Explanation:
Exothermic reaction is defined as the reaction in which release of heat takes place. This also means that in an exothermic reaction, bond energies of reactants is less than the bond energies of products.
Hence, difference between the energies between the reactants and products releases as heat and therefore, enthalpy of the system will decrease.
Whereas in an endothermic reaction, heat is supplied from outside and absorbed by the reactant molecules. Hence, enthalpy of the system increases.
As water acts as a coolent and when fuel rods in a nuclear reactor are immersed in it then heat created by coolent is absorbed by water and then it changes into steam.
Since, absorption of heat occurs in the nuclear reactor. Therefore, it is an endothermic reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. This process is endothermic.
it would be at either A or B.
Question: A loader sack of total mass
is l000 grams falls down from
the floor of a lorry 200 cm high
Calculate the workdone by the
gravity of the load.
Answer:
19.6 Joules
Explanation:
Applying
W = mgh........................ Equation 1
Where W = Workdone by gravity on the load, m = mass of the loader sack, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity
From the question,
Given: m = 1000 grams = (1000/1000) kilogram = 1 kg, h = 200 cm = 2 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
W = (1×2×9.8)
W = 19.6 Joules
Hence the work done by gravity on the load is 19.6 Joules
Answer
given,
Side of copper plate, L = 55 cm
Electric field, E = 82 kN/C
a) Charge density,σ = ?
using expression of charge density
σ = E x ε₀
ε₀ is Permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²
now,
σ = 82 x 10³ x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²
σ = 725.7 x 10⁻⁹ C/m²
σ = 725.7 nC/m²
change density on the plates are 725.7 nC/m² and -725.7 nC/m²
b) Total change on each faces
Q = σ A
Q = 725.7 x 10⁻⁹ x 0.55²
Q = 219.52 nC
Hence, charges on the faces of the plate are 219.52 nC and -219.52 nC
