Chemistry

Sophie [7]2 years ago

The resistance of the heating element is 21.61 Ω

Given

The power dissipated = 1500 W

Voltage = 180 V

We know that

Power = Voltage * Current

⇒ Power / Voltage = Current

⇒ 1500 W/180 V = Current

⇒ 8.33 A = Current

In order to calculate the resistance of the heating element. We Have to apply the formula

Power = (Current)^2 * Resistance

⇒ Resistance = Power / (Current)^2

⇒ Resistance = 1500 W/ (8.33) ^2

⇒ Resistance = 21.61 Ω

Hence the resistance of the heating element is 21.61 Ω

The coefficient for sulfuric acid wen reaction between calcium phosphate and phosphoric acid  occurs is

three (3)

<h2>explanation</h2>

write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction

that is

Ca3(PO4)2 + 3 H2SO4 →2 H3PO4 + 3CaSO4

since coefficient is number in front of a chemical formula  the coefficient of H2SO4 is 3
