What carries the useful energy of a lamp to its surroundings?

1 answer:

6 0

A. The potential energy from the batteries in the torch is transferred to the filament of the bulb. The energy is transferred to the surroundings as thermal energy and light. Most of the energy is transferred as thermal energy which is not useful and only some of the energy is transferred as light

If 45.0 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/mL) initially at 8.0 ∘C is mixed with 45.0 mL of water (density = 1.0 g/mL) initially a

Answer : The final temperature of the mixture is, $22.14^oC$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of ethanol and water.

$\text{Mass of ethanol}=\text{Density of ethanol}\times \text{Volume of ethanol}=0.789g/mL\times 45.0mL=35.5g$

and,

$\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1.0g/mL\times 45.0mL=45.0g$

Now we have to calculate the final temperature of the mixture.

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of ethanol = $2.42J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of ethanol = 35.5 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 45.0 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of mixture = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of ethanol = $8.0^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $28.6^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$35.5g\times 2.42J/g^oC\times (T_f-8.0)^oC=-45.0g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_f-28.6)^oC$

$T_f=22.14^oC$

Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is, $22.14^oC$

Why do scientific theories change?

Sergio039 [100]

Scientific theories change because theories may be modified or overturned as new evidence and perspective emerges. ... The process of theory change may take time and involve controversy, but eventually the scientific explanation that is more accurate will be accepted. Hoped you get it!
