Water is boiled in a pan on a stove at sea level. During 10 min of boiling, it is observed that 200 g of water has evaporated. T
diamong [38]

Answer:

Rate of heat is 45.1 kJ/min

Explanation:

Heat required to evaporate the water is given by

Q = mL

here we know that

L = 2.25 \times 10^6 J/kg

now we have

Q = (0.200)(2.25 \times 10^6 J/kg)

Q = 452.1 kJ

now the power is defined as rate of energy

P = \frac{Q}{t}

P = \frac{452.1 kJ}{10}

P = 45.1 kJ/min

A 200.0 kg piano is elevated by a crane to a height of 10.0 meters above a sidewalk. If the rope holding the piano breaks, what
Nitella [24]
All that business about the crane and the rope and the falling
is only there to confuse us.

The piano ended up 5 meters above the ground.

           Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) (height)

                                   = (200 kg) (9.81 m/s²) (5 m)

                                   = (200 · 9.81 · 5)  (kg-m²/s²)

                                   =   9,810 joules   .

True or false, both mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy involve the interaction of molecules with electromagnetic energy
zavuch27 [327]
Yes, it is true, both mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy involve interaction of molecules with electromagnetic waves. ;Mass spectrometry method is used to determine the mass of a substance while infrared spectroscopy is used to determine the functional groups in molecules. Both methods involve the analysis of electromagnetic light interaction with molecules.
