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.

The density of a 45.0 mass % solution of ethanol (C2H5OH) in water is 0.873 g/mL. What is the molarity of the solution?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer : The concentration of solution is, 8.53 M.

Explanation :

As we are given, 45.0 mass % solution of ethanol in water that means 45.0 g of ethanol present in 100 g of solution.

First we have to calculate the volume of solution.

\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{\text{Density of solution}}

\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{100g}{0.873g/mL}=114.5mL

Now we have to calculate the molarity of solution.

Mass of C_2H_5OH = 45.0 g

Volume of solution = 114.5 mL

Molar mass of C_2H_5OH = 46.07 g/mole

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_2H_5OH\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of }C_2H_5OH\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{45.0g\times 1000}{46.07g/mole\times 114.5mL}=8.53mole/L=8.53M

Therefore, the concentration of solution is, 8.53 M.

Thermohaline currents are influenced by wind.<br><br> True or false?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The under-water deep ocean currents that are generated due to the differences in the water density are generally termed as the thermohaline circulation. It is mainly controlled by the two factors namely the temperature and the salinity. The word 'thermohaline' is directly derived from the temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).

This thermohaline circulation is considered as the oceanic conveyor belt that allows the water to move under the surface of water at certain depths from the equator to the poles and back from the poles to the equator.

Thus, it is directly associated with the density of the water. It has no relation with the wind.

Hence, the above statement is False.
