Zinaida [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Heat is removed

Explanation:

Entropy is measure of chaos or disorder. Entropy of the universe is increasing that means it is positive. Entropy is positive for irreversible process. For entropy to be negative which means for it to decrease, heat must be removed  from the system. It will reduce the disorder of the system that is this process will bring order in the system and hence, the entropy would be negative.

heat is removed, because entropy is the thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system

Light does not pass through some materials. What do you think happens
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.

How much energy (in kilojoules) is required to convert 200 mL of diethyl ether at its boiling point from liquid to vapor if its
LiRa [457]

Answer:

55.96kJ

Explanation:

Energy = mass of diethyl ether × enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether

Volume (v) = 200mL, density (d) = 0.7138g/mL

Mass = d × v = 0.7138 × 200 = 142.76g

Enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether = 29kJ/mol

MW of diethyl ether (C2H5)2O = 74g/mol

Enthalpy in kJ/g = 29kJ/mol ÷ 74g/mol = 0.392kJ/g

Energy = 142.76g × 0.392kJ/g = 55.96kJ

Multiple-Concept Example 6 reveiws the principles that play a role in this problem. A nuclear power reactor generates 2.3 x 109
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

change in mass = 2.41*10^{8}kg

Explanation:

The change in the mass can be computed by using the relation

E=\Delta mc^2\\\Delta m=\frac{E}{c^2}(1)

That is, the energy liberated comes from the mass of the nuclear fuel. The energy generated in one year is

E=Pt=2.3*10^{9}\frac{J}{s}*1 year*\frac{365.25 day}{1 year}*\frac{24h}{1 day}*\frac{3600s}{1h}=7.25*10^{16}J

Hence, by replacing in the equation (1) you have  (c=3*10^{8}m/s)

\Delta m=\frac{7.25*10^{16}J}{3*10^{8}\frac{m}{s}}=2.41*10^{8}kg

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, y_{m} = 8.4\ cm

Wavelength, \lambda = 5.3\ cm

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega

where

\omega = 2\pi f = angular speed of the particle

Thus

v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

v = f\lambda

Now,

The ratio is given by:

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95
