Answer:

Gold metal is a noble metal,i.e.,it is a non-reactive metal. As such,it does not form compounds with any other elements naturally. So it is found in its native or pure state in nature.

How do you test hydrogen gas

Vanyuwa [196]

Explanation:

A splint is lit and held near the opening of the tube, then the stopper is removed to expose the splint to the gas. If the gas is flammable, the mixture ignites. This test is most commonly used to identify hydrogen, which extinguishes with a distinctive 'squeaky pop' sound.

Problem 3: Thermal expansionThe steel rod has the length 2 m and cross-section area 200 cm2at the room temperature 20◦C. Weapply

zalisa [80]

Answer:

a) 2.00024 m

b) 0.036%

c) 436.67°C

Explanation:

Given

Initial length = L₀ = 2 m

Initial cross sectional Area = A₀ = 200 cm² = 0.02 m²

We can obtain initial volume = V₀ = A₀L₀ = 0.02 × 2 = 0.04 m³

Initial Temperature = T₀ = 20°C

Coefficient of linear expansivity = α = (2 × 10⁻⁶) (°C)⁻¹

a) New length of the rod after heating to 80°C

Linear expansion is given as

ΔL = L₀ × α ×ΔT

ΔL = 2 × 2 × 10⁻⁶ × (80 - 20) = 0.00024 m = 0.24 mm

New length = old length + expansion = 2 + 0.00024 = 2.00024 m

b) The percentage of the volume change of the rod.

Volume expansion is given by

ΔV = V₀ × (3α) × ΔT

Volume expansivity ≈ 3 × (linear expansivity)

ΔV = 0.04 × (3×2×10⁻⁶) × (80 - 20) = 0.0000144 m³

Percentage change in volume = 100% × (ΔV/V₀) = 100% × (0.0000144/0.04) = 0.036%

c) The maximal temperature we can allow if the volume should not increase by more than half percent.

For a half percent increase in volume, the corresponding change in volume needs to be first calculated.

Percentage change in volume = 100% × (ΔV/V₀)

0.5 = 100% × (ΔV/0.04)

(ΔV/0.04) = 0.005

ΔV = 0.0002 m³

Then we now investigate the corresponding temperature that causes this.

ΔV = V₀ × (3α) × ΔT

0.0002 = 0.04 × (3×2×10⁻⁶) × ΔT

ΔT = (0.0002)/(0.04 × 3 × 2 × 10⁻⁶) = 416.67°C

Maximal temperature = T₀ + ΔT = 20 + 416.67 = 436.67°C

The three forces shown act on a particle. what is the direction of the resultant of these three forces?

melisa1 [442]

Missing figure: http://d2vlcm61l7u1fs.cloudfront.net/media/f5d/f5d9d0bc-e05f-4cd8-9277-da7cdda3aebf/phpJK1JgJ.png

Solution:
We need to find the magnitude of the resultant on both x- and y-axis.

x-axis) The resultant on the x-axis is
$F_x = 65 N\cdot cos 30^{\circ} - 30 N - 20 N\cdot sin 20^{\circ} = 19.45 N$
in the positive direction.

y-axis) The resultant on the y-axis is
$F_y = 65 N \cdot sin 30^{\circ} - 20 N \cdot cos 20^{\circ} = 13.70 N$
in the positive direction.

Both Fx and Fy are positive, so the resultant is in the first quadrant. We can find the angle and so the direction using
$\tan \alpha = \frac{F_y}{F_x} = \frac{13.70 N}{19.45 N}=0.7$
from which we find
$\alpha=35^{\circ}$
