Convection currents can happen in liquids and gases. For example when air is heated it becomes less dense and rises. This means that cooler more dense air comes down and is also heated rising up above more cooler air etc. This creates a convection current.
Here is a diagram of a hot water tank heater:

Calculate the relative rate of effusion for the orange to blue spheres. The root-mean-square speed for the orange spheres is 565

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Relative rate of effusion for the orange to blue spheres = 1.531

Explanation:

Rate of effusion of Orange / Rate of effusion of blue = [Mblue / Morange]^1/2

Vrms = sqrt [(3RT/M)]

Vorange / Vblue = [ Mblue / Morange]^1/2

Rate of effusion of Orange / Rate of effusion of blue = 565/ 369 = 1.531

how much heat, in terms in q, would it take to produce the change in temperature indicated in the picture? what is your reasonin

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

1. q.

2. 2q.

3. 3q.

4. 6q.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the specific heat capacity of the liquid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 25 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 20 °C

Heat (Q) = q

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Q = MCΔT

q = 25 × C × 20

q = 500C

Divide both side by 500

C = q/500

C = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of liquid is 2×10¯³ qg°C

Now, we shall determine the heat required to produce the various change in temperature as follow:

2. Mass (m) = 50 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 20 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Heat (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 50 × 2×10¯³ × 20

Q = 2q.

Therefore, the heat required is 2q.

3. Mass (m) = 25 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 60 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Heat (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 25 × 2×10¯³ × 60

Q = 3q.

Therefore, the heat required is 3q.

4. Mass (m) = 50 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 60 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Heat (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 50 × 2×10¯³ × 60

Q = 6q.

Therefore, the heat required is 6q.
