if a liter of water is heated from 20ºc to 50ºc, what happens to its volume?

give the temperature and pressure at stp.

 The stp is the standard temperature and pressure, the standard temperature is o celcius , 273 kelvin and the standard pressure is 1 atmosphere

a gas occupies 4.23 l at 2.25 atm. what is the volume at 3.46 atm?

 According to boyle’s law pressure is inversely proportional to volume , when volume increases, the pressure reduces
 As the pressure increases from 2.25 atm to 3.46 atm , the volume decreases from 4.23 l to 2.75l,
 Boyles law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its absolute pressure provide the temperature remain constant.

if the temperature of a piece of steel decreases what happens to its density

if a temperature of a piece of still decreases, the volume also decreases, we know that according to the Charles law that temperature is directly proportional to the volume provided that the pressure remains constant
if the temperature of the steal increases the volume also increases and if the temperature decreases the volume also decreases.
 Therefore if the temperature of an object increases it volume also increases .
 But density is  given as
 Density is given as mass per unit volume,
 Density is inversely proportional to volume  and likewise the temperature, therefore when the temperature increases, the volume expand and this reduces the mass to volume ratio, which is temperature.
 We can say this in other words, when the temperature of a body increases, it atoms and molecules change more kinetic energy, the  move and expand faster ( depending on the state of the matter). The increases in volume decreases the mass per unit volume ratio which is density
as the density of a substance increases, the volume of a given mass of that substance  also increases.

if a liter of water is heated from 20ºc to 50ºc, what happens to its volume?

 when a liter of water is heater from 20 Celsius to 50 celsius,  the temperature increases and according to  the Charles law,
 Charles the temperature of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its volume provided pressure remain constant.
 If the temperature of a gas increases the volume will also increases.


the density of ethanol is 0.789 g/cm3 at 20°c. what volume of ethanol has a mass of 15.5 grams?
Density is given as

VOLYME= 0.789* 15.5
= 12.2295 CM CUBE

when oil spills in the ocean why does the oil float on the water
 when oil spill in the ocean , the oil will float on top of the water because the oil less dense than the water.
 The water with density of 1g per cm cube is denser than oil. Therefore the heavy mass will sink will the less dense will float.

how to clean oil spills in water

 we can clean oil spill on water by using what will break the oil molecules away.
This include using detergent, chemicals, booms and

most substances become less dense as the temperature increases which substance is an exception

 water is the exception, water at 4 degree centigrade tend to behave abnormally when heated, the volume decreases instead of expanding, tis is called anomalous expansion of water.
 When water is at temperature below zero degree centigrade, the volume increases as the temperature , reaches  zero degree it tends to decreases n volume as the temperature continue to increase until it reaches 4 degree celsius

what is the density of an object having a mass of 8.0 g and a volume of 25 cm3?



when oil spills in the ocean, why does the oil float on the water?

 The oil float because the oil is less dense than water, when two liquid with different densities are mixed the denser liquid will sink while the lighter liquid will float.

the work done in pushing a tv set a distance of 2 m with an average force of 20 n is

workdone= force * distance,
 the force is given as  20 newton and the distance moves is 2 meter
 therefore the workdone = 20*2=40joules.

the power required to exert 4-n force over 3 meters in 2 seconds is

 power is rate of energy consumption
 or power is  workdone divided by time
workdone = 4* 3= 12 Newton
t =2seconds
 power = 12/2 = 6j/s

when a car is braked to a stop, its kinetic energy is transformed to

 when  car is break to stop it kinetic energy is converted to the frictional force needed to top the, the car, also part of it is converted to heat energy.
 We cannot say that it is converted to potential energy but a car moving has a kinetic energy and by the time it stop it loses it mechanical energy.

the mass of a ball moving at 3 m/s with a momentum of 48 kg m/s is

momentum = mass * velocity

 =mv
48= m*3
M=48/3
M=16kg

a rifle recoils while firing a bullet. the speed of the rifle's recoil is small because the

the speed of the rifle recoil is small compared to that of the bullet because , the bullet has a very small mass compared to the rifle.
 And the newton’s law of motion requires that  the action and reaction must  be equal, thereforefore the recoil  velocity mut be small since the mass is large and on the bullet side the recoil velocity must be very high since the bullet mass is very small.
Mv =mu
“ to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”

a ball rolling down an incline has its maximum kinetic energy at

 a ball  rolling down an incline plane has it maximum kinetic energy  when the velocity is maximum, as a ball start to roll down an inclined plane it acceleration  changes with time, meaning it velocity increases and this velocity is maximum just before it hit the ground.
When a ball start to roll , it potential energy is maximum while the kinetic energy is minimum, when it is midway the potential and kinetic energy are equal, when it is just about to hit the ground the potential energy is minimum while the kinetic energy is maximum

binding energy per nucleon of helium-4



binding energy per nucleon of helium-4

to find the binding energy per  nucleon for helium nucleus, we first have to find the binding energy for the helium atom and then divide it by the mass number of elium atom
 the binding energy is given by
B.E= mc2
Where mass is the mass defects, and c is the speed of light in 3*108m/s
The mass defects is the difference between the calculated mass and the measured mass of an atom.
Helium has a mass of 4.002602 u
To find the calculated mass
 We start by
Helium-4 as an  mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2
 Therefore N= A-Z
N=4-2 =2
 Therefore   N(1.008664 u) +Z(1.00727647)
 2.017328 + 2.014552= 4.03188
Mass defects = calculated mass –measured  mass
= 0.029278
 This the mass defect,
B.E=  0.029278 *  3*108m/s
=8783400 * 1.67*10-27kg
= 0.000000000000000000014668278joules

[h1]calculate the binding energy eb of the nitrogen nucleus 14 7n.

[/h1]

 to calculate the binding energy of nitrogen, let us find the
 mass defect of nitrogen-14
 nitrogen-14 has an atomic number of  7 and mass number of 14
 the mass defect is the difference between the calculated mass and the measured mass,
 the calculated mass can be obtained as follows
Therefore   N(1.008664 u) +Z(1.00727647)
7(1.008664 u) +7(1.00727647)
7.060648 + 7.05093529
=14.11158329AMU
  The mass defects is = calculated mass-  measured  mass
Measured mass = 14.003241
The mass defects is = calculated mass-  measured  mass
14.11158329- 14.003241= 0.10834229amu
Mass defect is 0.10834229
B.E = mc2
But mass is measured in kg, therefore we have to convert our mass defects to  kg
0.10834229 * mass of electron
0.10834229* 1.67* 1027kg
1.809316243e*10-28 kg
B.E =MC2
= 1.809316243e*10-28 kg *(3*108)2
1.809316243e*10-28 kg *(9*1016)
=0.000000000016283846187 JOULES

Solve 3215p→ 0−1e+?

 To  solve the above equation, let me rewrite the equation
3215P→ 0−1e+?
we can balance , the above equation, by using the law of conservation of masses and charges, the law requires all mass number on both side must be equal and all atomic number for both side must be equal
let me rewrite the above equation
3215P→ 0−1e+azX
Where a I the mass number, z is the atomic number and X is the unknow nuclide
