Answer:

There are equal parts reactants and products.

Explanation:

When a system is in a chemical equilibrium, the rate at which the forward reaction occur is the same as the rate at which the reverse reaction occurs. This system is said to undergo a reversible reaction. The concentration of the reactants and products do not change, i.e are constant.

In a chemical equilibrium, the reaction continues in both directions but at the same rate.

Therefore the statement that is a misconception about a system in chemical equilibrium is 'There are equal parts reactants and products'.

Aconstant current of 3 Afor 4 hours is required to charge an automotive battery. If the terminal voltage is V, where t is in hou

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

(a) 43.2 kC

(b) 0.012V kWh

(c) 0.108V cents

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

i = current flow = 3 A
t = time interval for which the current flow = $4\ h = 4\times 3600\ s = 14400\ s$
V = terminal voltage of the battery
R = rate of energy = 9 cents/kWh

<u>Assume:</u>

Q = charge transported as a result of charging
E = energy expended
C = cost of charging

Part (a):

We know that the charge flow rate is the electric current flow through a wire.

$\therefore i = \dfrac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow Q =it\\\Rightarrow Q = 3\times 14400\\\Rightarrow Q = 43200\ C\\\Rightarrow Q = 43.200\ kC\\$

Hence, 43.2 kC of charge is transported as a result of charging.

Part (b):

We know the electrical energy dissipated due to current flow across a voltage drop for a time interval is given by:

$E = Vit\\\Rightarrow E = V\times 3\times 4\\\Rightarrow E = 12V\ Wh\\\Rightarrow E = 0.012V\ kWh\\$

Hence, 0.012V kWh is expended in charging the battery.

Part (c):

We know that the energy cost is equal to the product of energy expended and the rate of energy.

$\therefore \textrm{Cost}=\textrm{Energy}\times \textrm{Rate}\\\Rightarrow C = ER\\\Rightarrow C = 0.012V\times 9\\\Rightarrow C =0.108V\ cents$

Hence, 0.108V cents is the charging cost of the battery.

A 12 kg object speeds up from an initial velocity of 10 m:s-1

amid [387]

Momentum = m • v

Original momentum = m • 10 m/s north

Final momentum = m • 15 m/s north

Change = m • (15 - 10) m/s north

Change = m • +5 m/s north

Change = +60 kg-m/s north

A block of wood of mass 24 kg floats on water. The volume of the block below the surface of the water and the density of the woo

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

0.024m^3

Explanation:

=======

Answer:

=======

Given:-

Mass of the block of wood = 24 kg

Volume of wood = 0.032 m^3

Density of water = 1000kg/m^3

Now,

Density of wood is given by,

\frac{m}{v} = \frac{24}{0.032} \\

\frac{m}{v} = 750 \: kg/m ^{3}

Therefore,

The density of wood is 750kg/m^3

By principle of floatation,

Mass \:of\: wood = Mass\: of\: liquid \:displaced

Therefore,

Mass of liquid displaced = 24kg

Volume of liquid displaced (v),

\frac{m}{v} = \frac{24}{1000} \\

\frac{m}{v} = 0.24m ^{3}

Now,

Since the volume of the wood is equal to the volume of water displaced, it is 0.024m^3

=====

Note:

=====

=> The volume of the wood below the water surface is the volume of water displaced.

=> Buoyant\: force = Weight\: of\: the \:displaced\: water.

Which situation is most likely to lead to improving a scientific theory?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A. Repeating an experiment to verify results

Explanation:

A scientific theory may be defined as the theory of science that is a thought out explanation of the observations done in the nature or that happens in the natural world. They are constructed using several scientific methods by observing many facts and hypothesis.

According to the question, repeating of an experiment a number of times and verifying its result may help in improving a scientific theory as if we get the similar result for each experiments, then it confirms the basis of the hypothesis or the facts that are observe in the nature and conclude a scientific theory.
