Achemistry student accidentally drops a large mercury thermometer and it breaks. the thermometer contained 2 grams of mercury (hg), a potent neurotoxin. the hg leaks out and pools together into a droplet on the floor of the laboratory. the occupational safety and health administration (osha) sets the permissible exposure limit (pel) for mercury vapor in air at 12 parts per billion, by volume. at no time should anyone be exposed to mercury vapor above this threshold. the molar mass of hg is 201 g/mol. the temperature and pressure in the lab are 14.7 psia and 70°f, respectively.

Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.14 mpa and -10°c at a rate of 0.05 ka/s and leaves at 0.8 mpa and 50°c. the refrigerant is cooied in the condenser to 0.72 mpa and 26'c. it is then throttled to 0.15 mpa. sketch the t-s diagram for the system and evaluate: 6) the rate of heat removai from the refrigerated space (kw), it) the power input to the compressor (kw), ii) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor (%), and iv) the cop of the refrigerator.
