The diameter of metal wire is often referred to by its American wire-gauge number. A 16 gauge-wire has a diameter of 0.05082 in.

What length of wire, in meters, is found in a 1.00 lb spool of 16-gauge copper wire? The density of copper is 8.92 g/cm3.

Answer:

length of wire = 38.82 m

Explanation:

∴ 16 gauge ≡ 0.05082 in * ( 2.54 cm/in ) = 0.12908 cm

∴ m spool = 1 Lb = 453.592 g

∴ ρ = 8.92 g/cm³

cross section area:

⇒ A = π*D²/4 = π*(0.12908)²/4 = 0.0131 cm²

⇒ L = ((453.592 g) *(cm³/8.92 g)) / ( 0.0131 cm² )

⇒ L = 3881.765 cm * ( m/100cm) = 38.82 m

A solution is made by mixing equal masses of methanol, CH4O, and ethanol, C2H6O. Determine the mole fraction of each component t

Serggg [28]

Answer: mole fraction of methanol = 0.590

mole fraction of ethanol = 0.410

Explanation:

We are given:

Equal masses of methanol $CH_4O$ and ethanol $C_2H_6O$ are mixed.

let the mass be x g.

Calculating the moles of methanol in the solution, by using the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}$

Calculating the moles of ethanol in the solution, by using the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}$

To calculate the mole fraction of methanol, we use the equation:

$\chi_{methanol}=\frac{n_{methanol}}{n_{methaol}+n_{ethanol}}$

$\chi_{methanol}=\frac{\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}}{\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}+\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}}=0.590$

To calculate the mole fraction of ethanol, we use the equation:

$\chi_{ethanol}=\frac{n_{ethanol}}{n_{methaol}+n_{ethanol}}$

$\chi_{ethanol}=\frac{\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}}{\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}+\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}}=0.410$

Thus mole fraction of methanol is 0.590 and mole fraction of ethanol 0.410 in three significant figures.

On which of the following factors does the amount of energy absorbed by an endothermic reaction depend?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The factors on which the amount of energy absorbed by an endothermic reaction depends are the " physical state of the reactant and the difference in the potential energy of the reactant and the product".

Explanation:

In an endothermic reaction the factors that affects the reaction are the physical state of the reactant, which thus becomes the enthalpy. And the difference in potential energy of the reactant because if the sum of the potential energy is less than the sum of the potential energy of the product than the endothermic reaction will be positive and the reaction hence will be endothermic.

$\delta H$ = $\delta H_{Product}$ - $\delta H_{Reactant}$

Compare how entropy changes for the following two systems:

postnew [5]

System A undergoes an increase in entropy while system B undergoes a decrease in entropy.

Entropy is the degree of disorderliness of a system. The entropy of a system depends on the number of particles present in the system as well as the state of matter.

Entropy is increased when solid particles dissolve in water because more particles are produced thereby increasing the level of disorderliness in the system.

On the other hand, when vapor is condensed, the degree of disorderliness decreases as gases are converted to liquids.

A sample of ammonia ^NH3h gas is completely decomposed to nitrogen and hydrogen gases over heated iron wool. If the total pressu

icang [17]

Answer : The partial pressure of $N_2$ and $H_2$ is, 216.5 mmHg and 649.5 mmHg

Explanation :

According to the Dalton's Law, the partial pressure exerted by component 'i' in a gas mixture is equal to the product of the mole fraction of the component and the total pressure.

Formula used :

$p_i=X_i\times p_T$

$X_i=\frac{n_i}{n_T}$

So,

$p_i=\frac{n_i}{n_T}\times p_T$

where,

$p_i$ = partial pressure of gas

$X_i$ = mole fraction of gas

$p_T$ = total pressure of gas

$n_i$ = moles of gas

$n_T$ = total moles of gas

The balanced decomposition of ammonia reaction will be:

$2NH_3\rightarrow N_2+3H_2$

Now we have to determine the partial pressure of $N_2$ and $H_2$

$p_{N_2}=\frac{n_{N_2}}{n_T}\times p_T$

Given:

$n_{N_2}=1\\\\n_{H_2}=3\\\\n_{T}=4\\\\p_T=866mmHg$

$p_{N_2}=\frac{1}{4}\times (866mmHg)=216.5mmHg$

and,

$p_{H_2}=\frac{n_{H_2}}{n_T}\times p_T$

Given:

$n_{H_2}=1\\\\n_{H_2}=3\\\\n_{T}=4\\\\p_T=866mmHg$

$p_{H_2}=\frac{3}{4}\times (866mmHg)=649.5mmHg$

Thus, the partial pressure of $N_2$ and $H_2$ is, 216.5 mmHg and 649.5 mmHg

In humans, unattached earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes. Which could be the genotype for someone with attached earlob

matrenka [14]

The genotype for some with attached earlobes would be ee because unattached earlobes are dominant(EE or Ee) which means attached would be recessive(ee).
