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

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

6.82 kg

Explanation:

Given that the amount of water is 15L and we know that the density of water is ≈ 1kg/L. The mass of water is given by mass = volume x density, i.e,

mass = 15 x 1 = 15 kg. Also the specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 KJ/kg.

The sublimation enthalpy of dry ice is 571 KJ/kg.

Now, the amount of heat lost by water is entirely used up for the sublimation (conversion from soild to gas) of dry ice. And the heat (Q) lost by water is given as : Q = mCΔT, where m is the mass of water, C the specific heat capacity of water and ΔT the change in temperature.

Here, Q = 15 x 4.186 x (90 - 28) = 3892.98 KJ.

This amount of heat is taken up by the dry ice for its sublimation. Also the energy taken by dry ice (Q') for its sublimation is given by: Q' = m'L', where m' is the mass of dry ice, L' is the latent heat of sublimation (i.e, the amount of heat required per kg of a substance to sublime) of dry ice amd L' = 571 KJ/kg.

Now, Q' =m'L' = heat lost by water = 3892.98KJ.

And, m'L' = m' x 571 KJ/kg = 3892.98 KJ. (Dividing with 571)

Therefore, m' = 6.82 kg.

What causes the lines in the spectrum for elements? a continuous release of energy from the heated element a quantum absorption
solmaris [256]

Answer:a quantum absorption of energy

Explanation:

Bohr’s model explains the spectral lines .While the electron of the atom remains in the ground state, its energy is unchanged. When the atom absorbs one or more quanta of energy, the electron moves from the ground state orbit to an excited state and when the atom relaxes back to a lower energy state, it releases energy that is again equal to the difference in energy of the two orbits.

Alchemists were medieval scholars and philosophers who were the forerunners of modern-day chemists. many tried repeatedly to tra
AlladinOne [14]

Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.

Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.

The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.
