Answer: The molar mass of the hydrocarbon is 37 g/mol

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point is given by:

$\Delta T_b=i\times K_b\times m$

$\Delta T_b=T_b-T_b^0=(56.50-55.95)^0C=0.55^0C$ = Elevation in boiling point

i= vant hoff factor =1 (for non electrolyte )

$K_b$ = boiling point constant = $0.512^0C/m$

m= molality

$\Delta T_b=i\times K_b\times \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}$

Weight of solvent (acetone) = 95 g = 0.095 kg

Molar mass of solute = M g/mol

Mass of solute = 3.75 g

$0.55^0C=1\times 0.512\times \frac{3.75g}{Mg/mol\times 0.095kg}$

$M=37g/mol$

Thus the molar mass of the hydrocarbon is 37 g/mol

ella [17]

Answer:

$\frac{dR(t)}{dt}=0.06\Omega$

Explanation:

Since $R(t)=\frac{V}{I(t)}$ , we calculate the resistance rate by deriving this formula with respect to time:

$\frac{dR(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{V}{I(t)})=V\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{1}{I(t)})$

Deriving what is left (remember that $(\frac{1}{f(x)})'=-\frac{1}{f(x)^2}f'(x)$ ):

$\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{1}{I(t)})=-\frac{1}{I(t)^2}\frac{dI(t)}{dt}$

So we have:

$\frac{dR(t)}{dt}=-\frac{V}{I(t)^2}\frac{dI(t)}{dt}$

Which for our values is (the rate of <em>I(t)</em> is decreasing so we put a negative sign):

$\frac{dR(t)}{dt}=-\frac{24V}{(56A)^2}(-8A/s)=0.06\Omega$

What is the mass of 5 moles of gold

Serhud [2]

First of all, we know that one mole is equal to the atomic number of an element.

The atomic number of gold is <span>197.0g Au

And we need to find 5 moles.

5 * 197.0 g Au = </span><span>985.0g

Grams is used to measure mass.

Answer: </span>985.0g

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$P=42.075W$

Explanation:

The power provided by a resistor (wire in this case) is given by:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$ .

The resistance of a wire is given by:

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

Where for the resistivity the one of the copper should be used: $\rho=1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m$ .

The area A is that of a circle, which written in terms of its diameter is:

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (d/2)^2=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Putting all together:

$P=\frac{AV^2}{\rho L}=\frac{\pi d^2V^2}{4\rho L}$

Which for our values is:

$P=\frac{\pi (0.00025m)^2(12V)^2}{4(1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m)(10m)}=42.075W$

Explanation:

I know this because its a clear obvious answer not only that it was one of my USA TESTPREP questions and it was right.

All you mainly have to do is the math - F=ma , In each case , the acceleration is 5 m/s squared
