The development of fusion energy has not been successful so far because of the high temperatures needed for fusion to occur. It’

s not clear when we will have the technology to accomplish this. Do you think the government should continue to fund fusion research? Give your reasons.

Government  should continue to fund fusion energy research because:

  1. it potentially will produce large amounts of energy
  2. scientific research could discover more feasible methods of fusion energy production
  3. it is a very clean form of energy

<h3>What is fusion energy?</h3>

Fusion energy is the energy produced from fusion reactions.

Fusion reactions are a type of nuclear reaction in which small atomic nucleus are fused together to produce larger atomic nucleus with the release of large amounts of energy.

The Sun produces its energy from fusion reactions between hydrogen atoms to produce helium nucleus. This reaction takes place at very high temperatures.

It is important that the government continue to fund fusion energy research because:

  1. it potentially will produce large amounts of energy
  2. more scientific research could discover alternative cheaper methods of fusion
  3. it is a very clean form of energy

In conclusion, the continuous government funding will make it possible to finally discover cheaper and more feasible ways to produce fusion energy.

Some hydrogen gas is enclosed within a chamber being held at 200^\ { C} with a volume of 0.025 \rm m^3. The chamber is fitted wi
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The final volume is 0.039 m^3

Explanation:

<u>Data:</u>

Initial temperature: T1=200C

Final temperature: T2=200C

Initial pressure: P1=1.50 \times10^6 Pa

Final pressure: P2=0.950 \times10^6 Pa

Initial volume: V1=0.025m^{3}

Final volume: V2=?

Assuming hydrogen gas as a perfect gas it satisfies the perfect gas equation:

\frac{PV}{T}=nR (1)

With P the pressure, V the volume, T the temperature, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of moles. If no gas escapes the number of moles of the gas remain constant so the right side of equation (1) is a constant, that allows to equate:

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Subscript 2 referring to final state and 1 to initial state.

solving for V2:

V_{2}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}P_{2}}=\frac{(1.50 \times10^6)(0.025)(200)}{(200)(0.950 \times10^6)}

V_{2}=0.039 m^3

When an aluminum bar is connected between a hot reservoir at 720 K and a cold reservoir at 358 K, 3.00 kJ of energy is transferr
disa [49]

Answer:

a.  -4.166 J/K

b. 8.37 J/K

c. 4.21 J/K

d. entropy always increases.

Explanation:

Given :

Temperature at hot reservoir , $T_h$ = 720 K

Temperature at cold reservoir , $T_c$ = 358 K

Transfer of heat, dQ = 3.00 kJ = 3000 J

(a). In the hot reservoir, the change of entropy is given by:

$dS_h= -\frac{dQ}{t_h}$              (the negative sign shows the loss of heat)

$dS_h= -\frac{3000}{720}$

      =  -4.166 J/K

(b)  In the cold reservoir, the change of entropy is given by:

$dS_c= \frac{dQ}{t_c}$              

$dS_c= \frac{3000}{358}$

      =  8.37 J/K

(c). The entropy change in the universe is given by:

$dS=dS_h+dS_c$

    = -4.16+8.37

   = 4.21 J/K

(d). According to the concept of entropy, the entropy of the universe is always increasing and never decreasing for an irreversible process. If the entropy of universe decreases, it violates the laws of thermodynamics. Hence, in part (c), the result have to be positive.
