Answer : The current will flow more easily and quickly through the copper wire, on application of voltage because copper is a metal which is good conductor of heat and electricity.

In case of germanium it is a semi-conductor means it will behave as a conductor under certain circumstances.

So if we take same length and same thickness of both the wires, current is more likely to flow through the copper wire than the germanium wire.

0.0145 moles of helium gas are introduced into a balloon so that the volume of the balloon is 2.54 liters. An additional amount
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

4.43L is final volume of the ballon

Explanation:

Avogadro's law of ideal gases states that <em>equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules</em>.

The formula is:

\frac{V_1}{n_1} =\frac{V_2}{n_2}

Where V and n are volume and moles of the gas in initial and final conditions.

If the initial conditions are 0.0145 moles and 2.54L and final amount of moles is 0.0253moles, final volume is:

\frac{2.54L}{0.0145mol} =\frac{V_2}{0.0253mol}

V₂ = <em>4.43L is final volume of the ballon</em>

What provides great Britan with a moderate climate
Fynjy0 [20]
The Gulf Stream affects the climate in Britain by bringing warm water from the Caribbean to North West Europe. This keeps the climate in Britain warmer than other places at a similar latitude.

A 0.5438 g of a C.H.O. compound was combusted in air to make 1.039 g of CO2 and 0.6369 g H20. What is the empirical formula? Bal
goblinko [34]

Answer:

C₃H₅O₂

4C₃H₅O₂ + 13O₂ → 12CO₂ + 10H₂O

Explanation:

The reaction can be expressed as:

CₓHₓOₓ + nO₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Under the assumption that there was a total combustion, all of the carbon in the reactant was combusted into CO₂, so <u>the mass of C contained in the C.H.O. compound is the same mass of C contained in 1.039 g of CO₂</u>:

1.039gCO_{2}*\frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}} *\frac{1molC}{1molCO_{2}} *\frac{12gC}{1molC} =0.2834gC

All of the hydrogens atoms in the compound ended up becoming H₂O, so <u>the mass of H contained in the C.H.O. compound is the same mass of H contained in 0.6369 g of H₂O</u>:

0.6369g*\frac{1molH_{2}O}{18gH_{2}O} *\frac{1molH}{1molH_{2}O} *\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.0354gH

Because the compound is composed only by C, H and O, <u>the mass of O in the compound can be calculated by substraction</u>:

0.5438 g Compound - 0.2834 g C - 0.0354 g H = 0.2250 g O

In order to determine the empirical formula, we calculate the moles of each component:

  • mol C = 0.2834 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 0.0236 mol C
  • mol H = 0.0354 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 0.0354 mol H
  • mol O = 0.2250 g O ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.0141 mol O

Then we divide those values by the lowest one:

0.0236 mol C ÷ 0.0141 = 1.67

0.0354 mol H ÷ 0.0141 = 2.51

0.0141 mol O ÷ 0.0141 = 1

If we multiply those values by 2, we're left with the empirical formula C₃H₅O₂.

  • The reaction is:

4C₃H₅O₂ + 13O₂ → 12CO₂ + 10H₂O
