Calculate the amount of heat liberated (in kj) from 411 g of mercury when it cools from 88.0°c to 12.0°c.

You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.

ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>

A light bulb whose resistance is 240 ohms is connected to a 120 voltage source. What is the current through the bulb?

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.5A

Explanation:

Using $R = \frac{V}{I}$ ,

R is the resistance (in Ohms)

V is the voltage (in V)

I is the current (in A)

$240=\frac{120}{I}$

I = 0.5A

1.When you give one set of washers a downward push, does it move as easily as the other set? Does it stop before it reaches the

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:No, it doesn't move easily downward because it will try to resist the movement ,due to a resistance force of inertia that it possess at rest.

Explanation:when an object has higher or larger mass it tends to resist any motion given to it unlike the one with lower mass.

The larger the mass the more resistance force an object has.

ad for the distance from the sun tothe earth is 1.5 x 10"m. how long does it take for light from ths sun to reach the eath? give

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

About 8.3 minutes

Explanation:

Use the formula for velocity as the distance covered by the light divided the time it takes: $[tex]velocity=\frac{distance}{time}$ [/tex]

Use the information about the speed of light in vacuum: $300000000 \frac{m}{s} = 3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}$

and the information you are given regarding the distance between Sun and Earth: $1.5 * 10^{11} m$

to solve the first velocity equation for the unknown time "t":

$velocity=\frac{distance}{time} \\3*10^8\frac{m}{s} =\frac{1.5*10^11 m}{t} \\t=\frac{1.5*10^11 }{3*10^8} s= 500 s$

we can convert second into minutes by dividing by 60: 500 s = 500/60 minutes = 8.3333... minutes
