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.

. Given the reaction 2HgO → 2Hg + O2 , how many moles of elemental mercury will be obtained by the decomposition of 1 mole of Hg

AveGali [126]

Answer:

one mole of HgO will give one mole of Hg.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of HgO = 1 mol

Moles of Hg = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂

Now we will compare the moles of Hg with HgO from balance chemical equation.

HgO : Hg

2 : 2

1 : 2/2×1 = 1 mol

So, one mole of HgO will give one mole of Hg.

When ammonium nitrate is dissolved in water in a glass container, the glass container becomes cold. Is this an endothermic or ex

Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Figure 6. An instant cold pack consists of a bag containing solid ammonium nitrate and a second bag of water. When the bag of water is broken, the pack becomes cold because the dissolution of ammonium nitrate is an endothermic process that removes thermal energy from the water.

C=h/[M(T2-T1)] solve for T1

vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

This is expressing as a subject of a formula of a specie.

This equation is used in solving for specific heat capacity of a material;

equation:

c = $\frac{h}{M(T2 - T1)}$

First cross multiply:

c[M(T2 - T1)] = h

Then multiply both sides by $\frac{1}{c }$ :

$\frac{1}{c }$ x c[M(T2 - T1)] = $\frac{1}{c }$ x h

M(T2 - T1) = $\frac{h}{c}$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{1}{M}$

$\frac{1}{M}$ x M(T2 - T1) = $\frac{1}{M} x \frac{h}{c}$

T2 - T1 = $\frac{h}{Mc}$

Now rearrange to produce;

T1 = T2 + $\frac{h}{Mc}$
