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

Chemistry

gladu [14]3 years ago

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.

A sample of gas at STP has a volume of 5.23 L. If the gas volume is changed to 3.45 L at 293 K, calculate the new pressure of th
Sever21 [200]

Answer: P=1.63atm

Explanation:

Stp means standard temperature and pressure

Standard temperature =273k

Standard pressure =1atm

Using the formula

P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2

P1= 1atm

V1=5.23L

T1=273k

P2=?

V2=3.45L

T2=293k

Substitute the values

1×5.23/273=p2×3.45/293

Cross multiply

293×1×5.23=p2×3.45×273

1532.39=941.85p2

P2=1532.39/941.85

P2=1.627

P2=1.63atm

What is the relationship between the concentration of particles in a solution and the solution’s vapor pressure? As solute conce
kap26 [50]

Answer:

As solute concentration increases, vapor pressure decreases.  

Step-by-step explanation:

As solute concentration increases, the number of solute particles at the surface of the solution increases, so the number of <em>solvent </em>particles at the surface <em>decreases</em>.

Since there are fewer solvent particles available to evaporate from the surface, the vapour pressure decreases.

C. and D. are <em>wrong</em>. The vapour pressure depends <em>only</em> on the number of particles. It does not depend on the nature of the particles.
