Let  R₁  and R₂ be the  two Resistance

R₁ - Resistance of 1st resistor

R₂ - Resistance of 2nd resistor

V = Voltage = 12V

I = O.31A ( in series)

I  = 1.6 A ( in parallel)

when two resistance connected in series

Rs = R₁ + R₂

V = IRs = 12 /0.31 V

R₁+R₂ = 38.700Ω   (equation1.)

When two resistance connected in parallel

    R_{p} =\frac { R_{1} R_{2}}{R_{1} + R_{2}  }

V = I Rp

V=  I (R₂ R₁ /R₁ +R₂)

R₁ R₂ = 290.25 Ω  

As we know

(R₁ - R₂ ) ² = (R₁ + R₂ ) ² - 4R1R2

Using above values we get,

 (R₁ - R₂ ) ²  = (38.70) ²  - 4x 290.25

 (R₁ - R₂ ) ²   = 336.69  Ω  

R₁ - R₂ = 18.34     (equation 2 )

Using equation 1 and 2 we get

R₁+ R₂ = 38.70 52

R₁ - R₂ = 18.34

R₁ = 28.535 Ω  

Using the value of  R₁ in equation 1 we get

R₂ = 38·700 -  28.535

RR₂ = 10.125 Ω  

R₁ = 28. 535 v  and   R₂  10.125 Ω

In ionic bonds what happens to electrons?
OverLord2011 [107]
I think the correct answer from the choices would be that metals donate electrons to nonmetals. Ionic bonding involves transfer of valence electrons. The metal looses its valence electrons which makes it a cation while the nonmetal accepts these electrons.

An oxygen molecule is adsorbed onto a small patch of the surface of a catalyst. It's known that the molecule is adsorbed on of p
FromTheMoon [43]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

An oxygen molecule is adsorbed onto a small patch of the surface of a catalyst. It's known that the molecule is adsorbed on 1 of 36 possible sites for adsorption. Calculate the entropy of this system.

Explanation:

It is known that Boltzmann formula of entropy is as follows.

             s = k ln W

where,   k = Boltzmann constant

              W = number of energetically equivalent possible microstates or configuration of the system

In the given case, W = 36. Now, we will put the given values into the above formula as follows.

                  s = k ln W

                    = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} ln (36)        

                    = 4.945 \times 10^{-23} J/K

Thus, we can conclude that the entropy of this system is 4.945 \times 10^{-23} J/K.
