Thank you for posting you question here. I think the question is incomplete. I manage to check the complete question elsewhere:

A 0.0075 V/m electric field creates a 3.9 mA current in a 1.0 mm diameter wire. What is the wire made of? 

<span>a) Aluminum (resistivity: 2.82 * 10 ^ -8) </span>
<span>b) Nichrome (resistivity: 1.1 * 10 ^ -6) </span>
<span>c) Copper (resistivity: 1.68 * 10 ^ -8) </span>
<span>d) Iron (resistivity: 1.0 * 10 ^ -7) 
</span>
the answer is B which is Nichrome (resistivity: 1.1 * 10 ^ -6)

The wire made of Nichrome  

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

The ρ resistivity of an object is the ratio of the magnitude of the electric field to the current density

Can be formulated:

\large{\boxed{\bold{\rho\:=\:\frac{E}{J} }}}

Current density (J) itself is the ratio of currents per unit area of cross-section

Can be formulated:

\large{\boxed{\bold{J\:=\:\frac{I}{A} }}}

Complete questions from the assignments above can be stated as follows:

A 0.0075 V / m electric field creates a 3.9 mA current in a 1.0 mm diameter wire. What is the wire made of?

a) Aluminum (resistivity: 2.82 * 10 ^ -8)

b) Nichrome (resistivity: 1.1 * 10 ^ -6)

c) Copper (resistivity: 1.68 * 10 ^ -8)

d) Iron (resistivity: 1.0 * 10 ^ -7)

If we see the question above then to find the resistivity of the material we must find the wire cross-section area first

Known value

E = 0.0075 V / m

I = 3.9 mA = 3.9.10⁻³ A

d = 1.0 mm = 1.10⁻³ m

A = 1 / 4 π.d²

A = 1 / 4. π. (10⁻³)²

A = 1/4 . π . 10⁻⁶

so that

\rho\:=\:\frac{E}{J}

\rho\:=\:\frac{E.A}{I}

\rho\:=\:\frac{0.0075\frac{10^{-6}}{4} }{3.9.10^{-3}}}

ρ = 1.5.10⁻⁶ ohm . m

From this value the material which approaches its resistivity is Nichrome with resistivity: 1.1 . 10⁻⁶ ohm.m

Calculate the percentage composition of Mg3 (Po4)2
lutik1710 [3]
Mg3(PO4)2 - the molar mass would be 262g/mol, which is 100%

Atomic mass of Mg is 24, since we have 3Mg we multiply by 3 and get a mass of 72

262 : 100% = 72 : x%

x = 72*100 / 262

x = 27.5%

And do that for every element — get the molar mass of P and multiply by 2, use a ratio, and get the molar mass of O and multiply by 8 and use ratios :)

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when heptane, C7H16(l) , burns in air.
Pavlova-9 [17]
Start with Unbalanced Equation and balance it, so...
C7H16+O2--->CO2+H2O
There are 7 C atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 7 C atoms on the right-hand side. Add a 7 in front of the CO2...7CO2+H2O on right side now.
We have fixed 16 H atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 16 H atoms on the right-hand side. Add an 8 in front of H2O to make 16 (8x2)...7CO2+8H2O on right side now.
There are 22 O atoms on the right-hand side: 14 from the CO2 and 8 from the H2O. Add an 11 in front of the O2 on the left side to make 22 (11x2).
Every formula now has a fixed coefficient. You should have a balanced equation of...

• Explain why each of the following pairs is not likely to form an ionic bond.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

A)Chlorine and Bromine:

They are both non metal hence they form a covalent bond due to covalent bonding.

B)Potassium and Helium:

Helium ion has a small cationic radius and distorted by the potassium ion due to polarization.

C)Sodium and Lithium:

Both are metals hence they form a metallic bond since they share electrons to the electron cloud.
