Answer:

B. The voltage is the same across all resistors in the circuit.

Explanation:

The answer choices are:

A.The current is the same across all resistors in the circuit.

B.The voltage is the same across all resistors in the circuit.

C. As more resistors are added, the current will decrease.

D. The sum of the voltage drops will equal the total voltage.

<h2>Solution</h2>

In a simple parallel circuit, each component (resistor) is connected directly to the battery forming different branches or pathways to the current.

Thus, the ends of each resistor receives the total potential difference or voltage from the battery, which is what the statement B. asserts. Hence, statement B is true.

On the other hand, the current will split among the different pathways, following Ohm's law: the greater the resistance of the resistor the lower the current. Thus, the statement A is false.

For a parallel circuit, the total resistance decreases as more resistors are added, which means that, again following Ohm's law, the current will increase, contradicting the statement C. Thus, the statement C is false.

It is in the series circuit that 'the sum of the voltage drops will equal the total voltage"; in a parallel circuit the voltage drop is the just one and the same for each resistor. Thus, the statement D is false,too.

"A crosslinked copolymer consists of 57 wt% ethylene (C2H4) repeat units and 43 wt% propylene (C3H6) repeat units. Determine the

ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Percentage ethylene by weight = 57%

Percentage propylene by weight = 43%

Suppose in 100 grams of polymer:

Mass of ethylene = 57 g

Mass of propylene = 43 g

Moles of ethylene = $\frac{57 g}{28 g/mol}=2.036 mol$

Moles of propylene = $\frac{43g}{42g/mol}=1.024 mol$

1 mole = $N_A =6.022\times 10^{23}$ molecules/ atoms

Units of ethylene = $2.036 mol\times N_A$

Units of propylene = $1.024 mol\times N_A$

a) Fraction of ethylene units:

$=\frac{2.036 mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{509}{765}$

b ) Fraction of propylene units:

$=\frac{1.024mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{256}{765}$

According to the below equation, how many moles of SO2 are required to generate 1.43×1024 water molecules?

podryga [215]

Make sure the equation is always balanced first. (It is balanced for this question already) 6.022 x 10^23 is Avogadro’s number. In one mole of anything there is always 6.022 x 10^23 molecules, formula units, atoms. For one mol of an element/ compound use molar mass (grams).

Multiply everything on the top = 8.61x10^47
Multiple everything on bottom= 1.20x10^24
Divide top and bottom = 7.15x10^23

Answer: 7.15x10^23 mol SO2

A sample of TNT, C7H5N3O6 , has 8.94 × 1021 nitrogen atoms. How many hydrogen atoms are there in this sample of TNT?

Bess [88]

Answer:

1.49×10²² atoms of H are contained in the sample

Explanation:

TNT → C₇H₅N₃O₆

1 mol of this has 7 moles of C, 5 moles of H, 3 moles of N and 6 moles of O

Let's determine the mass of TNT.

Molar mass is = 227 g/mol

As 1 mol has (6.02×10²³) NA atoms, how many moles are 8.94×10²¹ atoms.

8.94×10²¹ atoms / NA = 0.0148 moles

So this would be the rule of three to determine the mass of TNT

3 moles of N are in 227 g of compound

0.0148 moles of N are contained in (0.0148 .227) / 3 = 1.12 g

Now we can work with the hydrogen.

227 grams of TNT contain 5 moles of H

1.12 grams of TNT would contain (1.12 .5) / 227 = 0.0247 moles

Finally let's convert this moles to atoms:

0.0247 mol . 6.02×10²³ atoms / 1 mol = 1.49×10²² atoms

Ag2O(s) → 2Ag(s) + ½ O2(g) ΔH° = 31.05 kJ Which statements concerning the reaction above are true? (1) heat is released (2) heat

Sidana [21]

Answer:

D) 2, 4, and 5

Explanation:

In order to fully comprehend the answer choices we must take a close look at the value of ΔH° = 31.05. The enthalpy change of the reaction is positive. A positive value of enthalpy of reaction implies that heat was absorbed in the course of the reaction.

If heat is absorbed in a reaction, that reaction is endothermic.

Since ∆Hreaction= ∆H products -∆H reactants, a positive value of ∆Hreaction implies that ∆Hproducts >∆Hreactants, hence the answer choice above.
