Answer:

Monthly energy cost = $47.52

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 120 Volts

Current = 8 Ampere

Time = 15 hours

Energy cost = $0.11/KWh

To find the energy cost for a month;

First of all, we would determine the power rating of the microwave oven.

Power = current * voltage

Power = 8 * 120

Power = 960 Watts

Next, we find the amount of energy consumed;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 960 * 15

Energy = 14400 Watt-hour

To kilowatt per hour, we have;

Energy = 14400/1000 = 14.4 KWh

Now, we determine the monthly energy cost;

Daily energy cost = Energy consumption * cost

Daily energy cost = 14.4 * 0.11

Daily energy cost = $1.584

Therefore, monthly energy cost = 1.584 * 30

Monthly energy cost = $47.52

Or

Monthly energy cost = 14.4 * 0.11 * 30

Monthly energy cost = $47.52

A 400 gram sample of alcohol at 10o C [Ca=2.64 J/g*oC] is mixed with 400 grams of warm water [Cw=4.186 J/g*Co] at 88o C. Assume
alukav5142 [94]
The heat lost by the water will be equivalent to the energy gained by the alcohol. Thus:
maCaΔT = -mwCwΔT
400 x 2.64 x (T - 10) = 400 x 4.186 x (88 - T)
T = 57.8 °C
