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

1 answer:

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.

A soft drink contains 12.1% sucrose (C12H22O11) by mass. What volume of the soft drink solution in milliliters contains 102.5 g

galina1969 [7]

The volume of the soft drink solution in milliliters that contains 102.5 g of sucrose is 11.93mL.

<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>

The volume of a solution can be calculated by dividing the mass by the density. That is;

Volume = mass/density

According to this question, a soft drink contains 12.1% sucrose (C12H22O11) by mass. This means that the mass of the sucrose is

12.1/100 × 102.5 = 12.40g of sucrose

Volume = 12.40g ÷ 1.04g/mL

Volume = 11.93mL

Therefore, the volume of the soft drink solution in milliliters that contains 102.5 g of sucrose is 11.93mL.
