Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In winter's, temperature of atmosphere is low and due to this molecules of air present in the tire come closer to each other as they gain potential energy and loses kinetic energy.

Hence, air pressure decreases and there is need to fill more air in the tire.

Whereas is summer's, temperature is high so, molecules of air inside the tire gain kinetic energy and move rapidly from one place to another due to number of collisions. So, air pressure increases and there is no need to fill more air inside the tire.

Thus, we can conclude that the temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.

Explain why energy sources do not have 100% efficiency. Why do you think some have lower efficiencies?

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Energy sources do not have 100% efficiency because <em>the processes of energy conversion to usable forms involves energy losses. </em>

Some have lower efficiencies due to; <u>energy losses in form of heat</u> during conversion, <u>poor technology applied during conversion</u> of energy and<u> lack of desire equipment</u> to use in the energy conversion system.

Explanation:

The desired form of energy for use is derived from conversion of energy from the source using an energy converter into another form which is usable. The efficiency of the energy converter is calculated as;

л = output energy/input energy

The efficiency of energy is limited to the cost of equipment required for conversion from energy source by the energy converter to a form which is usable. Additionally, because energy sources are scarce, the technology to use in energy conversion is a factor affecting energy efficiency in that high efficiency will require advanced technology with better equipment leading higher costs of that energy form. when heat losses are involved during energy conversion, efficiency lowers, thus its better if such losses are used as energy input in another system.

Dioxane, C4H8O2, has an enthalpy of fusion of 145.8 J g–1 and its melting point temperature is 11.0 °C. How much heat is require

kumpel [21]

Answer:

20703.6J

Explanation:

Quantity of heat (Q) = mass of dioxane × enthalpy of fusion

Mass of dioxane = 142g

Enthalpy of fusion of dioxane = 145.8J/g

Q = 142g × 145.8J/g = 20703.6J

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 226 Liters of oxygen

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

We use the equation;

LiClO4 (s) → 2O2 (g) + LiCl, to get the moles of oxygen;

Moles of LiClO4;

(500 g LiClO4) / (106.3916 g LiClO4/mol)

= 4.6996 moles

Moles of oxygen;

But, for every 1 mol LiClO4, two moles of O2 are produced;

= 9.3992 moles of Oxygen

V = nRT / P

= (9.3992 mol) x (8.3144621 L kPa/K mol) x (21 + 273) K / (101.5 kPa)

= 226 L of oxygen

A common anesthetic in dentistry known as nitronox consists of a mixture of dinitrogen oxide, n2o, and oxygen gas, o2, which is

Nesterboy [21]

Anesthetic in dentistry consists of a mixture of dinitrogen oxide (N₂O) and oxygen gas (O₂), which is administered through an inhaler over the nose. Total pressure of the mixture ( $P_{total}$ ) is sum of partial pressure of N₂O ( $p_{N_{2}O }$ ) and partial pressure of O₂, ( $p_{O_{2} }$ ).
