1. 412.9 g of dry ice sublimes at room temperature. a. What’s changing? --- sublimation b. What constant will you use? ----- 25.
hoa [83]

1. 236 kJ

a. The phase (or state of matter) of the substance: from solid state to gas state (sublimation)

b. The enthalphy of sublimation, given by: \lambda=571 J/g

c. The equation to use will be Q=m\lambda, where m is the mass of dry ice and \lambda is the enthalpy of sublimation

d. The energy is being absorbed, because the heat is transferred from the environment to the dry ice: as a consequence, the bonds between the molecules of dry ice break and then move faster and faster, and so the substance turns from solid into gas directly.

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

Q=m\lambda=(412.9 g)(571 J/g)=2.36\cdot 10^5 J=236 kJ

2.  165 kJ

a. The phase (or state of matter) of the substance: from gas state to liquid state (condensation)

b. The latent heat of vaporisation of water, given by \lambda=2260 J/g

c. The equation to use will be Q=m\lambda, where m is the mass of steam that condenses and \lambda is the latent heat of vaporisation

d. The energy is being released, since the substance turns from a gas state (where molecules move faster) into liquid state (where molecules move slower), so the internal energy of the substance has decreased, therefore heat has been released

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

Q=m\lambda=(72.9 g)(2260 J/g)=1.65\cdot 10^5 J=165 kJ

3. 3.64 kJ

a. Only the temperature of the substance (which is increasing)

b. The specific heat capacity of silver, which is C_s = 0.240 J/gC

c. The equation to use will be Q=m C_s \Delta T, where m is the mass of silver, Cs is the specific heat capacity and \Delta T the increase in temperature

d. The energy is being absorbed by the silver, since its temperature increases, this means that its molecules move faster so energy should be provided to the silver by the surroundings

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

Q=m C_s \Delta T=(39.2 g)(0.240 J/gC)(412.9^{\circ}C-25.9^{\circ}C)=3641=3.64 kJ

4. 89 kJ

a. Both the phase of the substance (from solid to liquid) and then the temperature

b. The latent heat of fusion of ice: \lambda=334 J/g and the specific heat capacity of water: C_s=4.186 J/gC

c. The equation to use will be Q=m\lambda + m C_s \Delta T, where m is the mass of ice, \lambda the latent heat of fusion of ice, Cs is the specific heat capacity of water and \Delta T the increase in temperature

d. The energy is being absorbed by the ice, at first to break the bonds between the molecules of ice and to cause the melting of ice, and then to increase the temperature of the water

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

Q=m\lambda +m C_s \Delta T=(156.3 g)(334 J/g)+(156.3 g)(4.186 J/gC)(56.232^{\circ}C-0^{\circ}C)=8.9\cdot 10^4 J=89 kJ

The centrifugal force which tends to throw the electrons out it's orbit as stated with mass moving velocity in an orbit of radiu
sammy [17]

Answer:

In Motion in Two and Three Dimensions, we examined the basic concepts of circular motion. An object undergoing circular motion, like one of the race cars shown at the beginning of this chapter, must be accelerating because it is changing the direction of its velocity. We proved that this centrally directed acceleration, called centripetal acceleration, is given by the formula

\[{a}_{\text{c}}=\frac{{v}^{2}}{r}\]

If I push on the wall with 75 Newtons of force, the wall will push back with ______
Sauron [17]

Answer:

(F)reaction = - 75 N

where, negative sign shows opposite direction.

Explanation:

This question can be answered using Newton's third law of motion. The Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action force there is an equal but opposite reaction force.

(F)action = - (F)reaction

Hence, in our scenario if we consider the 75 Newton force applied on the wall to be the action force then the reaction force of the wall must be equal to it in opposite direction. Therefore, the reaction push of the wall must be equal to 75 N.

<u>(F)reaction = - 75 N</u>

<u>where, negative sign shows opposite direction.</u>
