Answer:

6.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters

Initial mark = 65

Final mark = 15

time taken = 8s

Unknown:

Velocity of the runner = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by time;

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time}$

Displacement = Initial mark - final mark = 65 - 15 = 50m

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

Velocity = $\frac{50}{8}$ = 6.25m/s

For which question could a testable hypothesis be developed?

Mandarinka [93]

I believe it’s B; Theories may be proven to be true and become laws.
A would make sense if we were talking about hypotheses however, we’re not.

What change in entropy occurs when a 0.15 kg ice cube at -18 °C is transformed into steam at 120 °c 4.

Studentka2010 [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)H_2O(s)(-18^oC,255K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\\2.)H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\\3.)H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\\4.)H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\\5.)H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(120^oC,393K)$

Pressure is taken as constant.

To calculate the entropy change for same phase at different temperature, we use the equation:

$\Delta S=m\times C_{p,m}\times \ln (\frac{T_2}{T_1})$ .......(1)

where,

$\Delta S$ = Entropy change

$C_{p,m}$ = specific heat capacity of medium

m = mass of ice = 0.15 kg = 150 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

$T_2$ = final temperature

$T_1$ = initial temperature

To calculate the entropy change for different phase at same temperature, we use the equation:

$\Delta S=m\times \frac{\Delta H_{f,v}}{T}$ .......(2)

where,

$\Delta S$ = Entropy change

m = mass of ice

$\Delta H_{f,v}$ = enthalpy of fusion of vaporization

T = temperature of the system

Calculating the entropy change for each process:

<u>For process 1:</u>

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,s}=2.06J/gK\\T_1=255K\\T_2=273K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_1=150g\times 2.06J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{273K}{255K})\\\\\Delta S_1=21.1J/K$

<u>For process 2:</u>

We are given:

$m=150g\\\Delta H_{fusion}=334.16J/g\\T=273K$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\Delta S_2=\frac{150g\times 334.16J/g}{273K}\\\\\Delta S_2=183.6J/K$

<u>For process 3:</u>

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,l}=4.184J/gK\\T_1=273K\\T_2=373K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_3=150g\times 4.184J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{373K}{273K})\\\\\Delta S_3=195.9J/K$

<u>For process 4:</u>

We are given:

$m=150g\\\Delta H_{vaporization}=2259J/g\\T=373K$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\Delta S_2=\frac{150g\times 2259J/g}{373K}\\\\\Delta S_2=908.4J/K$

<u>For process 5:</u>

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,g}=2.02J/gK\\T_1=373K\\T_2=393K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_5=150g\times 2.02J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{393K}{373K})\\\\\Delta S_5=15.8J/K$

Total entropy change for the process = $\Delta S_1+\Delta S_2+\Delta S_3+\Delta S_4+\Delta S_5$

Total entropy change for the process = $[21.1+183.6+195.9+908.4+15.8]J/K=1324.8J/K$

Hence, the change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K
