How does dissolving salt in water allow electric current to flow?

1 answer:

4 0

Salt is an ionic compound NaCI. So the salt will dissolve and spread apart and the ions in the salt will move freely, letting electricity to flow freely....!

Hope i helped! If you need anything else ask me!! :)

The natural abundances of elements in the human body, expressed as percent by mass, are: oxygen (O),65 percent; carbon (C), 18 p

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The mass in grams of each element in the body of 62 Kg are

Oxygen 40300 g

Carbon 11160 g

Hydrogen 6200 g

Nitrogen 1860 g

Calcium 992 g

Phosphorus 744 g

Other elements 744 g

It is possible to check it adding all the components, the total is 62000 g.

Explanation:

Firstly, we have a total mass of 62 Kg and the composition as a percentage of each component.

Percentage ( %)

Oxygen 65.0

Carbon 18.0

Hydrogen 10.0

Nitrogen 3.0

Calcium 1.6

Phosphorus 1.2

Other elements 1.2

Taking the definition of a percentage as part of hundred total, each percentage can be expressed as a decimal number. We should divide the percentage with 100 of total. For example: Oxygen 65%, it means 65/100 = 0.65. So, Oxygen is 0.65 in decimal numbers. We do the same for each component.

Percentage ( %) Decimal number

Oxygen 65.0 65/100 = 0.65

Carbon 18.0 18/100 = 0.18

Hydrogen 10.0 10/100 = 0.10

Nitrogen 3.0 3/100 = 0.03

Calcium 1.6 1.6/100 = 0.016

Phosphorus 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012

Other elements 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012

Finally. We can multiply decimal number of each component taking the total. 1 Kg is equivalent to 1000 g.

So, 62 Kg = 62 * 1000 g = 62000 g

After that we get the mass in grams of each element, by multiplying 62000 g and the decimal number of each component as follows:

Percentage ( %) Decimal number Mass in grams (g)

Oxygen 65.0 65/100 = 0.65 0.65*62000=40300

Carbon 18.0 18/100 = 0.18 0.18*62000= 11160

Hydrogen 10.0 10/100 = 0.10 0.10*62000= 6200

Nitrogen 3.0 3/100 = 0.03 0.03*62000= 1860

Calcium 1.6 1.6/100 = 0.016 0.016*62000= 992

Phosphorus 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012 0.012*62000=744

Other elements 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012 0.012*62000=744

The formation of a white cloud

saw5 [17]

Most clouds are white. That's because water and ice particles that make up a cloud have just the right amount and sizes to scatter light in all possible wavelengths. When light of practically all wavelengths combine, the result is white light.

If measuring experimental results, what can you predict about the work output of a 1200 watt hair dryer? the work output of the

eimsori [14]

Answer: first option, the work output of the hairdryer will be less than the work input.

Explanation:

1) The work output measured in watts is the power of hair dryer measured in joules per second.

2) The hair dryer converts electrical energy from the wall outlet to mechanical and thermal energy: hot wind.

3) Nevertheless, you can never expect a 100% efficiency of the machines: due to friction, some energy is converted into useless energy.

So, efiiviency = power output / power input< 1 ⇒

power output = work output / time

input power = work input / time

⇒ work output / work input < 1

⇒ work output < work input.

Which is the first option: the work output of the hairdryer will be less than the work input
