Answer:

Voltage= 9.4 V

Current= 1.3 A

Explanation:

Equivalent resistance will be the sum of two resistors hence

R_{equ}=2+7.2=9.2Ω

From Ohm's law, V=IR where I is current, R is equivalent resistance and V is voltage

Terminal voltage will be given by V=e-Ir where r is internal resistance, I is current and e is electromotive force.

From Ohm's law, current is given by dividing emf of the battery by the equivalent resistance hence

I=\frac {e}{R_{equ}}\\I=\frac {12}{9.2}=1.304347826A\approx 1.3A

This is the current through external resistor

Terminal voltage will be given by V=e-Ir hence V=12-(1.3*2)=9.4 V

Predict which molecule will show a similar relationship between its heat of fusion and its heat vaporization that water does
BaLLatris [955]

Question:

A) C6H6

B) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2COH6

C) NaCl

D) NH3

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) C₆H₆

Explanation:

Heat of fusion = 6.02 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =40.8 kJ/mol

Here, we analyze each of the options as follows

A) C₆H₆

Benzene has a melting point of 5.5° C and a boiling point of

80.1 ° C similar to water

Heat of fusion = 9.92 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =30.8kJ/mol

B) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂COH₆

The above compound is more likely solid

C) NaCl solid

D) NH₃ melting point = -77.73 °C boiling point =  -33.34 °C

Of the above, the compounds the one  that closely resembles water is C₆H₆

As a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit. the current flowing through a resistor isa) increasingb) decreasingc) constant
Montano1993 [528]
<h2>Answer: decreasing</h2>

An RC circuit is an electrical circuit composed of resistors and capacitors, where the charging time T of the circuit is proportional to the magnitude of the electrical resistance R and the capacity C of the capacitor.  

As shown below:

T=R.C

In this context, the electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electrons when moving through a conductor.

Therefore:

<h2>When a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit, the current flowing through a resistor <u>decreases</u>.</h2>

And the correct option is b.
