Question

Your outlets at home are rated at 120 V, i.e. the two prongs have on average a potential difference of 120V. If you transfer 2.7 moles of electrons at that voltage, how much energy is released?

Answer 1

Answer:

E =230.4 MJ

Explanation:

As 1 mole of electron =  6X 10^23 particles.

charge of an electron is 1.6 X 10 ^-19 C

Finding Charge:

(6X10^23 ) (2.7)(1.6X10^-19 C)

i.e. 192 K C

now  to find the energy released from electrons

V=E/q

E=V X q

i.e E = 120 V X 192 K C

E =230.4 MJ
