By definition, Ampere is a unit of current which is a measure of the amount of charge passing through a point in a circuit per unit of time, with an equivalent charge of 1.602 x 10^(-19) Coulomb per electron. To determine the number of electrons passing through the heater, we use the definition of the current. We calculate as follows:

13.5 A = 13.5 C per second
Charge = 13.5 C/s (10 min) ( 60 s / 1 min)
Charge = 8100 C

Number of electrons = 8100 C / 1.602 x 10^(-19) C per electron
Number of electrons = 5.1 x 10^22 electrons

Therefore, there are 5.1 x10^22 electrons that assed through the heater for 10 minutes.

A tank with a volume of 0.150 m3 contains 27.0oC helium gas at a pressure of 100 atm. How many balloons can be blown up if each

jekas [21]

Answer:

884 balloons

Explanation:

Assume ideal gas, since temperature is constant, then the product of pressure and volume is constant.

So if pressures reduces from 100 to 1.2, the new volume would be

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} = \frac{100*0.15}{1.2} = 12.5 m^2$

The spherical volume of each of the balloon of 30cm diameter (15 cm or 0.15 m in radius) is

$V_b = \frac{4}{3}\pir^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi 0.15^3 = 0.014 m^3$

The number of balloons that 12.5 m3 can fill in is

$V_2/V_b = 12.5 / 0.014 = 884$

If you wish to warm 100 kg of water by 20°C for your bath, how much heat is required? (Give your answer in calories and joules.)

taurus [48]

Q = mcθ

Where m = mass of water in kg.
c = specific heat capacity in kJ/kg⁰C, c for water = 4200 kJ/kg⁰C
θ = temperature rise in ⁰C

Q = 100*4200* 20 Note here the temperature rise is 20 ⁰C
Q = 8 400 000 J

In calories, 4.2 J = 1 Calorie
= 8 400 000 / 4.2 = 200 000

Q = 200 000 Calories
