A 0.500 kg aluminum pan on a stove is used to heat 0.250 liters of water from 20.0ºC to 80.0ºC. (a) How much heatis required? Wh
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

heat used to rise temperature pan =  30.1%

heat used to rise temperature water =  69.9%

Explanation:

Given data

mass of water = 0.250 liter = 0.250 kg

aluminum pan mass = 0.500 kg

initial temperature = 20.0ºC

final temperature =  80.0ºC

to find out

heat used to rise temperature of  pan and water

solution

we find here heat transferred to the water that is

heat transferred to the water = mass of water × specific heat of water × change in temperature    ...........1

specific heat of water is 4186 J/kgºC

so

heat transferred to the water = 0.250 × 4186 × (80-20) kJ

heat transferred to the water = 62.8 kJ

and

heat transferred to the aluminum that is

heat transferred to the aluminum = mass of aluminum × specific heat of aluminum × change in temperature    ...........2

here specific heat of aluminum is 900 J/kgºC

heat transferred to the aluminum = 0.500 × 900 × (80-20) kJ

heat transferred to the aluminum = 27 kJ

so

total heat = 62.8 + 27 = 89.8 kJ

so

heat used to rise temperature pan = 27/89.8 ×100% = 30.1%

heat used to rise temperature water = 62.8 / 89.8 ×100% = 69.9%

Consider two parallel plate capacitors. The plates on Capacitor B have half the area as the plates on Capacitor A, and the plate
vichka [17]

Answer:

CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:

C = ε₀A/d

where,

C = Capacitance

ε₀ = Permeability of free space

A = Area of plates

d = Distance between plates

FOR CAPACITOR A:

C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F

A = A₁

d = d₁

Therefore,

CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F   ----------------- equation 1

FOR CAPACITOR B:

C = CB = ?

A = A₁/2

d = 2 d₁

Therefore,

CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁

CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)

using equation 1:

CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)

<u>CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF</u>
