What would happen to the brightness of the bulb in the following circuit as I increase the resistance of the variable resistor?

As you crank the variable resistor to higher resistance, the total current in the loop decreases.  The power dissipated by the light bulb ... the heat and brightness it produces ... depend directly on the current through it, so they decrease too.  Your circuit is a perfect incandescent light dimmer circuit.

Water has a mass per mole of 18.0 g/mol, and each water molecule (H20) has 10 electrons. (a) How many electrons are there in one
Allushta [10]

Answer:

total number of electron in 1 litter is 3.34 × 10^{26} electron

Explanation:

given data

mass per mole = 18 g/mol

no of electron = 10

to find out

how many electron in 1 liter of water

solution

we know molecules per gram mole is 6.02 ×10^{23} molecules

no of moles is 1

so

total number of electron in water is = no of electron ×molecules per gram mole × no of moles

total number of electron in water is = 10 × 6.02 ×10^{23} × 1

total number of electron in water is = 6.02×10^{24} electron

and

we know

mass = density × volume    ..........1

here we know density of water is 1000 kg/m

and volume = 1 litter = 1 × 10^{-3} m³

mass of 1 litter = 1000 × 1 × 10^{-3}

mass = 1000 g

so

total number of electron in 1 litter =  mass of 1 litter × \frac{molecules per gram mole}{mass per mole}

total number of electron in 1 litter =  1000 × \frac{6.02*10{24}}{18}

total number of electron in 1 litter is 3.34 × 10^{26} electron

A student tests the acidity of nitric acid (HNO3) by dissolving a sample of HNO3 in a solution of liquid methane. He then uses a
DerKrebs [107]
Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:

1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:

2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.

Does that help?

Answer:

Mg or your weight.

Explanation:

When your velocity is constant, the net force acting on you is 0. That means the upwards force of air resistance must fully balance the downwards force of gravity on you, which is Mg.
