Answer:

The boiling point of Acetone is 329K (in 3 significant figures)

Explanation:

Boiling point of Acetone = 56°C = 56 + 273K = 329K (in 3 significant figures)

Answer: using the formula 0°C + 273.15 = 273.15K the boiling point in units of kelvin to significant figures is 329.15k.

Explanation: The boiling point of a substance ( acetone) is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid substance equals the pressure surrounding it. The boiling point of acetone serves as it's characteristic physical properties. This is measured in degree Celsius (°C ) which can be converted to units of Fahrenheit or kelvin. To convert degree Celsius to kelvin this formula is used: 0°C + 273.15 = 273.15K . Given that acetone has boiling point of 56°C,from the formula 0°C is substituted for 56°C. This gives us:

56°C + 273.15= 319.15k.

Also,measurements given in Kelvin will always be larger numbers than in Celsius and the Kelvin temperature scale does not use the degree (°) symbol because Kelvin is an absolute scale, based on absolute zero, while the zero on the Celsius scale is based on the properties of water. I hope this helps. Thanks

The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?
SIZIF [17.4K]
The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
I(r)= \frac{1}{r^2}
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.

We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put 
I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(1)^2}=1
The intensity at r=3 m will be
I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(3)^2}= \frac{1}{9}
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor 1/9.

Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having
maks197457 [2]

Answer: A) highly mobile electrons in the valence shell

Explanation: conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles—the electrons. These free electrons also known as valence electrons are free to move, and as a result they can travel through the lattice that forms the physical structure of a metal. The presence of valence electrons determines a metal's conductivity. However, several other factors can affect the conductivity of a metal such as impurities, temperature, magnetic fields etc.

Given a 10-V power supply, would a 20-ohm resistor and a 5-ohm resistor need to be arranged in parallel or in series to generate
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

Explanation:

We are given 10 voltage power source and we have two Resistors with resistance of 20 ohm and 5ohm.

We need to find the orientation in which these two resistors would be arranged so that the circuit could get a current of 2.5Ampere.

Using ohm's law we have

V = I*R

V= voltage

I= current

R= resistance

10 = 2.5*R

R = 10/2.5 = 4ohm

that means we need a total of 4ohm resistance from these two resistors.

since the net Resistance(4ohm) is lower than the smallest resistance(5ohm) available that means the orientation of the resistors will be in parallel.

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2}\\                 = \frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{5}\\ \\                 = \frac{1+4}{20} =\frac{1}{4}

R(net) =4ohm

Now the orientation of the resistors are in parallel so the current will be divided.

we know that the current will divide in opposite manner the arm which provides more resistance less current will flow from there and vice versa.

We know that the voltage in parallel remains same

In 20 ohm resistance

again using ohms law

V = i1*R1

10 = i1*20

i1 = 0.5A

in 5ohm resistor

V=i2*R2

10 = I2*5

i2 =2A

and i1+i2 = 0.5+2= 2.5A which means our calculation is correct.

Therefore the resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.
