How much heat is required to change 200 mL of ice at -22°C (at typical Freezer temperature) into steam

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

611.064 kJ

Explanation:

Given :

m = 200 mL = 200 g

Specific heat of ice = 2.06 J/g°C

Q = mcΔt

Δt = 0 - (-22) = 22

Q1 = 200 * 2.06 * 22 = 9064 J

Q2 = Melt 0 °C solid ice into 0 °C liquid water:

Q2 = m · ΔHf ; ΔHf = heat of fusion of water = 334j/g

Q2 = 200 * 334 = 66800 J

Q3 : Heat to convert from 0°C to 100°C

Q3 = mcΔt ; c = 4.19 J/g°C ; Δt = (100 - 0) = 100

Q3 = 200 * 4.19 * 100 = 83800 J

Q4: heat required to boil water to steam

Q = m · ΔHv

Hv = heat of vaporization of water = 2257 J/g

Q4 = 200 * 2257 = 451400 J

Total Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4

Q = 9064 + 66800 + 83800 + 451400

Q = 611,064 Joules

Q = 611.064 kJ

A street light is at the top of a 13.0 ft. tall pole. A man 6.3 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 3.5 feet/sec al

amm1812

Answer:

$\dfrac{dL}{dt}=5.82 \ ft/s$

Explanation:

given,

street light height = 13 ft

man height = 6.3 ft

speed of the man = 3.5 ft/sec

$\dfrac{H}{L} = \dfrac{h}{l}$

$\dfrac{H}{L} = \dfrac{h}{L-x}$

$\dfrac{L}{H} = \dfrac{L-x}{h}$

hL = H(L-x)

hL = HL-Hx

$L = \dfrac{Hx}{H-h}$

$L = \dfrac{13x}{13-6.3}$

L = 1.94 x

$\dfrac{dL}{dt}=\dfrac{dL}{dx}\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dL}{dt}=1.94\times 3$

$\dfrac{dL}{dt}=5.82 \ ft/s$

In an experiment, a variable, position-dependent force F(x)F(x) is exerted on a block of mass 1.0kg1.0kg that is moving on a hor

leonid [27]

Answer:

The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5, the block's initial velocity, and the value of F(f).

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 1.0 kg

Dependent force = F(x)

Frictional force = F(f)

Suppose, the following information would students need to test the hypothesis,

(A) The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5 and the value of F(f).

(B) The function a(t) for the time interval of travel and the value of F(f).

(D) The function a(t) for the time interval of travel, the time it takes the block to move 5 m, and the value of F(f).

(E) The block's initial velocity, the time it takes the block to move 5 m, and the value of F(f).

We know that,

The work done by a force is given by,

$W=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{F(x)\ dx}$ .....(I)

Where, $F(x)$ = net force

We know, the net force is the sum of forces.

So, $\sum{F}=ma$

According to question,

We have two forces F(x) and F(f)

So, the sum of these forces are

$F(x)+(-F(f))=ma$

Here, frictional force is negative because F(f) acts against the F(x)

Now put the value in equation (I)

$W=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}$

We need to find the value of $\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}$

Using newton's second law

$\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{ma\ dx}$ ...(II)

We know that,

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

Put the value of a in equation (II)

$\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{m\dfrac{dv}{dt}dx}$

$\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\int_{v_{0}}^{v_{f}}{mv\ dv}$

$\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\dfrac{mv_{f}^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv_{0}^2}{2}$

Now, the work done by the net force on the block is,

$W=\dfrac{mv_{f}^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv_{0}^2}{2}$

The work done by the net force on the block is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the block.

Hence, The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5, the block's initial velocity, and the value of F(f).

(C) is correct option.

Answer:

Tree ring patterns have recently been proven to match up with historical drought records and have revealed everything from changing indigenous forest management in the Central Amazon to the climate patterns that caused ancient Rome to rise and fall.
