A fuel was burned for 5 min, increasing the temperature of 10.0 g of water with a density of 1.00 g/ml by 9.0 oC. The fuel relea
jekas [21]

The fuel released 90 calories of heat.

Let suppose that water experiments an entirely <em>sensible</em> heating. Hence, the heat released by the fuel is equal to the heat <em>absorbed</em> by the water because of principle of energy conservation. The heat <em>released</em> by the fuel is expressed by the following formula:

Q = m\cdot c \cdot \Delta T (1)

Where:

  • m - Mass of the sample, in grams.
  • c - Specific heat of water, in calories per gram-degree Celsius.
  • \Delta T - Temperature change, in degrees Celsius.

If we know that m = 10\,g, c = 1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} and \Delta T = 9\,^{\circ}C, then the heat released by the fuel is:

Q = (10\,g)\cdot \left(1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (9\,^{\circ}C)

The fuel released 90 calories of heat.

Where is the epicenter of this hypothetical earthquake?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

In fact, the epicenter of a hypothetical earthquake is located at the point where the earthquake begins to break. The epicenter is just above the surface of 'our planet'. The epicenter is what we call immediately above the 'hypocenter' of the earthquake on the stage that said surface.

1. A 1500kg car is being lifted by a hydraulic jack attached to a flat plate. Underneath the plate is
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

the pressure in the pipe in the case when there is no net force on the car is  81,726 N/m^2

Explanation:

a. The computation of the pressure in the pipe in the case when there is no net force on the car is shown below

As we know that

Pressure = F ÷ area

Also

F = mg

Now

= (1500 × 9.8) ÷π (0.24)^2

= 81,726 N/m^2

Hence, the pressure in the pipe in the case when there is no net force on the car is  81,726 N/m^2

IRINA_888 [86]

If you are given the standard potential for the reduction of X^2+ is +0.51 V, and the standard potential for the reduction of A^2+ is -0.33, just add the two. The standard potential for an electrochemical cell with the cell is 0.18V

A sample of n2 effuses in 255 s. how long will the same size sample of cl2 take to effuse?
7nadin3 [17]
For this problem, we use Graham's Effusion Law to find out the rate of effusion of chlorine gas. The formula is as follows:

R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

Let 1 be N₂ while 2 be Cl₂

255/R₂ = √(28/70.8)
Solving for R₂,
R₂ = 405.5 s

<em>Thus, it would take 405.5 s to effuse chlorine gas.</em>
