Answer:
The lightbulb will NOT light.
Explanation:
You put me in a difficult position. I can't help it, but the "sample answer" is by far the best way to explain this, briefly and correctly. There's no other choice but to copy it.
This is a short circuit. The branch without the bulb has almost no resistance, so all the current will flow through that branch instead of flowing through the bulb.
<em>If</em> the lower switch were <u>opened</u>, THEN we would have a series circuit. Current would no longer have any other choice but to flow through the bulb, and the bulb would light.
V2 = 4.4579 L
Since pressure is constant, use Charle’s law.
Charles's law, a statement that the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant.
V(olume) 1 = V(olume) 2
————— —————
T(emperature) 1 T(emperature)2
4.00 L = V2
———- ———
297 K 331 K
Cross multiply
(4.00 L x 331 K) = (297 K x V2)
Simplify
1324 L/K = 297 K x V2
Isolate V2 by dividing out 297 K
1324 L/K = V2
————
297 K
(This cancels out the kelvin and leaves you with Liters as the volume measure)
V2 = 4.4579 L
Round to significant digits if required
B- lack of control.
the scientists did not have a proper control group.
