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

Physics
1 answer:
Stells [14]3 years ago
3 0
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.

An engine absorbs 1.69 kJ from a hot reservoir at 277°C and expels 1.25 kJ to a cold reservoir at 27°C in each cycle.
Anna35 [415]

Answer

Given,

Energy absorbed, Q_H = 1.69\ kJ

Energy expels,Q_C =  1.25\ kJ

Temperature of cold reservoir, T = 27°C

a) Efficiency of engine

 \eta = \dfrac{Q_H - Q_C}{Q_H}\times 100

 \eta = \dfrac{1.69 - 1.25}{1.69}\times 100

\eta =26.03 %

b) Work done by the engine

 W = Q_H- Q_C

 W =1.69 - 1.25

 W = 0.44\ kJ

c) Power output

     t = 0.296 s

   P = \dfrac{W}{t}

   P = \dfrac{0.44}{0.296}

   P = 1.486\ kW

A galvanic cell is formed when two metals are immersed in solu- tions differing in concentration 1 when two different metals are
Citrus2011 [14]

A galvanic cell is formed when two metals are immersed in solu- tions differing in concentration 1 when two different metals are immersed.

<h3>What is galvanic cell?</h3>
  • The galvanic cell utilizes the ability to split the flow of electrons in the process of oxidization and reduction, compelling a half-reaction and connecting each with a wire so that a way can be formed for the flow of electrons via such wire.
  • A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell that transforms the chemical energy of a spontaneous redox response into electrical energy. It has an electrical possibility equal to 1.1 V. In galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode and it is a negative plate. Lessening occurs at the cathode and it is a positive plate.
  • A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the free liveliness of a chemical method into electrical energy. A photogalvanic cell generates species photochemically which react resulting in an electrical current via an external circuit.

How does a Freebody diagram tell you about the net force an object?
Sloan [31]
So you subtract the numbers that are on the same axis. So if your gravitational force is 10 and your normal force is 5 you do 5-10 to get -5 since gravity acts downward
