Answer: Due to low pressure of air at high altitudes.

Explanation:

At high altitudes, the air pressure is very low due to low density of air molecules as compared to air pressure at sea level. Thus, water boils at higher temperature. It takes more time for water to boil and that is why an egg at high altitudes takes longer to hard boil than at sea level.

Explain what effect losing a gamma ray has on a nucleus.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Hi, Since energy levels in the nucleus are much higher than those in the gas, the nucleus will cool down by emitting a more energetic electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray . Gamma ray emission causes no change in the number of particles in the nucleus meaning both the atomic number and mass number remain the same.

Answer:

a) $Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW$ , b) $\Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}$

Explanation:

a) The heat transfered to the egg is computed by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$Q_{in} +U_{sys,1} - U_{sys,2} = 0$

$Q_{in} = U_{sys,2} - U_{sys,1}$

$Q_{in} = \rho_{egg}\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot r^{3}\right)\cdot c \cdot (T_{2}-T_{1})$

$Q_{in} = \left(1020\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\right)\cdot (0.025\,m)^{3}\cdot \left(3.32\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (70\,^{\textdegree}C - 8\,^{\textdegree}C)$
