The instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 11.8 psipsi . You know that standard atmo

spheric pressure is 14.7 psipsi, so the booklet must mean 11.8 psipsi above atmospheric pressure. At what temperature in degrees Celsius will your food cook in this pressure cooker set on "high"?

<u>Answer:</u> The temperature at which the food will cook is 219.14°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=14.7psi\\T_1=273K\\P_2=(14.7+11.8)psi=26.5psi\\T_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{14.7psi}{273K}=\frac{26.5psi}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\frac{26.5\times 273}{14.7}=492.14K

Converting the temperature from kelvins to degree Celsius, by using the conversion factor:

T(K)=T(^oC)+273

492.14=T(^oC)+273\\\\T(^oC)=219.14^oC

Hence, the temperature at which the food will cook is 219.14°C

Why does burned toast taste so bad? Is it a chemical or physical change?
german

Because things that are burnt have been changed into something else like moldy bread thats cooked.

It is chemical change because you cannot unburn something.

The diagram below is an artist’s impression of a single atom of element Be. The neutrons are shown with stripes, the protons are
lara [203]
The correct option is B.
Isotopes refers to those chemical compounds which have the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons, so they end up having different mass numbers.  The diagram given above is that of beryllium, which has atomic number 4 and it has 2 electrons in its outermost shell. It has four protons [same as the number of electrons] and 5 neutrons. Beryllium 10, which is its isotope has four electrons, four protons and 6 neutrons. To get the number of neutron, remove the number of electrons from the number given in the option, that is, 10 - 4 = 6.
