Substances that prevent or reduce the rate of a chemical reaction are called as inhibitors.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Inhibitors are those substances that either prevent or reduce the rate of a chemical reaction. Ex: Acetanilide slows down the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide solution.

Inhibitors even reduce the effectiveness of catalysts without hindering their composition. There are primarily two kinds of inhibitors- reversible and irreversible. Where, reversible inhibitors slows the rate of any reaction, irreversible inhibitors completely prevents the unwanted reactions.

Where catalysts are used to increase the rate of a reaction, inhibitors stand as a wall for the unwanted reactions to occur. For example, in case of silver tarnishing, to prevent silver jewellery being tarnished, a thin layer of rhodium is applied on it which works like an inhibitor for formation reaction of silver sulphides (the tarnish).

For a certain RLC circuit the maximum generator EMF is 125 V and the maximum current is 3.20 A. If le a) the impedance of the ci

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Part (i)

Z = 39.06 ohm

Part (ii)

R = 21.7 ohm

Explanation:

a) here we know that

maximum value of EMF = 125 V

maximum value of current = 3.20 A

now by ohm's law we can find the impedence as

$z = \frac{V_o}{i_o}$

now we will have

$z = \frac{125}{3.20} = 39.06 ohm$

Part b)

Now we also know that

$\frac{R}{z} = cos\theta$

$\theta = 0.982 rad = 56.3 degree$

now we have

$\frac{R}{39.06} = cos56.3$

$R = 21.7 ohm$

Explain<br> (0) what is meant by regeneration,<br> (ii) why an analogue signal cannot be regenerated

Kamila [148]

Explanation:

<h3>1.) Regeneration is the natural process of replacing or restoring damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs, and even entire body parts to full function in plants and animals.</h3>

2.) When noise is added to analogue signals, it usually sounds like background hiss. Such noise can not be removed so the original clean signal can not be re-created or re-generated.

Six new refrigerator prototypes are tested in the laboratory. For each refrigerator, the electrical power P needed for it to ope

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

performance coefficient from largest to the smallest

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

) P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s.

the rate at which they raise the temperature of the room.

2.1.P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device that uses work to remove heat energy from a cold reservoir and deposit it into a hot reservoir. .A good refrigerator (with a large performance coefficient) will remove a large amount of heat energy from the cold reservoir for a small amount of work input

The performance coefficient of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of the heat energy removed from the cold reservoir to the work input to the refrigerator:

k=QC/W

power is defined as work per unit time

1.k=1500/750=2

2. 1200/400=3

3.2000/500=4

4.1000/250=4

5.1500/500=3

6.3000/1000=3

performance coefficient from largest to the smallest

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

) P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

2, Rate at which they raise the temperature of the room.

rate at which temperature rises in the inner chamber of the refrigerator is proportional to the rate of energy used to dispel heat from the refrigerator

1.P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

The power of a purely resistive lead is always positive although the current and voltage are sometimes negative. explain

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Current is in phase with voltage in a resistive circuit. Note that the wave form for power is always positive, never negative for this resistive circuit. This means that power is always being dissipated by the resistive load, and never returned to the source as it is with reactive loads.Explanation:

1. A diver dives off of a raft - what happens to the diver? The raft? How does this relate to Newton's Third Law? Action Force:

Natali [406]

The Action Force of this scenario is the pushing force of the Diver. The Reaction Force is the raft pushing back on the diver.

The Third Law of Motion states that "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Now when the diver dives off the raft, the raft is also pushing the same amount of force as the diver did as he dives off. The diver will then move forward and the raft on the other hand will move backwards.

The movement of the raft shows the opposite force. It will move backwards depending on how strong the diver will push off on the raft. And the amount of force he pushes on it, the raft will exert the same force so the stronger the force of the diver, the farther he will go because the raft will push him in that same direction as it goes backwards.
