A 2.00 kg piece of lead at 40.0°C is placed in a very large quantity of water at 10.0°C,and thermal equilibrium is eventually re
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Δ S = 26.2 J/K

Explanation:

The change in entropy can be calculated from the formula  -

Δ S = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )

Where ,

Δ S = change in entropy

m = mass  = 2.00 kg

Cp =specific heat of lead is 130 J / (kg ∙ K) .

T₂ = final temperature  10.0°C + 273 = 283 K

T₁ = initial temperature ,  40.0°C + 273 = 313 K

Applying the above formula ,

The change in entropy is calculated as ,

ΔS = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )  = (2.00 )( 130 ) ln( 283 K / 313 K )

ΔS = 26.2 J/K

2. Why are there so many volcanoes in California? <br>​
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Most higher risk volcanoes are far from California’s largest cities and several produce heat that’s used to generate electricity in what are the world’s most productive geothermal power plants, such as the Salton Buttes, 160 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and the Clear Lake Volcanic Field 85 miles north of San Francisco that powers the Geysers steam field.

A 2.4L balloon filled with helium at room temperature 25oC is put into liquid nitrogen
Stels [109]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.62 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 2.4 L

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = -196°C

Final volume = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 25°C (25+273 = 298 K)

Final temperature = -196°C ( -196+273 = 77 K)

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 2.4 L × 77 K / 298 k

V₂ = 184.8 L.K / 298 K

V₂ = 0.62 L

Two substances A and B, initially at different temperatures, are thermally isolated from their surroundings and allowed to come
Elden [556K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

For solving this we need a heat balance

Q_{a} = Q_{b}\\m_{a}*C_{a}*\Delta T_{a} = m_{b}*C_{b}*\Delta T_{b}

By changing the corresponding relations, we have

m_{a}*C_{a}*\Delta T_{a} = \frac{1}{2}m_{a}*4C_{a}*\Delta T_{b} \\\\\\

By cancelling similar factor, we obtain

\Delta T_{a} = 2 \Delta T_{b}\\\frac{\Delta T_{a}}{\Delta T_{b}} = 2\\

Which means that the change of temperature in A is twice the change of B
