To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3

50 seconds. If the temperature rises from 20.3°C to 29.1°C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter?

Answer:

372.3 J/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the total energy supplied to the calorimeter.

We know that:

V = 3.6 V is the voltage applied

I = 2.6 A is the current

So, the power delivered is

P=VI=(3.6)(2.6)=9.36 W

Then, this power is delivered for a time of

t = 350 s

Therefore, the energy supplied is

E=Pt=(9.36)(350)=3276 J

Finally, the change in temperature of an object is related to the energy supplied by

E=C\Delta T

where in this problem:

E = 3276 J is the energy supplied

C is the heat capacity of the object

\Delta T =29.1^{\circ}-20.3^{\circ}=8.8^{\circ}C is the change in temperature

Solving for C, we find:

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{3276}{8.8}=372.3 J/^{\circ}C

Why burette calibrated from top to bottom?​
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

In order to measure the amount of solution added in or drained out, the burette must be observed at eye level straight to the bottom of the meniscus. The liquid in the burette should be completely free of bubbles to ensure accurate measurements.

All that business about the crane and the rope and the falling
is only there to confuse us.

The piano ended up 5 meters above the ground.

           Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) (height)

                                   = (200 kg) (9.81 m/s²) (5 m)

                                   = (200 · 9.81 · 5)  (kg-m²/s²)

                                   =   9,810 joules   .
