Answer:

C. It is the difference in electrical potential energy between two places in an electric field.

Explanation:

The voltage, also known as voltage or potential difference is a physical quantity that drives electrons along a conductor in a closed electrical circuit, causing the flow of an electric current.

The potential difference is also defined as the work per unit of charge exerted by the electric field, on a charged particle, to move it from one place to another. It can be measured with a voltmeter.

In the International System of Units, the potential difference is measured in Volts (V), as is the Potential.

Two or more velocities add by ____? Plz help

VladimirAG [237]

By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities).
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
$R= \sqrt{(R_x)^2+(R_y)^2}$
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
$\tan \alpha = \frac{R_y}{R_x}$
where $\alpha$ is its direction with respect to the x-axis.

A sample of monatomic ideal gas occupies 5.00 L at atmospheric pressure and 300 K (point A). It is warmed at constant volume to

leonid [27]

Answer:

(a) 0.203 moles

(b) 900 K

(d) 15 L

(e) A → B, W = 0, Q = Eint = 1,518.91596 J

B → C, W = Q ≈ 1668.69974 J Eint = 0 J

C → A, Q = -2,531.5266 J, W = -1,013.25 J, Eint = -1,518.91596 J

(g) ∑Q = 656.089 J, ∑W = 655.449 J, ∑Eint = 0 J

Explanation:

At point A

The volume of the gas, V₁ = 5.00 L

The pressure of the gas, P₁ = 1 atm

The temperature of the gas, T₁ = 300 K

At point B

The volume of the gas, V₂ = V₁ = 5.00 L

The pressure of the gas, P₂ = 3.00 atm

The temperature of the gas, T₂ = Not given

At point C

The volume of the gas, V₃ = Not given

The pressure of the gas, P₃ = 1 atm

The temperature of the gas, T₂ = T₃ = 300 K

(a) The ideal gas equation is given as follows;

P·V = n·R·T

Where;

P = The pressure of the gas

V = The volume of the gas

n = The number of moles present

R = The universal gas constant = 0.08205 L·atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹

n = PV/(R·T)

∴ The number of moles, n = 1 × 5/(0.08205 × 300) ≈ 0.203 moles

The number of moles in the sample, n ≈ 0.203 moles

(b) The process from points A to B is a constant volume process, therefore, we have, by Gay-Lussac's law;

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

∴ T₂ = P₂·T₁/P₁

From which we get;

T₂ = 3.0 atm. × 300 K/(1.00 atm.) = 900 K

The temperature at point B, T₂ = 900 K

(d) For a constant temperature process, according to Boyle's law, we have;

P₂·V₂ = P₃·V₃

V₃ = P₂·V₂/P₃

∴ V₃ = 3.00 atm. × 5.00 L/(1.00 atm.) = 15 L

The volume at point C, V₃ = 15 L

(e) The process A → B, which is a constant volume process, can be carried out in a vessel with a fixed volume

The process B → C, which is a constant temperature process, can be carried out in an insulated adjustable vessel

The process C → A, which is a constant pressure process, can be carried out in an adjustable vessel with a fixed amount of force applied to the piston

(f) For A → B, W = 0,

Q = Eint = n·cv·(T₂ - T₁)

Cv for monoatomic gas = 3/2·R

∴ Q = 0.203 moles × 3/2×0.08205 L·atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹×(900 K - 300 K) = 1,518.91596 J

Q = Eint = 1,518.91596 J

For B → C, we have a constant temperature process

Q = n·R·T₂·㏑(V₃/V₂)

∴ Q = 0.203 moles × 0.08205 L·atm/(mol·K) × 900 K × ln(15 L/5.00 L) ≈ 1668.69974 J

Eint = 0

Q = W ≈ 1668.69974 J

For C → A, we have a constant pressure process

Q = n·Cp·(T₁ - T₃)

∴ Q = 0.203 moles × (5/2) × 0.08205 L·atm/(mol·K) × (300 K - 900 K) = -2,531.5266 J

Q = -2,531.5266 J

W = P·(V₂ - V₁)

∴ W = 1.00 atm × (5.00 L - 15.00 L) = -1,013.25 J

W = -1,013.25 J

Eint = n·Cv·(T₁ - T₃)

Eint = 0.203 moles × (3/2) × 0.08205 L·atm/(mol·K) × (300 K - 900 K) = -1,518.91596 J

Eint = -1,518.91596 J

(g) ∑Q = 1,518.91596 J + 1668.69974 J - 2,531.5266 J = 656.089 J

∑W = 0 + 1668.69974 J -1,013.25 J = 655.449 J

∑Eint = 1,518.91596 J + 0 -1,518.91596 J = 0 J
