Answer:

ΔS = 3.09 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the magnitude of disorder in a system. Mathematically, entropy change is given as, the heat absorbed or released by a system divided by the change in absolute temperature. So, the formula for entropy change is as follows:

ΔS = ΔQ/ΔT

where,

ΔS = Change in Entropy of Metal Wire = ?

ΔQ = Heat Conducted through Wire = 1216 J

ΔT = Difference in Temperature = 686 K - 292 K = 394 K

Therefore,

ΔS = 1216 J/394 K

<u>ΔS = 3.09 J/K</u>

A food processor draws 8.47 A of current when connected to a potential difference of 110 V.
Andreyy89

Answer:

27.95[kW*min]

Explanation:

We must remember that the power can be determined by the product of the current by the voltage.

P=V*I

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [volt]

I = amperage [Amp]

Now replacing:

P=110*8.47\\P=931.7[W]

Now the energy consumed can be obtained mediate the multiplication of the power by the amount of time in operation, we must obtain an amount in Kw per hour [kW-min]

Energy = 931.7[kW]*30[days]*10[\frac{min}{1day} ]=279510[W*min]or 27.95[kW*min]

Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting. A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchan
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Explanation:

As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.

This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.

This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.

This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.

More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.
