Agas has weight of 5 pounds and a volume of 100 cubic feet. what's the specific volume of this gas

In thermodynamics, specific volume is considered to be an intrinsic property of matter. What we meant by intrinsic property is that, the value of this property does not change no matter the size of the sample. This is opposite to weight or volume which changes depending on the size of the sample.

By mathematical definition, specific volume is the ratio of the substance’s volume to its mass. Or in other words, this is the reciprocal of density.

The formula for density is:

density = mass / volume

Since specific volume is reciprocal so:

Specific volume = 1 / density = volume / mass

Calculating:

Specific volume = 100 ft^3 / 5 pounds

Specific volume = 20 ft^3 / pound

Or when asked in units of m^3 / kg, we convert:

Specific volume = (20 ft^3 / pound) (2.2 pound / kg) (1 m^3 / 35.3147 ft^3)

Specific volume = 1.246 m^3 / kg

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
