V= I2R2 =5(20) = 100 V

100=I1R1=I1(10)

I1 =10 A

IT= 10 + 5 = 15 A

Cost = Energy* rate = Power*time*rate=1.5kW(330h)($0.05/kWh) = $24.75

C1V1 = C2V2

48(0.100) = C2(0.100 + 0.200)

C2= 16 g/L

  1. Begin with an acid.
  2. Add a few drops of indicator. Note the colour.
  3. Do the same with a base.
  4. Add base drop by drop to the acid until you see a colour in-between that of steps 2 and 3.
  5. Use pH paper to get the pH.
  6. Keep adding drops of base, noting the pH each time. When the colour changes to that of the base, that is the end of the turning point. Remember the turning point involves a pH range.

  1. Add phenophthalein to the acid. No colour results.
  2. Add base, drop by drop, until the first permanent pink colour results.

Ca+2 ( alkaline earth metal) and Cl-1 ( halogen)produce CaCl2.

A calcium atom loses two electrons, one to each chlorine. The resulting bonds are ionic.

V = I3R3

37.5 = 30I3

I3 = 1.25 A

Itop = 5 – 1.25 = 3.75 A

Vparallel = 37.5 = V1 + V2

V1= Itop*R1=3.75(4) =15 V

So V2 = 37.5-15 = 22.5 V

R2 = V2/Itop = 22.5/3.75 = 6 W.

Or…

1/Rp=1/[4+x) +1/30

But Rp = 37.5V/5A = 7.5W.

So 1/7.5=1/[4+x) +1/30

Multiply whole equation by 30(7.5)(4+x):

30(4+x) = 30(7.5) + 7.5(4+x)

120 + 30x = 225 + 30 + 7.5x

22.5x = 255 - 120

x = 6 W. Isn’t math beautiful?!

VIt = mcDt

6(I)(25)(60s/min)=200 g(4.19J/(gC))(38-24)

I = 1.30 A

57g / [8(12)+18(1)]= 0.50 mole C8H18

2/0.5 = 16/x

x = 4 moles of CO2.

4 (44g/mole) = 176 g of CO2.
