Answer : The correct option is, (B) -5448 kJ/mol

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat required by water.

$q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)$

where,

q = heat required by water = ?

m = mass of water = 250 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = $4.18J/g.K$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of water = 293.0 K

$T_2$ = final temperature of water = 371.2 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=250g\times 4.18J/g.K\times (371.2-293.0)K$

$q=81719J$

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of combustion of octane.

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of combustion of octane = ?

q = heat released = -81719 J

n = moles of octane = 0.015 moles

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta H=\frac{-81719J}{0.015mole}$

$\Delta H=-5447933.333J/mol=-5447.9kJ/mol\approx -5448kJ/mol$

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of octane is -5448 kJ/mol.

Wonder Woman and Superman fly to an altitude of 1510 km, carrying between them a chest full of jewels that they intend to put in

blagie [28]

Answer:

10061.56 m/s

Explanation:

Gravitation potential of a body in orbit from the center of the earth is given as

Pg = -GM/R

Where G is the gravitational constant 6.67x10^-11 N-m^2kg^-2

M is the mass of the earth = 5.98x10^24 kg

R is the distance from that point to the center of the earth = r + Re

Where r is the distance above earth surface, Re is the earth's radius.

R = 1510 km + 6370 km = 7880 km

Pg = -(6.67x10^-11 x 5.98x10^24)/7880x10^3

Pg = -50617512.69 J/kg

The negative sign means that the gravitational potential is higher away from earth than it is at the earth's surface (it shows convention).

This indicates the kinetic energy per kilogram that the chest of jewel will fall with to earth.

For the jewel chest, the velocity V will be

0.5v^2 = 50617512.69

V^2 = 101235025.4

V = 10061.56 m/s

In an experiment to measure the speed of light using the apparatus of Armand H. L. Fizeau (see Fig. 34.2), the distance between

Gnesinka [82]

First of all although there is no image described at the bottom, attached that fits perfectly with the experiment carried out.

From this perspective to solve this problem we must be guided by the kinematic equations of angular motion.

By definition we know that through the number of Notches it is possible to identify the total angular displacement in revolutions, that is to say

$\Delta \theta = \frac{1}{720} rev$

$\Delta \theta = \frac{2\pi}{720}rad$

The kinematic equations of motion tell us that speed (in this case that of light) can be expressed as

$c = \frac{d}{t}$

Where

d = distance

t = Time

Since the light has a round trip we have to

$c = \frac{2d}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta t = \frac{2d}{c}$

Our values are given as

$d = 11.45km = 11.45*10^3m$

$c = 2.9983*10^8$

From these same equations we have then that

$\omega = \frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$

Replacing with the two previous values found

$\omega = \frac{\frac{2\pi}{720}}{2d/c}$

$\omega = \frac{\frac{2\pi}{720}*(2.9983*10^8)}{2(11.45*10^3)}$ $\omega = 114.304rad/s$

Therefore the minimum angular speed of the wheel for this experiment is 114.304rad/s

Theresa is swinging a 4.0 kg ball on a 1.2 m long rope with a tangential speed of 1.8 m/s. What is the centripetal force exerted

Vadim26 [7]

For this case the centripetal force is given by:

$F = m * (\frac{v^2}{r})$

Where,

m: mass of the object

v: tangential speed

r: rope radius

Substituting values in the equation we have:

$F = (4.0) * (\frac{1.8^2}{1.2})$

Then, doing the corresponding calculations:

$F = 10.8 N$

Answer:

The centripetal force exerted on the rope is:

$F = 10.8 N$

An object attached to an ideal massless spring is pulled across a frictionless surface. If the spring constant is 45 N/m and the

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 49.5kg which is approximately 50kg

Explanation:

Given that

Spring constant (k)=45N/m

The extension (e)=0.88m

Also given that the acceleration is 0.8m/s²

Force by the spring is given as

Using hooke's law

According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

From the formula k = F/e

F=ke

m is the mass of the block = ?

a is the acceleration = 0.8m/s²

e is the extension of the spring = 0.88m

k is the spring constant = 45N/m

F=45×0.88

F=39.6N

Now this force will set the object in motion, now using newton second law of motion

F=ma

Then, m=F/a

m=39.6/0.8

m=49.5kg

The mass of the object is 49.5kg which is approximately 50kg

A typical cell phone charger is rated to transfer a maximum of 1.0 Coulomb of charge per second. Calculate the maximum number of

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The maximum no. of electrons- $2.25\times 10^{22}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Maximum rate of transfer of charge, I = 1.0 C/s

Time, t = 1.0 h = 3600 s

Rate of transfer of charge is current, I

Also,

$I = \frac{Q}{t}$

Q = ne

where

n = no. of electrons

Q = charge in coulomb

I = current

Thus

Q = It

Thus the charge flow in 1. 0 h:

$Q = 1.0\times 3600 = 3600\ C$

Maximum number of electrons, n is given by:

$n = \frac{Q}{e}$

where

e = charge on an electron = $1.6\times 10^{- 19}\ C$

Thus

$n = \frac{3600}{1.6\times 10^{- 19}} = 2.25\times 10^{22}$
