Two gases X and Y are found in the atmosphere in only trace amounts because they decompose quickly. When exposed to ultraviolet light the half-life of X is 90.min, while that of Y is 0.50h. Suppose an atmospheric scientist studying these decompositions fills a transparent 10.0L flask with X and Y and exposes the flask to UV light. Initially, the partial pressure of X is 75.0% greater than the partial pressure of Y. As both gases decompose, will the partial...

  (a) Dry saturated steam at a temperature of 180ºC is to be produced in a fire tube boiler from the cooling of 50 000 kg h–1 of flue gases from a pressurised combustion process. The gases enter the tubes of the boiler at 1600ºC and leave at 200ºC. The feed water is externally preheated to 180ºC before entering the boiler. The mean specific heat capacity of the flue gases is 1.15 kJ kg–1 K–1. The latent heat of vaporisation...
