    Hi, I am stuck on this question and would really appreciate some pointers on how to solve it, The specific heat capacity of the lava is 1600 J kg^-1 oC^1. when all the erupted lava cools from the eruption temperature of 1050 degrees Celsius to 15 degrees celsius, the heat released is 2 x 10 ^15 J. I need to calculate a value for the total mass of lava that erupted. Many thanks for any advice

    Is it t-dependent or t-independent and why? I say t-dependent and cited the definition. Not sure that is right, though. TIA

    What up, I really need some help on this, I'm trying not to fail - I need to fill in blanks....( [ ] = means I filled it in ) The element called [ chromium ] has an atomic number of 24. Its symbol is [ Cr ] . When an atom of this element has a mass number of 52, the atom contains _________ protons and ___________ neutrons. The most common ion charge of this element is [ 3+ ] . How do I know how many protons and neutrons it has? I looked at periodic table and it doesn't say how many Much appreciated.

    I'm asking these questions because I've honestly never done them in class, the teacher was absent today, and I haven't been able to find the solution in the textbook: An eye of mean diamter 2.5 cm has a near point of 15 cm and far point of 120 m. 1. When this eye looks at an object placed at its far point, what will it's focal length be? 2. When an object is 1 cm from the eye, what is the power of the eye's focusing system in dioptres? I've done all the other questions that I was given, and this is due tomorrow. Once again, thanks for guiding us students.

    An exercise I have problems with: In a thermos bottle with heat capacity 90 J/K there is 0.4 kg water. The temperature of the water and the thermos bottle is 313 K. Brass with mass 0.1 kg has temperature 363 K and specific heat capacity 380 J/(kg *K). It is dropped into the thermos bottle. a) What will the temperature of the water be? b) 0.02 kg ice with temperature 273 K is added. What will the temperature of the water be now? I presume that no heat will leak from the thermos bottle. I think I will manage a), but b) is more difficult. Help will be appreciated.

    Okay, the question asked me to provide an example of an element that had the properties that it specified. All the others were easy, but I'm really confused about this one: - Lacks metallic lustre - Lacks ductility - Good conductor of electricity as a solid - Very unreactive - Solid at room temperature Here's what I think: - Can't be a metal then - Metalloid or non-metal then - Good conductor? ... - Very unreactive, noble gases? (since gold was eliminated) - Solid? Not the noble gases then... So what could this element be?

    Well, I've been doing Gr.12 U Chemistry and have been finding it difficult most likely because I do not have any of the prerequistes for the class. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could verify any of my anwsers as I have been struggling with it...Here it is if anyone is interested: In cases of severe diabetes, a patient’s tissues cannot break down glucose, and, instead, the body breaks down fat for its energy. The fats are broken down in the liver and muscles, producing several compounds called “ketone bodies,” one of which is acetone. a. The acetone produced in this process is carried in the blood and urine. Explain why acetone is soluble in these aqueous solu…

    Hello there! My 16 year old son is in the process of doing his science (foundation) GCSE and is really struggling with a coursework regarding 'oil droplets'. His coursework involves molecules/hydrocarbons and it seems really challenging. I would attempt to help him, however my science knowledge is severely lacking! Have any of you scientific guys come across this coursework before? If so is there anything you remember about it etc? any help/tips would be greatly appreciated! thanks, Sally

    Hi, I really need help with this question I've tried everything! let's assume a critical/flat universe. Ho=70 km/s/Mpc. I computed Boltzman law for energy (volume) density by integrating Planck's law p rad= alpha*T^4. alpha= 7.56*10^-15 ergs/cm^3/K^4 (Which I computed to be 7.56*10^-16 Joules/m^3/K^4) I dont know where to begin with this question.. there's no other values provided . I'm supposed to somehow find out the redshift at which the universe switched from being radiation dominated to matter dominated (point of time at which radiation density is equal to mass density). and the temperature of the universe at that time .

  23. Started by mathtrek,

    Got this (rather tricky) separation of variables problem: Expanding the LaPlace's equation, I get my two ODEs: d²X / dx² - k²X = 0 d²Y / dy² + k²Y = 0 Because one of the boundary conditions has a sin(pi*x/L) term in, I've written the general solution for d²X / dx² - k²X = 0 as: X(x) = Asin(kx) + Bcos(kx) (think that's right...) However I'm having major problems with part (b)... my natural assumption would be that the entire general solution reads as: T(x,y) = [Asin(kx) + Bcos(kx)][Ce^ky + De^ky] However using that I can't zero enough terms given my boundary conditions to get anywhere. HELP!!!!

    Assume that the current age of the universe is 13.4 billion years old, and that we live in a matter-dominated, omega_m = 1, critical universe, what is the age of the universe at redshift 0.6? HINT: use the current age of the universe to pin down the proportionality relationship between age and the scale factor I know that (t_o) proportional to (1/H_o) proportional to (1/z), but I don't know how to connect this with the scale factor...and I have no idea how to "use the current age of the universe to pin down the proportionality relationship between age and the scale factor"
