Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on itself and on the surface below it.
Pressure is defined as the force acting on an object divided by the area upon witch the force is acting.
Answer:
540C.
Explanation:
A capacitor of capacitance C when charged to a voltage of V will have a charge Q given as follows;
Q = CV ----------(i)
From the question, the initial charge on the capacitor is the charge on it before it was connected to the resistor. In other words, the initial charge on the capacitor will have a maximum value which can be calculated using equation (i) above.
Where;
C = 6F
V = 90V
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
Q = 6 x 90
Q = 540 C
Therefore, the initial charge on the capacitor is 540C.
Answer:
As the concentration of a solute in a solution increases, the freezing point of the solution <u><em>decrease </em></u>and the vapor pressure of the solution <em><u>decrease </u></em>.
Explanation:
Depression in freezing point :

where,
=depression in freezing point =
= freezing point constant
m = molality ( moles per kg of solvent) of the solution
As we can see that from the formula that higher the molality of the solution is directly proportionate to the depression in freezing point which means that:
- If molality of the solution in high the depression in freezing point of the solution will be more.
- If molality of the solution in low the depression in freezing point of teh solution will be lower .
Relative lowering in vapor pressure of the solution is given by :

= Vapor pressure of pure solvent
= Vapor pressure of solution
= Mole fraction of solute

Vapor pressure of the solution is inversely proportional to the mole fraction of solute.
- Higher the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and decrease in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.
- lower the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and increase in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.
