Answer:

<em>The power delivered by the battery is 17.04 W</em>

Explanation:

Power through a circuit is given as

P = IV    ....1

where P is the power

I is the current through the circuit

V is the voltage through the circuit

The voltage in a circuit is given as

V = IR    ....2

Let us take the value of each resistor as equal to R

when connected in series, the total resistance will be

R_{t} = R + R = 2R

If we assume constant voltage through the circuit, then from equation 2, the current in this case is

I = V/2R

If the resistors are connected in parallel, then the total resistance will be

\frac{1}{R_{t} } = \frac{1}{R} +

R_{t} = R/2

The current in this case will be increased since the resistance is reduced

I = 2V/R

comparing the two situations, we can see that the current increased when connected in parallel to a ratio of

\frac{2V}{R} ÷  \frac{V}{2R} =  

This means that the current increased 4 times

From equation 1, we can see that electrical power is proportional to the current at a constant voltage, therefore, the power will also increase by four times to

P = 4 x 4.26 = <em>17.04 W</em>

I know the enthalpy of a reaction is 23kj/mol. Initially the reaction is taking place at 273 k. To what temperature do i need to
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

293k

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the temperature to which the reaction must be heated to double the equilibrium constant.

To find this value, we will need to use the Van’t Hoff equation.

Net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object. For example, in a tug of war, when one team is pulling the rope with a f
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

If there are equal forces in both directions and there is no motion, the net force is 0 Newtons. This is because you'd be subtracting 100 from 100 which just equals 0.

The atmosphere of Mars is almost all carbon dioxide and the average surface pressure is 610 Pa (as compared with 101,000 Pa on E
Karolina [17]

Answer:

   z = 3,737 10⁵ m

Explanation:

a) As they indicate that the atmosphere behaves like an ideal gas, we can use the equation

          P V = n R T

          P = (n r / V) T

We replace

         P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

b) Let's apply this equation in the points

Lower

        .z = 0

         P₀ = 610 Pa

         P₀ = (nR / V) T₀

Higher.

         P = 10 Pa

          P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

We replace

        P = P₀ e^{- C z}

        e^{- C z} = P / P₀

        C z = ln P₀ / P

        z = 1 / C ln P₀ / P

Let's calculate

        z = 1 / 1.1 10⁻⁵ ln (610/10)

        z = 3,737 10⁵ m
