Answer:

The capacitance is cut in half.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area A of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates d. So if the distance was doubled we should expect that the capacitance would be cut in half. That can be verified by the following equation that is used to compute the capacitance in such cases:

C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)

Where \epsilon is a constant that represents the characteristics for the insulator between the plates. A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. When we double d we have a new capacitance, given by:

C_new = (\epsilon)*(A/2d)

C_new = (1/2)*[(\epsilon)*(A/d)]

Since C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)] we have:

C_new = (1/2)*C

Heat in the amount of 100 kJ is transferred directly from a hot reservoir at 1320 K to a cold reservoir at 600 K. Calculate the
Zinaida [17]

Answer:0.0909 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of hot Reservoir T_h=1320 K

Temperature of cold Reservoir T_l=600 K

Heat of 100 kJ is transferred form hot reservoir to cold reservoir

Hot Reservoir is Rejecting heat therefore Q_1=-100 kJ

Heat is added to Reservoir therefore Q_2=100 kJ

Entropy change for system

\Delta s=\frac{Q_1}{T_1}+\frac{Q_2}{T_2}

\Delta s=\frac{-100}{1320}+\frac{100}{600}

\Delta s=-0.0757+0.1666=0.0909 kJ/K

As entropy change is Positive therefore entropy Principle is satisfied

The properties of element 17 are most similar to which of the following elements?
DedPeter [7]

Halogens are highly reactive nonmetal elements in group 17 of the periodic table. ... Halogens are among the most reactive of all elements. They have seven valence electrons, so they are very “eager” to gain one electron to have a full outer energy level.
