Answer:
a) V = 252 cm³
b) Vs = 72 cm³
Explanation:
a)
The volume of the water can be given by the following formula:

<u>V = 252 cm³</u>
<u></u>
b)
The volume of stone can be given by the change in volume of the water when the stone is dipped into it.

<u>Vs = 72 cm³</u>
At 1.70 atm, a gas sample occupies 4.25 liters. If the pressure in the gas increases to 2.40 atm, what will the new volume be?
Answer:
3.01L
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial pressure, P1 = 1.7atm
Initial volume, V1 = 4.25L
Final pressure, P2 = 2.4atm
Unknown:
Final or new volume, V2 = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes, if the temperature is constant".
P1 V1 = P2 V2
P1 is the initial pressure
V1 is the initial volume
P2 final pressure
V2 final volume
1.7 x 4.25 = 2.4 x V2
V2 = 3.01L
1. The chemical reaction produced by Carlo's fire is exergonic because energy is "going out". As the reaction proceeds, entropy increases as the energy stored in the dry wood and leaves are used up as fuel to create the fire which produces low quality light and warmth.
2. This reaction is a classic example of an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are characterized with the presence of heat and light in the products. Combustion reactions are always exothermic in nature.
3. Catalyst are substances that are used to speed up reactions by lowering the activation requirement. Catalysts aren't consumed in the reaction and can still be chemically retrieved afterwards. In this situation, the leaves cannot be retrieved after the reaction ends. The leaves speed up the heating of the wood but it does not behave as a catalyst.
Answer:
a)The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.
b) The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527
Explanation:

= Constant for all nuclei
r = Radius of the nucleus
A = Number of nucleons
a) Given atomic number of an element = 25
Atomic mass or nucleon number = 52


The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.
b) 
k=
= Coulombs constant
= charges kept at distance 'a' from each other
F = electrostatic force between charges


Force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter



The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527
We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material
Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.
One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.
This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.
