its cause if pressue

because the wide side if the nail is where is is hammered and we need to touch it so by increasing the area we redue pressure so it doesnt pirece you

Answer:

ΔH = -45.1872 kJ , where negative sign signifies heat loss.

Q = ΔH = -45.1872 kJ  , where negative sign signifies heat loss.

S system = -0.141 kJ/K

S surroundings = 0.1536 kJ/K

S universe = -0.141 kJ/K + 0.1536 kJ/K  = 0.0126 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given:

Cp = 4. 184 J/(mole. K)

T₁ = 75 ⁰C

T₂ = 21 ⁰C

Mass of water = 200 g = 0.2 kg

Since,

\Delta H=m\times C\times (T_f-T_i)

ΔH = 0.2*4.184*(21-75)  kJ

<u> ΔH = -45.1872 kJ , where negative sign signifies heat loss.</u>

Since the process is at constant pressure

<u> Q = ΔH = -45.1872 kJ  , where negative sign signifies heat loss.</u>

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

T₁ = 75 ⁰C = 348 .15 K

T₂ = 21 ⁰C = 294.15 K

The entropy of the water is given by:

<u> S = m×Cp×ln(T₂ /T₁) </u>

S = 0.2*4.184*ln(294.15/348.15)

<u> S system = -0.141 kJ/K</u>

The heat gain by surroundings

<u> dQ = -Qreaction =  45.1872 kJ </u>

The entropy change of surroundings is

S surr = dQ/T₂ = 45.1872/294 .15

<u> S surr = 0.1536 kJ/K </u>

The entropy of universe  is the sum total of the entropy of the system and the surroundings and thus,

S universe = Ssys + Ssurr

<u> S universe = -0.141 kJ/K + 0.1536 kJ/K  = 0.0126 kJ/K</u>

What would a series circuit be used for?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

a series circuit would be an odd choice to power a battery or light a lamp when a direct would be much more efficient, and it's not converting types of energy, so C is the best possible answer
