you expect to when the balls will land?
Answer:
Both objects will land at the same time
Explanation:
The ball projected with a horizontal velocity has a vertical component of velocity which is independent of the horizontal velocity. The horizontal component of the velocity enables the ball to travel a horizontal distance, s The initial component of the vertical download velocity is zero.
Similarly, the object dropped from the height above the ground has an initial vertical velocity zero.
Neglecting air resistance, objects falling near the surface of the earth experience the same acceleration due to gravitational force of the earth, g = 9.8 meters per second squared (9.8 m/s²). So the acceleration is the same for the objects, and consequently their velocity is also increasing at a constant rate. After some time, t, both objects would have been accelerated downwards to the same extent, and would thus land at same time, t.
A runner is jogging in a straight line at a steady vr= 7.3 km/hr. When the runner is L= 2.1 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying straight from the runner to the finish line at vb= 29.2 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). When the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies directly back to the runner After this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. The bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. How far does the bird travel from the beginning (including the distance traveled to the first encounter
Answer:
Explanation:
Time taken by jogger to travel the distance to finishing line = 2.1 / 7.3
= .28767 hr
Bird will keep flying for this time period
distance covered by bird = speed x time
= 29.2 x .28767 km
= 8.4 km .

The MSDS for chloroform indicates that it is a clear liquid that has a pleasant smell and substantial vapor pressure. People should avoid inhaling its vapors, and it is sensitive to light. Malik needs 10 mls of chloroform for an experiment.
According to this information, how should he safely pour the chloroform?
He should locate the chloroform stored in a transparent container in chemical storage and pour directly into his beaker from that location.
He should locate the chloroform stored in a transparent container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour.
He should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour.
He should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and pour directly into his beaker from that location.
Answer:
The correct option is the third option
Explanation:
Firstly, it must be noted that chemicals/reagents that are sensitive to sunlight are stored in dark/amber container in the laboratory. Hence, the chloroform can only be found in an amber/dark bottle.
Also, reagents/chemicals that release poisonous/offensive gases are handled in the fume cupboard in the laboratory. Thus, If Malik is going to pour the chloroform, he should pour it in a fume cupboard to avoid inhaling it because of the toxicity of it's vapor.
From the above explanation, it can be deduced that Malik should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour.
Answer:
He should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour.

Embarking on a road trip, you hope to average a speed of 90.0 km/hr. Driving through bad weather, you finally reach the midpoint (half the distance) of your trip, but realize that you have only been averaging 5.0 X 10^1 km/hr. How fast would you have to drive the second half of the trip to keep your desired arrival time? *
Answer:
Explanation:
average speed = 90 km / hr
Let the total distance be 2 d .
time required to cover the time = 2 d / 90
time taken to cover distance d at 50 km /h = d / 50
time required to cover the nd half = 2 d / 90 - d / 50
.02222 d - .02 d = .002222 d
speed required = d/2 / .002222d
1 / 2 x .002222
= 225 km /h .

otd-2)A softball is thrown straight up into the air at 25 m/s. if it returns to the thrower after 5.0 seconds, how high did it go?
One way:
The ball returned to the thrower's hand after 5 seconds. It spent 2.5 seconds going up, and 2.5 seconds coming back down.
Use the formula Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time squared)
Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (2.5 sec)
Distance = (1/2) (9.8 m/s ²) (6.25 sec² )
Distance = (4.9 m/s²) (6.25 sec²)
Distance = 30.63 meters
Another way:
The thrower threw the ball straight up at 25 m/s.
It sailed upward for 2.5 seconds.
At the top of its trip, before it started falling, its speed was zero.
Its average speed was (1/2) (25+0) = 12.5 m/s
At an average speed of 12.5 m/s for 2.5s, the ball rose (12.5x2.5) = 31.25m.
(Why are the two answers different ?
Because if the ball was thrown straight up at 25 m/s, it would actually return to the thrower in 5.1 seconds, not 5.0 seconds.
So if you use the acceleration of gravity to solve the problem, you get one answer, but if you use 5.0sec to solve it, you get a slightly different one.)
