When a steady current flows through a resistor, the resistor heats up. We say that "electrical energy is dissipated" by the resi

stor, that is, converted into heat. But if energy is dissipated, where did it come from? Did it come from the voltage source through the wires?

Answer:

The dissipated energy in a resistor comes from the potential electric energy of a current source. This is known as the Joule effect. In fact, this energy is carried by the wires until the resistor.

for an ideal monoatomic gas, the internal energy U os due to the kinetic energy and U=3/2RT per mole.show that cv=3/2R per mole
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

i. Cv =3R/2

ii. Cp = 5R/2

Explanation:

i. Cv = Molar heat capacity at constant volume

Since the internal energy of the ideal monoatomic gas is U = 3/2RT and Cv = dU/dT

Differentiating U with respect to T, we have

= d(3/2RT)/dT

= 3R/2

ii. Cp - Molar heat capacity at constant pressure

Cp = Cv + R

substituting Cv into the equation, we have

Cp = 3R/2 + R

taking L.C.M

Cp = (3R + 2R)/2

Cp = 5R/2

2. A solution that contains a small amount of salt and a large amount of water is said to be a _______ solution.
koban [17]
2. A dilute solution means that the amount of solvent (water, for this particular case) is significantly larger than the solute (salt). Thus, the answer is D. 6. John Dalton's atomic theory states that matter is made up of tiny indestructible objects called matter. The theory also indicates that although same elements have the same atoms, each element have unique set atoms that deinfe them. From this, we can conclude that the wrong assumption is C. 9. Atoms, by default, are electrically neutral. When an atom loses or gains electron/s, then they become ionized atoms or commonly called as ions. Thus, ionized atoms imply unequal number of protons and electrons. This means the answer must be A. 11. Analgesics are commonly used to relieve pain. Thus, the answer is C. 14. Adding up the atomic mass of the individual atoms will give you the molar mass of a compound. Therefore, the answer is B.: 15. The pH scale provides us the alkalinity or acidity of a solution based on the value. A value between 0 to 6 indicates that the solution is acidic. 7 is considered neutral and a value between 7 and 14 indicates that the solution is basic. Thus, the answer is D. 19. An element has consistent properties and can no longer be further identified into having individual properties. Thus, the answer is A. 20. The valence of an element dependeds on the number of electrons on the outermost shell. Thus, it is equal to the number of charge negative or positive charges on the ion. Hence, we have A<span>. :</span>
