If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.

What change in entropy occurs when a 0.15 kg ice cube at -18 °C is transformed into steam at 120 °c 4.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: The change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

Explanation:

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)H_2O(s)(-18^oC,255K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\\2.)H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\\3.)H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\\4.)H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\\5.)H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(120^oC,393K)$

Pressure is taken as constant.

To calculate the entropy change for same phase at different temperature, we use the equation:

$\Delta S=m\times C_{p,m}\times \ln (\frac{T_2}{T_1})$ .......(1)

where,

$\Delta S$ = Entropy change

$C_{p,m}$ = specific heat capacity of medium

m = mass of ice = 0.15 kg = 150 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

$T_2$ = final temperature

$T_1$ = initial temperature

To calculate the entropy change for different phase at same temperature, we use the equation:

$\Delta S=m\times \frac{\Delta H_{f,v}}{T}$ .......(2)

where,

$\Delta S$ = Entropy change

m = mass of ice

$\Delta H_{f,v}$ = enthalpy of fusion of vaporization

T = temperature of the system

Calculating the entropy change for each process:

For process 1:

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,s}=2.06J/gK\\T_1=255K\\T_2=273K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_1=150g\times 2.06J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{273K}{255K})\\\\\Delta S_1=21.1J/K$

For process 2:

We are given:

$m=150g\\\Delta H_{fusion}=334.16J/g\\T=273K$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\Delta S_2=\frac{150g\times 334.16J/g}{273K}\\\\\Delta S_2=183.6J/K$

For process 3:

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,l}=4.184J/gK\\T_1=273K\\T_2=373K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_3=150g\times 4.184J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{373K}{273K})\\\\\Delta S_3=195.9J/K$

For process 4:

We are given:

$m=150g\\\Delta H_{vaporization}=2259J/g\\T=373K$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\Delta S_2=\frac{150g\times 2259J/g}{373K}\\\\\Delta S_2=908.4J/K$

For process 5:

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,g}=2.02J/gK\\T_1=373K\\T_2=393K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_5=150g\times 2.02J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{393K}{373K})\\\\\Delta S_5=15.8J/K$

Total entropy change for the process = $\Delta S_1+\Delta S_2+\Delta S_3+\Delta S_4+\Delta S_5$

Total entropy change for the process = $[21.1+183.6+195.9+908.4+15.8]J/K=1324.8J/K$

Hence, the change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

What is the proper way to start a fire?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

STEP 1: Gather Your Tools. There's a bit more to building a great campfire than simply placing a few logs in a heap ... If your site has a fire ring, you'll probably have to push the ash and charcoal from ... (Remember, tinder is the really light, quick burning material.) 1. ... Then build a larger teepee of firewood over the kindling.

Rank these temperatures from hottest to coldest: 32° F,32° C, and 32 K 320 F> 32° C>32 K 32°C 32° F 32 K 32° F 32 K 32° c

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

32 C > 32 F > 32 K

Explanation:

32 F, 32 C, 32 K

Let T1 = 32 F

T2 = 32 C

T3 = 32 K

Convert all the temperatures in degree C

The relation between F and C is given by

(F - 32) / 9 = C / 100

so, (32 - 32) / 9 = C / 100

C = 0

So, T1 = 32 F = 0 C

The relation between c and K is given by

C = K - 273 = 32 - 273 = - 241

So, T3 = 32 K = - 241 C

So, T 1 = 0 C, T2 = 32 c, T3 = - 241 C

Thus, T2 > T1 > T3

32C > 32 F > 32 K
