capitalized

If a unit is named after a person, it is capitalized. So you write 10 Newtons, or 10 N, but 10 meters, or 10 m. .

A chemistry student wants to study the adsorption behavior of a gas on a solid surface. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm experiment is conducted at temperature T. After analyzing the data, the student finds that the maximum adsorption capacity (at saturation) is q moles of the gas per unit area of the solid surface. The student also determines the value of the Langmuir constant K, which is proportional to the affinity of the gas for the surface. Now, the student needs to determine the fraction of the surface that is covered by the gas molecules at a certain pressure P below the saturation

A chemistry student needs to find the rate of a chemical reaction for a given set of concentrations and time, given the following reaction: 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) -> 2H2O (g)If the initial concentrations of H2 and O2 are 0.5 M and 0.2 M, and the reaction rate is 0.12 M/s, what is the concentration of H2O after 10 seconds?

Here's a precise problem for a chemistry student to solve related to designing a heat exchanger for a specific process:A chemical plant produces a product with a flow rate of 500 liters per hour, and it needs to be cooled from its initial temperature of 120°C to its final temperature of 80°C before it can be packaged for shipment. The cooling medium that will be used is water, which is available at a flow rate of 400 liters per hour and an initial temperature of 20°C. Design a heat exchanger to cool the product and determine the required surface area of the heat exchanger if the overall heat transfer coefficient is 500 W/m2K.
