Why is the heat of fusion of any substance generally lower than its heat of vaporization?

The heat of fusion is always less than the heat of vaporization because at the time of the phase change from solid to liquid, the molecules only require energy to escape from the crystalline network, but it preserves the other molecular junctions.

In the case of the phase change between liquid to steam, there must be a total breakdown of that intermolecular networks and therefore apply energy so that they are not again attracted by the conditions of their environment.

Two uncharged metal spheres, spaced 25.0 cm apart, have a capacitance of 26.0 pF. How much work would it take to move 12.0 nC of

viktelen [127]

Answer:

$W=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two spheres, r = 25 cm = 0.25 m

The capacitance, C = 26 pF = 26×10⁻¹² F

Charge, Q = 12 nC = 12 × 10⁻⁹ C

We need to find the work done in moving the charge. We know that, work done is given by :

$U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}$

Put all the values,

$U=\dfrac{(12\times 10^{-9})^2}{2\times 26\times 10^{-12}}\\\\U=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J$

So, the work done is $2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J$ .

find the x-component of this vector 18.4,0.250. Remember, angles are measured from the +x axis. Find the x-component and y-compo

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

x = 0.237

y = 0.0789

Explanation:

Vector with direction 18.4° and magnitude 0.250 has x and y components of:

x = 0.250 cos 18.4°

x = 0.237

y = 0.250 sin 18.4°

y = 0.0789

What is the density of a piece of wood with a mass of 25 kg<br> and a volume of 0.0385 m³?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

649kg/m^3

Explanation:

Let p be the density of this particular object.

Formula for density:

$p = \frac{mass \: (in \: kg)}{volume \: (in \: {m}^{3}) }$

We can substitute the givenmass and volume to find density of the object.

$p = \frac{25kg}{0.0385 {m}^{3} } \\ = 649kg \: per \: {m}^{3}$

Therefore the density of this object is 649kg/m^3.
