A fuse is a safety device that stops the flow of electricity when a circuit overheats

Chemistry
1 answer:
allsm [11]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Fuses are built as a safety measure if there is too much current flowing through a circuit. ... However, if an electrical current exceeds the maximum current allowed within that fuse it will overheat and cause the metal strip to melt. The destroyed metal strip breaks the connection and stops electricity flowing through.

What mass of nitrogen is needed to fill an 855 L tank at STP?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

It takes 1,068.76 grams of nitrogen to fill an 855 L tank at STP.

Explanation:

The STP conditions refer to the standard temperature and pressure. Pressure values at 1 atmosphere and temperature at 0 ° C or 273.15 °K are used and are reference values for gases.

On the other side, the pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:  

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas.

So, in this case:

  • P= 1 atm
  • V= 855 L
  • n= ?
  • R= 0.082 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}
  • T= 273.15 K

Replacing:

1 atm* 855 L= n* 0.082 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K} * 273.15 K

Solving:

n=\frac{1 atm* 855 L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *273.15 K }

n= 38.17 moles

Being the molar mass of nitrogen N2 equal to 28 g / mol, you can apply the following rule of three: if there are 28 grams in 1 mole, how much mass is there in 38.17 moles?

mass=\frac{38.17 moles*28 grams}{1 mole}

mass= 1,068.76 grams

<u><em> It takes 1,068.76 grams of nitrogen to fill an 855 L tank at STP.</em></u>

Why does it seem to us as if rocks remain the same and don't change
qaws [65]
Most rocks that we encounter in our normal everyday lives are sedimentary rocks.  Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been worn down gradually over long periods of time.  Because it takes very long periods of time (couple decades) for these rocks to change, it often seems as if they don't change at all, when in reality the change is too small for us to realize it!
