The latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 50 kcal/kg and its melting point is -54oC. It has a specific heat of 0.60 in its liquid

state. Calculate the energy needed to melt 2.0 kg of solid alcohol at -54o and raise it to a temperature of -4°C.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

To melt the alcohol

Heat needed = M . L  = 2 . 25  = 50 kcal

To warm up the alcohol

Heat needed = M . sp. ht. . ∆t   = 2 . 0.6 . 100  = 120 kcal

Total heat needed = 170 kcal

Assuming that 0.6 kcal/ kg / ˚C  is the specific heat and that the answer is wanted in kcal ( a rather odd unit to be in use here.)

(a) A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s2 . How long does it take to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h,
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

(a) Time t = 16.46 sec

(b) Time t =13.466 sec

(c) Deceleration = 2.677m/sec^2

Explanation:

(a) As the train starts from rest its initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration a=1.35m/sec^2

Final speed v = 80 km/hr

80km/hr=\frac{80\times 1000}{3600sec}=22.22m/sec

From first equation of motion v =u+at

So t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{22.22-0}{1.35}=16.46 sec

(b) Now initial speed u = 22.22 m/sec

As finally train comes to rest so final speed v=0 m/sec

Deceleration a=1.65m/sec^2

So t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-22.22}{-1.65}=13.466 sec

(c) We have given that initial velocity = 80 km/hr = 22.22 m/sec

Final velocity v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 8.30 sec

So acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-22.22}{8.3}=-2.6771m/sec^2

As acceleration is negative so it is a deceleration

All of the following are physical properties of hydrogen peroxide except it
tankabanditka [31]
The answer to this question is B, Reacts with sunlight.

The 2 main properties of substances are their physical properties and chemical properties. 
Physical properties are some observable/measurable characteristics, such as their color, mass, state, melting point, conductivity etc.

Meanwhile, for chemical properties, they're about how the substance reacts with other substances, such as metals react with acid to form hydrogen. And by the word "react", it means there's no way turn the reaction product back to the original substance without using chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis. 

Therefore, all the choices above are physical properties of hydrogen peroxide except for B, as it is the only choice that relates to the substance reacting to another substance.
