The resistance of the copper wire is 0.1039 Ω.

In calculating the resistance of a wire, the formula below can be used.

Resistance = (Resistivity*Length of wire)/(Cross-section Area)

The resistivity of copper wire is 1.72 x 10-8 Ωm. The length of the wire is 20.0 m and the area of the wire is 3.3103x10-6 square meters. The area of the wire is calculated by using the formula below.

Cross-section area= (π/4)(diameter)^2

Cross-section area=(π/4)(2.053 mm or 2.053x10-3 m)^2

Cross-section area= 3.3103x10-6 square meters

Calculating for the resistance of the wire:

Resistance= (1.72x10-8 Ωm * 20.0 m)/( 3.3103x10-6 m2)

Resistance=0.1039 Ω

Chloroform is a liquid once used for anesthetic. What is the volume of 5.0 g of chloroform? The density of chloroform 1.49 g/mL

mario62 [17]

Answer:

3.3557047 mL

Explanation:

The density can be found using the following formula:

$d=\frac{m}{v}$

Let's rearrange the formula to find the volume, $v$ .

$d*v=\frac{m}{v}*v$

$d*v=m$

$\frac{d*v}{d} =\frac{m}{d}$

$v=\frac{m}{d}$

The volume can be found by dividing the mass by the density. The mass of the chloroform is 5 grams and the density is 1.49 grams per milliliter. Therefore,

$m= 5g \\d= 1.49 g/mL$
