Calculate how much steam from water boiling at 100 C will just melt 50 gm of wax at 20 C. (Melting point of wax=55 C, sp. heat capacity of wax=0.7cal/g C, sp. latent heat of fusion of wax=35cal/g)​

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

m₁ = 5.507 x 10⁻³ kg = 5.507 g

Explanation:

The heat released by the steam must be absorbed by the melting wax, according to the law of conservation of energy:

Heat Released by Steam = Heat Absorbed by Wax

Latent Heat of Fusion of Steam = Heat Absorbed by Wax + Latent Heat of Fusion of Wax

m₁H₁ = m₂CΔT₂ + m₂H₂

where,

m₁ = mass of water = ?

H₁ = Latent Heat of Fusion of Water = 2260 KJ/kg = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg

m₂ = mass of wax = 50 g = 0.05 kg

C = specific heat capacity of wax = (0.7 cal/g°C)(1000 g/1 kg)(4.184 J/1 Cal)

C = 2928.8 J/kg.°C

ΔT₂ = Change in Temperature of Wax = 55°C - 20°C = 35°C

H₂ = Latent Heat of Fusion of Wax = (35 cal/g)(1000 g/1 kg)(4.184 J/1 Cal)

H₂ = 146440 J/kg

Therefore,

m₁(2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg) = (0.05 kg)(2928.8 J/kg.°C)(35°C) + (0.05 kg)(146440 J/kg)

m₁ = (5125.4 J + 7322 J)/2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg

m₁ = 5.507 x 10⁻³ kg = 5.507 g

Which of these is most likely to lead directly to a black market?a. a supply shock
c. rationing
b. a price floor
d. equilibrium

Answers

Answer:

c. rationing

Explanation:

Which is an example of a good whose price goes down because of improvements in technology? Why did Communist governments use a command economic system for many years? ... Quantity demanded will exceed quantity supplied, so the price will drop. Excess supply means that producers will make less of the good.
 I would say it's rationing: if people are only allowed a certain number of something (let's say: bottles of cooking oil), then the people who are entitled to is (as all are) but don't need is as much are likely to try to make profit by trying to sell it on a black market.

What would be the result of an alpha particle coming into a magnetic field?A) The alpha particle will stop moving.
B) The alpha particle will reverse its direction.
C) The alpha particle will be deflected in a curve path.
Eliminate
D) The alpha particle will continue to travel in a straight line.

Answers

Answer:

C. The alpha particle will be deflected in a curve path.

Alpha particles are nuclei of helium and consist of two neutrons and two protons. So, they are positively charged.

Then the alpha particle will be deflected by a magnetic field.

Which example describes constant acceleration due ONLY to a change in direction?a. increasing speed while traveling around a curve
b. an object at rest
c. traveling around a circular track
d. an object in free fall

Answers

Answer:

c. traveling around a circular track

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time:

a=(\Delta v)/(\Delta t)

However, velocity is a vector quantity. This means that acceleration can be due to:

- A change in the speed of an object, or

- A change in the direction of the object

Let's analyze each choice:

a. increasing speed while traveling around a curve  --> in this case, both speed and direction are changing (the direction is changing since the object is moving around a curve), so this is not the correct choice

b. an object at rest  --> here neither the speed nor the direction are changing (in fact, the object is not accelerating), so this is not the correct choice

c. traveling around a circular track  --> here the direction is changing (because the track is circular), while we don't know anything about the speed. If we assume the speed to be constant, then this is the correct choice

d. an object in free fall --> here the speed is changing, while the direction not, so this is not the correct choice

'Traveling around a circular track' can be a description of constant
acceleration due only to changes in direction.  But if it is, then the
progress around the circular track must be at constant speed.
