Why are fixed resistors’ values indicated by color bands rather than printing the numeric value on their exterior?

Chemistry
1 answer:
gladu [14]3 years ago
6 0
Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.

According to Dalton, if 2 grams of element X combine with 4 grams of element Y to form compound XY, how many grams of element X
adell [148]
The ratio of reactant in grams would be influenced by the reaction equation and the molar mass of the elements. But the ratio of a reactant needed in grams would be same for a reaction.
If 2 grams of element X combine with 4 grams of element Y to form compound XY, it means the ratio of reactant in grams<span> would be 2:4 or 1:2

The number of element X needed for 28grams of element Y would be:
1/2 * 28grams = 14 grams.</span>

At constant temperature and pressure, 5.0 L of SO2 is
Ne4ueva [31]
I've done this a few times and keep coming up with 5.0 L . I used the mole ratio, and SO 2 as the LR. That would make 2 moles of SO3 5.0 L but its not one of your choices. the temp and pressure are constant, so according to n/v = p/rt the volume is the same as the moles. hope this helps
