Answer with Explanation:

The acidity of an aqueous solution is a term used to identify how acidic the solution is. An acidic solution is a solution in which the concentration of hydrogen ions is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions. In the other case around if the concentration of hydrogen ions is lesser than the concentration of hydroxide ions the solution is termed to be basic or alkaline. For a solution with equal concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions the solution is termed to be neutral.

The acidity of solutions is compared on the basis of the concentration of the hydrogen ions reduced to log of base 10 to ease calculations. The comparison is made in terms of 'pH' value which is defined as

$pH=-log[H^+]$

where

$[H^+]$ is the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution in moles per liter of solution.

If the pH is < 7 the solution is acidic and the closer the pH value to 1 the higher is the acidity of the solution.

Which bulb has the lowest total cost of operation? (a) Incandescent (b) Fluorescent (c) LED

Finger [1]

Answer: LED have the lowest cost of operation.

Explanation:

If we ignore the initial procurement cost of the items the operational cost of any device consuming electricity is given by

$Cost=Energy\times cost/unit$

Among the three item's LED consumes the lowest power to give the same level of brightness as compared to the other 2 item's thus LED's shall have the lowest operational cost.

A monatomic ideal gas undergoes a quasi-static process that is described by the function p(????)=p1+3(????−????1) , where the st

Alenkasestr [34]

A pure gas made up only of atoms. The noble gases argon, krypton, and xenon are some examples.

Concepts:

Perfect gas law: Work performed on the system: PV = nRT W = -∫PdV

Energy preservation formula: U = Q + W

Reasoning:

W = nRT ln(Vi/Vf) when the process is isothermal.

The temperature is said to be constant, and we are given n, Pfinal, and Vfinal.

Calculation information:

(A) A process that is isothermal has a constant temperature.

PV = nRT, and hence, constant

nRT = PV = 101000 Pa*25*10-3 m3

For a process that is isothermal, W = nRT ln(Vi/Vf).

W/(nRT)=3000 J/(101000 Pa*25*10-3 m3)=-1.19

(The gas produces -W of labor.)

Vi = (25*10-3 m3)/3.28 = 7.62*10-3 m3 = 7.62 L where Vf/Vi = exp(1.19) = 3.28 Vi (b) for a perfect gas PV = nRT. 101000 Pa*25*10-3 m3 = (8.31 J/K) T. T = 303.85 K.

Dmitrij [34]

Complete Question

The cars of a roller-coaster ride have a speed of 19.0 km/h as they pass over the top of the circular track. Neglect any friction and calculate their speed v when they reach the horizontal bottom position. At the top position, the radius of the circular path of their mass centers is 21 m, and all six cars have the same mass.V = -18 m What is v?X km/h

Answer:

$v=23.6m/s$

Explanation:

Velocity $v_c=18.0km/h$

Radius $r=21m$

initial velocity u $u=19=>5.27778$

Generally the equation for Angle is mathematically given by

$\theta=\frac{v_c}{2r}$

$\theta=\frac{18}{2*21}$

$\theta=0.45$

$\theta=25.7831 \textdegree$

Generally

Height of mass

$h=\frac{rsin\theta}{\theta}$

$h=\frac{21sin25.78}{0.45}$

$h=20.3m$

Generally the equation for Work Energy is mathematically given by

$0.5mv_0^2+mgh=0.5mv^2$

Therefore

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{=5.27778^2+2*9.81*20.3}$

$v=23.6m/s$

How often do you need to add freon to a central air conditioning unit.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

If everything is working properly, your AC should never need a refrigerant. In fact, a central air conditioner should never need refrigerant added unless there's a refrigerant leak. We'll explain how an AC uses refrigerant and what to do if you think your system is low on refrigerant. OR When you check your air conditioner unit, or your outdoor central air unit with the fan, and see an ice building up on the refrigerant line, then you may be low on freon. ... This will cause the surrounding moisture on the refrigerant line to freeze up. This is a sign you need freon.

Explanation:

(this is according to plumbing services website)
