Answer:

Carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

The products of complete combustion are always carbon dioxide and water.

The balanced reaction is:

4 CH₃OH + 3 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Answer : The products of the combustion of methanol are, carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ and water $(H_2O)$

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is a type of reaction in which the hydrocarbon react with the oxygen gas to give carbon dioxide and water as products.

The balanced chemical reaction of combustion of methanol $(CH_3OH)$ is :

$2CH_3OH(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)$

By the stoichiometry we can say that, 2 mole of methanol react with 3 moles of oxygen gas to give 2 mole of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water as products.

In this reaction, methanol and oxygen gas are the reactants and carbon dioxide and water are the products.

Therefore, the products of the combustion of methanol are, carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ and water $(H_2O)$

How much energy is used when a 110kw appliance is used for 3 hours

Bogdan [553]

We could take the easy way out and just say

(110 kW) x (3 hours) = 330 kilowatt hours .

But that's cheap, and hardly worth even 5 points.
If we want to talk energy, let's use the actual scientific unit of energy.
________________________________________________

" 110 kw " means 110,000 watts = 110,000 joules/second .

(3 hours) x (3600 sec/hour) = 10,800 seconds.

(110,000 joules/second) x (10,800 seconds) = 1.188 x 10⁹ Joules

That's

==> 1,188,000,000 joules

==> 1,188,000 kilojoules

==> 1,188 megajoules

==> 1.188 gigajoules

Atsa nawfulotta energy !
It goes back to that "110 kw appliance" that we started with.
That's no common ordinary household appliance. 110 kw is something like
147 horsepower. In order to bring 110 kw into your house, you'd need to
take 458 Amperes through the 240-volt line from the pole. Most houses
are limited to 100 or 200 Amperes, tops. And the TRANSFORMER on
the pole, that supplies the whole neighborhood, is probably a 50 kw unit.

A pair of narrow slits, separated by 1.8 mm, is illuminated by a monochromatic light source. Light waves arrive at the two slits

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

750 nm

Explanation:

$d$ = separation of the slits = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

λ = wavelength of monochromatic light

$D$ = screen distance = 4.8 m

$y$ = position of first bright fringe = $\frac{1cm}{5 fringe} = \frac{0.01}{5} = 0.002 m$

$n$ = order = 1

Position of first bright fringe is given as

$y = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}$

$0.002 = \frac{(1)(4.8)\lambda }{0.0018}$

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 750 nm

You push very hard on a heavy desk, trying to move it. You do work on the desk:

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that work done is given by

$W=F.d=Fdcos\Theta$

So there are two case in which work done is zero

First case is that when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

And other case is that when there is no displacement

So for work to be done there must have displacement, if there is no displacement then there is no work done

So option (c) will be the correct option

The fundamental frequency of a standing wave on a 1.0-m-long string is 440 Hz. What would be the wave speed of a pulse moving al

Nana76 [90]

Answer: v = 880m/s

Explanation: The length of a string is related to the wavelength of sound passing through the string at the fundamental frequency is given as

L = λ/2 where L = length of string and λ = wavelength.

But L = 1m

1 = λ/2

λ = 2m.

But the frequency at fundamental is 440Hz and

V = fλ

Hence

v = 440 * 2

v = 880m/s

Discuss how friction is reduced in oce skating

belka [17]

Answer:

below

Explanation:

Ice melts, meaning it has a watery layer upon its surface. This allows things to be moving like they are on a liquid but it has the solidity of a solid. The thin metal of the ice skates also decrease the surface area meaning it exerts more force but in turn, it allows you to move faster and further reduces friction.
