Answer:

the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is

P*V=n*R*T

where

P = absolute pressure

V= volume

T= absolute temperature

n= number of moles of gas

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

P=n*R*T/V

the work that is done by the gas is calculated through

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV

for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV =  n*R*T  ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)

since

P₁=n*R*T/V₁

P₂=n*R*T/V₂

dividing both equations

V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂

W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)  = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )

replacing values

P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa

since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J

A transformer has a primary coil with 106 turns and a secondary coil of 340 turns. The AC voltage across the primary coil has a
UkoKoshka [18]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to transformers, that is to say passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to one or more circuits.

From the mathematical definition we have that the relationship between the voltage of the first coil and the second coil is proportional to the number of loops of the first and second loop, that is:

\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}

Where

V_p =  input voltage on the primary coil.

V_s=input voltage on the secondary coil.

N_p=  number of turns of wire on the primary coil.

N_s = number of turns of wire on the secondary  coil.

Replacing our values we have:

V_p = 128V

N_p = 106

N_s = 340

Replacing,

\frac{V_s}{128} = \frac{340}{106}

V_s = 410.56V

From the same relations of number of turns and the voltage of the first and second coil we also have the relation of electricity and voltage whereby:

V_s I_s = V_p I_p

Where

I_p= Current Primary Coil

I_s = Current secundary Coil

Therefore:

I_s = \frac{V_p I_p}{V_s}

I_s = \frac{(128)(6)}{410.56}

I_s = 1.87 A

Therefore the maximum values for the secondary coil of the voltage is 410.56V and Current is 1.87A

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Conductivity probe

Explanation:

The Conductivity Probe consists of two electrodes(also referred to as probes)or an electrode and a wall vessel where the material in the vessel completes the circuit as the level rises in the vessel.

It is used in measuring solution conductivity or total ionic concentration of aqueous samples.
