How does alternating current differ from the direct current?

Answer»

Electric current flows in two ways as an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). In alternating current, current keeps switching directions periodically – forward and backward. While in the direct current it flows in a single direction steadily. The main difference between AC and DC lies in the direction in which the electrons flow. In DC, the electrons flow steadily in a single direction while electrons keep switching directions, going forward and then backwards in AC.

Add solution please

Answer»

We know that -

One mole of CO2 = 44 g CO2 = molar mass of CO2

∴ mass of CO2 in 5 moles = 5 x 44 g

= 220 g . CO2

Hence, 5 moles CO2 contains 220 g of CO2.

Calcolate Unc force esented on a rolket, given that the propelling gases are expelled at the of 1500 kgs with a speed of 4,0 10 tn/s (at the moment of takeoff)

Answer»

We know that P = mv

where P = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Given v = 4 x 104 m/s

dm/dt = 1500 kg/s

We have,

F = dP/dt

F = v(dm/dt) (∵ P = mv)

F = 4 x 104 x 1500

F = 6000 x 104

F = 6 x 107 N

sodium hypochlorite (NaCIO) is the active ingredient in bleaching agents. What is the percentage composition of chlorine in NaCIO

Answer»

Molar mass of NaClO = 74.5 g

Atomic mass of chlorine = 35.5 g/mol

∵ 1 mole of NaClO molecule contains = 1 mole of Cl atom

∴ 74.5 g of NaClO contains = 35.5 g, Cl atom

∴ Percentage composition of chlorine = 35.5/74.5 x 100

= 47.65%

Hence, percentage composition of chlorine in NaClO will be 47.65%.

Why is Antoine van Leeuwenhoek celled 'father of microbiology'?

Answer»

Antonie  van Leeuwenhoek was a 17th century Dutch scientist. He is best known for discovering protozoa, and creating more than 500 simple microscopes. Van Leeuwenhoek was the first scientist to closely observe cells under a microscope. One of his most groundbreaking dicoveries was also one of his first. His observations, in 1674, of scummy pond water, led to the first visual descriptions and illustrations of such common organisms as the algae spirogyra. This contributed towards the foundation of several branches of biology. He made one of the first recorded observations of bacteria when he studied the plaque from his teeth. He noticed what he called ‘animalcules’ in the saliva sample. These animalcules were actually bacteria.  He gava cells their name because he thought they resembled the shape of a monk’s quarters. Although Van Leeuwenhoek never received any formal scientific training, he is considered to br the father of microbiology for his contributions to that field of science.
