Calculate the heat energy released when 17.7 g of liquid mercury at 25.00 °c is converted to solid mercury at its melting point.
maria [59]

Answer;

Q = 359.2-J  

Explanation;

Given that;

Constants for mercury at 1 atm  

Heat capacity of Hg(l) is 28.0 J/(mol*K)  

melting point is 234.32 K  

Enthalpy of fusion is 2.29 kJ/mol

17.7-g Hg / 200.6g/mol = 0.0882 mol Hg;

°C + 273 = 298 K;

2.29-kJ/mol = 2290-J/mol  

Q = (m x ΔT x Cp) + (m x Hf)  

Q = 0.0882-mol x (298 - 234.32) x 28.0-J/mol*K) + (0.0882-mol x 2290-J/mol)  

Q = 157.26-J + 201.978-J  

Q = 359.2-J  

Q=359-J (3 sig fig allowed due to 17.7-g given in problem)

Compare the advantages and disadvantages of buying compact fluorescent bulbs rather than filament bulbs (6 marks)
myrzilka [38]
Advantages
-Fluorescent bulbs are more efficient than filament bulbs
-They are cheaper to use as they consume less electricity
-Lasts longer
-Since it consumes less electricity, less electricity needs to be produced, so less fossil fuels needs to be burnt so less harm to the environment.
Disadvantages
-More expensive to buy
-Shortened life span if turned off and on very frequently.
-Disposal a problem because of mercury vapour.

I hope this helps!

The fastest possible rate of rotation of a planet is that for which the gravitational force on material at the equator just bare
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

6862.96871 seconds

Explanation:

M = Mass of Planet

G = Gravitational constant

r = Radius

\rho = Density

T = Rotation period

In this system the gravitational force will balance the centripetal force

G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=mr\omega^2

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}.

M=\rho v\\\Rightarrow M=\rho \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

\\\Rightarrow G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=mr\left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{G\rho \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}{r^3}=\frac{4\pi^2}{T^2}\\\Rightarrow T=\sqrt{\frac{3\pi}{G\rho}}

Hence, proved

T=\sqrt{\frac{3\pi}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 3000}}\\\Rightarrow T=6862.96871\ s

The rotation period of the astronomical object is 6862.96871 seconds

What happens when an uncharged capacitor is placed in a single loop with a resistor and a battery?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The capacitor will charge

Explanation:

When the capacitor is connected to the circuit containing the battery and the resistor, charges (electrons) will start flowing through the circuit, pushed by the electromotive force produced by the battery. In particular:

- electrons will flow from the negative terminal of the battery to one plate of the capacitor

- electrons will flow from the other plate of the capacitor to the positive terminal fo the battery

(It's important to keep in mind that the electrons never cross the gap between the plates of the capacitor.)

Therefore, negative charge will accumulate on one plate of the capacitor and positive charge will accumulate on the other plate: and so, there will be an increasing potential difference across the plates of the capacitor. Due to this increasing potential difference, it will become more and more difficult for the battery to "push" electrons on the negative plate (and to remove them from the other plates), so the current in the circuit will keep decreasing.

The process stops when the potential difference across the gap of the capacitor is equal to the e.m.f. of the battery: at this point, there is no more current in the circuit, and the capacitor is said to be fully charged.
