When 1.14 g of octane (molar mass = 114 g/mol) reacts with excess oxygen in a constant volume calorimeter, the temperature of th

e calorimeter increases by 10.0°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 6.97 kJ/°C. Determine the energy flow, q (reaction).

Answer:

Q (reaction) = -69.7 kJ

Explanation:

Octane reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ---> 16 CO₂ +18 H₂O

This reaction is exothermic in nature. Therefore, the energy is released into the atmosphere. This reaction took place in a calorimeter, there the temperature (T) increases by 10 C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 6.97 kJ/C

The heat (q) of the reaction is calculated as follows:

Q= -cT, where c is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and T is the increase in temperature

q = -(6.97) x (10) = -69.7kJ

<em>Since the heat capacity is given in kilo -joule per degree Celsius, therefore, the mass of octane is not required </em>

Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 4.8 x 105 kg on springs that hav

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The force constant is $k =1.316 *10^{7} \ N/m$

The energy stored in the spring is $E = 1.68 *10^{7} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the object is $M = 4.8*10^{5} \ kg$

The period is $T = 1.2 \ s$

The period of the spring oscillation is mathematically represented as

$T =2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{M}{k}}$

where k is the force constant

So making k the subject

$k = \frac{4 \pi ^2 M }{T^2}$

substituting values

$k = \frac{4 (3.142) ^2 (4.8 *10^{5}) }{(1.2)^2}$

$k =1.316 *10^{7} \ N/m$

The energy stored in the spring is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{1}{2} k x^2$

Where x is the spring displacement which is given as

$x = 1.6 \ m$

substituting values

$E = \frac{1}{2} (1.316 *10^{7}) (1.6)^2$

$E = 1.68 *10^{7} \ J$

g When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2 10-15 m before

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Time, $t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s$

Explanation:

Given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel $3.2\times 10^{-15}\ m$ before interacting.

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. It will move with the speed of light. So,

$t=\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\t=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-15}}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s$

So, the time interval is $1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s$

A uniform solid disk of mass 5.00 kg and diameter 47.0 cm starts from rest and rolls without slipping down a 40.0 ∘ incline that

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The speed it reaches the bottom is

$v=6.51m/s$

Explanation:

Given: $m=5.0kg$ , $r=47cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.47m$

Using the conservation of energy theorem

$U_i=K_E+K_{ER}$

$m*g*h=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2+\frac{1}{2}*I*w^2$

$v=r*w$ , $I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2$

$m*g*h=\frac{1}{2}*m*(r*w)^2 +\frac{1}{2}*[\frac{1}{2} *m*r^2]*w^2$

$m*g*h=\frac{3}{4}*m*r^2*w^2$

$g*h=\frac{3}{4}*r^2*w^2$

Solve to w'

$w^2=\frac{4*g*h}{3*r^2}$

$h=x*sin(30)=6.5m*sin(30)=3.25m$

$w=\sqrt{\frac{4*9.8m/s^2*3.25m}{3*(0.235m)^2}}$

$w=27.74rad/s$

$v=27.74rad/s*0.235m=6.51m/s$

In science work is defined as

Artist 52 [7]

According to the Jefferson lab, "The scientific definition of work is: using a force to move an object a distance (when both the force and the motion of the object are in the same direction.)"
