Why is the specific heat of salt solution lower than that of water?

Physics
1 answer:
Stells [14]3 years ago

When we dissolve NaCl in water, the ions are held in a rigid cage of water molecules. It takes less energy to activate these molecules, so the specific heat of the water decreases. The greater concentration of NaCl, the lower the specific heat capacity of the solution.

Explain what effect losing a gamma ray has on a nucleus.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Hi, Since energy levels in the nucleus are much higher than those in the gas, the nucleus will cool down by emitting a more energetic electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray . Gamma ray emission causes no change in the number of particles in the nucleus meaning both the atomic number and mass number remain the same.

Determine the direction of the force that will act on the charge in each of the following situations. A negative charge moving t
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) DOWN direction,  b)  directed INTO THE SCREEN, c)    F = 0

Explanation:

The direction of the force is

for electric force

           F = q E

where we assume a positive test charge, for which the force has the direction of the electric field.

For a magnetic field

in this case the direction of the force is given by the right hand rule.

For a positive test charge, the thumb points in the direction of velocity, the other fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, and the palm gives the direction of force for a positive charge.

           F = q v x B

Let us apply these considerations to our case.

a) negative charge moving to the left

in a magnetic field points away from the screen

In this case the thumb goes to the left, the fingers extended outwards and the palm points upwards, but since the charge is negative the force has a DOWN direction.

b) negative charge moves to the left

in electric field it points off the screen.

The outside is in the direction of the electric field and since the charge is negative, the force is directed INTO THE SCREEN

c) positive charge moves down

in magnetic field points up

in this case the velocity and the field have the same direction so the vector product of them is zero

       F = q v  B sin 0

       F = 0
