Answer:

193.4 J/K

Explanation:

For a closed system, the entropy is given as the natural logarithm of microstates.

The number of particles ( grains of sand ) N = 28

The number of boxes ( compartments ) M = 1000

Entropy is the logarithm of number of microstates

S=ln \psi

But the number of microstates is given by

\psi=M^{N} hence S=ln M^{N}=\ln (1000^{28})= \boxed{193.4 J/K}

Five liters of air at 50 c is warmed to 100c what is the new volume if the pressure remain constant
KonstantinChe [14]
To solve the problem, we can use Charle's law, which states that for an ideal gas at constant pressure the ratio between absolute temperature T and volume V remains constant:
\frac{T}{V}=k
For a gas transformation, this law can be rewritten as
\frac{T_1}{V_1}= \frac{T_2}{V_2} (1)
where 1 and 2 label the initial and final conditions of the gas.

Before applying the law, we must convert the temperatures in Kelvin:
T_1 = 50^{\circ}C + 273 = 323 K
T_2 = 100^{\circ}C+273=373 K
The initial volume of the gas is V_1 = 5 L, so if we re-arrange (1) we find the new volume of the gas:
V_2 = V_1  \frac{T_2}{T_1}=(5 L) \frac{373 K}{323 K}=5.77 L

1) The forces of molecules is how strong they are being held together. Now, we know that solid is the last one, because it's particles are held CLOSELY and VERY TIGHTLY together, which is why it has a definite shape.And last of all, a gas's particles are held freely, which is why it has no shape. So the answer would be:- gas, liquid, solid

3) The state of matter that does not have a definite shape, but has a definite volume is a liquid. So the answer is :- liquid

7) False, an endothermic reaction is when it absorbs energy, and as we know that in a chemical reaction as the following, it tends to be an exothermic reaction, meaning that is releases energy. So the answer is:- FALSE

8) Gases have particles that are far apart (freely) and move fast. So the answer is:- They are moving very fast and are far apart.<span> </span>

The fundamental frequency of a standing wave on a 1.0-m-long string is 440 Hz. What would be the wave speed of a pulse moving al
Nana76 [90]

Answer: v = 880m/s

Explanation: The length of a string is related to the wavelength of sound passing through the string at the fundamental frequency is given as

L = λ/2 where L = length of string and λ = wavelength.

But L = 1m

1 = λ/2

λ = 2m.

But the frequency at fundamental is 440Hz and

V = fλ

Hence

v = 440 * 2

v = 880m/s
