How does a heat sink improve cooling inside computers?

Chemistry
1 answer:
amid [387]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It does this by using a thermal conductor (usually metal) to carry heat away from the processor into fins that expose a high amount of surface area to moving air. This allows the air to be heated, thus cooling the heat sink and the processor as well.

liquid octane(CH3)(CH2)6CH3) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas(O2) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide(CO2) and gaseous water(H2O). I
max2010maxim [7]

The percent yield of carbon dioxide will be 49.0 %.

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

First, let's look at the equation of the reaction:

2C_8H_1_8 + 25O_2 -- > 16CO_2 + 18H_2O

The mole ratio of octane to oxygen is 2:25.

Mole of 3.43 g octane = 3.43/114.23 = 0.03 mol

Mole of 19.1 g oxygen = 19.1/32 = 0.60 mol

Thus, octane is limiting.

Mole ratio of octane to carbon dioxide = 2:16.

Equivalent mole of carbon dioxide = 0.03 x 8 = 0.24 mol

Mass of 0.24 mol carbon dioxide = 0.24 x 44.01 = 10.5624 grams

Percent yield of carbon dioxide = 5.18/10.5624 = 49.0 %

Hot air balloons work due to a current moving heat energy around within the balloon. which heat energy transfer process is happe
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Convection.

Explanation:

Why? This transfer of heat energy away from the ground by the vertical movement of air is called "free convection" or "natural convection." A hot air balloon rises because warmer air is less dense than cool air.                                                (plz brainlyest)

The following reaction, catalyzed by iridium, is endothermic at 700 K: CaO(s) + CH4(g) + 2H2O (g) → CaCO3 (s) + 4H2 (g) For the
arsen [322]

Answer:

A. Increasing the temperature will favor forward reaction and more CaCo3 formed.

B. More CaCo3 will be formed.

C. CaCo3 will decrease and more react ants formed.

D. Less CaCo3 will be formed.

E. Iridium is a catalyst so there is no effect

Explanation:

A. Temperature will increase because it's an endothermic reaction.

B. Adding Cao will favor forward reaction and more CaCo3 formed.

C. Removing methane, more react ants are formed and CaCo3 decreases.

D. Irridi is a catalyst so it has no effect on the CaCo3 but only speeds its rate of reaction.
