Answer : The purpose of the zigzag line on the periodic table is to separates the metal from the non-metal.

Explanation :

Metalloids : These are the elements that shows both the property of metals and non-metals.

For example : Boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium and astatine are the metalloids.

Metalloids separates the metals from the non-metals.

The zigzag line on the periodic table represent the metalloids.

Non-metals are found to the right side of the zigzag line that gains electrons to attain stability.

Metals are found to the left side of the zigzag line that loses electrons to attain stability.

Hence, the purpose of the zigzag line on the periodic table is to separates the metal from the non-metal.

What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 200 g of water by 15°C (the specific heat of water is 1 cal/g°C)

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J

Explanation:

Find:

Mass of water (M) = 200 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 15°C

Specific heat of water (C) = 1 cal/g°C

Find:

Heat energy required (Q) = ?

Computation:

Q = M × ΔT × C

Heat energy required (Q) = Mass of water (M) × Change in temperature (ΔT) × Specific heat of water (C)

Heat energy required (Q) = 200 g × 15°C × 1 cal/g°C

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J

1. A step-up transformer increases 15.7V to 110V. What is the current in the secondary as compared to the primary? Assume 100 pe

Serjik [45]

1. $I_2 = 0.14 I_1$

Explanation:

We have:

$V_1 = 15.7 V$ voltage in the primary coil

$V_2 = 110 V$ voltage in the secondary coil

The efficiency of the transformer is 100%: this means that the power in the primary coil and in the secondary coil are equal

$P_1 = P_2\\V_1 I_1 = V_2 I_2$

where I1 and I2 are the currents in the two coils. Re-arranging the equation, we find

$\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{15.7 V}{110 V}=0.14$

which means that the current in the secondary coil is 14% of the value of the current in the primary coil.

2. 5.7 V

We can solve the problem by using the transformer equation:

$\frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{V_p}{V_s}$

where:

Np = 400 is the number of turns in the primary coil

Ns = 19 is the number of turns in the secondary coil

Vp = 120 V is the voltage in the primary coil

Vs = ? is the voltage in the secondary coil

Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers, we find:

$V_s = V_p \frac{N_s}{N_p}=(120 V)\frac{19}{400}=5.7 V$
