Answer:
(a) The current in the wire is 19.89 A
(b) The distance from the wire is 0.159 cm
Explanation:
Given;
magnetic field, B = 2.5 mT
diameter of the wire, d = 1 cm
radius of the wire, r = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m
(a) The current in the wire is calculated as;
(b) The distance from the wire where the magnetic field is 2.5 mT is calculated as;
Answer:
16.82 kJ/g
Explanation:
The Heat energy generated by the pentance combusion caused the temperature increasing of the caloriemeter and the water inside it.
Heat energy of a substace can be calculated using
Q = mcθ
C= mc
where Q = Heat energy
m =mass
c = specific heat capacity
C = heat capacity
θ =temperature difference
(Temperature difference = final temperature - initial temperature.)
heat absorbed by water = mcθ
= 1 * 4.184 * (22.82-20.22)
= 10.88 J --------------(1)
heat absorbed by calorimeter = Cθ
= 2210 *(22.82-20.22)
= 5746 J ---------------(2)
Combustion energy = heat absorbed by water + heat absorbed by calorimeter
Combustion energy = 10.88+ 5746 = 5756.88 J
= 5.757 kJ
heat of combustion of pentane = Combustion energy / mass
= 5.757 / 0.3423
= 16.82 kJ/g
