Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity at Pluto is 0.0597 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Length, L = 1 m

10 oscillations in 257 seconds

Time period, T = 257/10 = 25.7 s

Let the acceleration due to gravity is g.

Use the formula of time period of simple pendulum

$T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\\25.7 = 2 \times 31.4\sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}\\\\g = 0.0597 m/s^2$

Given the thermochemical equations X2+3Y2⟶2XY3ΔH1=−370 kJ X2+2Z2⟶2XZ2ΔH2=−120 kJ 2Y2+Z2⟶2Y2ZΔH3=−270 kJ Calculate the change in

Alchen [17]

Answer : The change in enthalpy of the reaction is, -310 kJ

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given main reaction is,

$4XY_3+7Z_2\rightarrow 6Y_2Z+4XZ_2$ $\Delta H=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $X_2+3Y_2\rightarrow 2XY_3$ $\Delta H_1=-370kJ$

(2) $X_2+2Z_2\rightarrow 2XZ_2$ $\Delta H_2=-120kJ$

(3) $2Y_2+Z_2\rightarrow 2Y_2Z$ $\Delta H_3=-270kJ$

Now we will reverse the reaction 1 and multiply reaction 1 by 2, reaction 2 by 2 and reaction 3 by 3 then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) $4XY_3\rightarrow 2X_2+6Y_2$ $\Delta H_1=2\times (+370kJ)=740kJ$

(2) $2X_2+4Z_2\rightarrow 4XZ_2$ $\Delta H_2=2\times (-120kJ)=-240kJ$

(3) $6Y_2+3Z_2\rightarrow 6Y_2Z$ $\Delta H_3=3\times (-270kJ)=-810kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $CH_4$ will be,

$\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(+740kJ)+(-240kJ)+(-810kJ)$

$\Delta H=-310kJ$

Therefore, the change in enthalpy of the reaction is, -310 kJ

The magnetic field at the centre of a toroid is 2.2-mT. If the toroid carries a current of 9.6 A and has 6.000 turns, what is th

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Radius, r = 0.00523 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, $B=2\ mT=2.2\times 10^{-3}\ T$

Current in the toroid, I = 9.6 A

Number of turns, N = 6

We need to find the radius of the toroid. The magnetic field at the center of the toroid is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{2\pi r}$

$r=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{2\pi B}$

$r=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 6\times 9.6}{2.2\pi \times 2\times 10^{-3}}$

r = 0.00523 m

or

$r=5.23\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the radius of the toroid is 0.00523 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
