Two experimental runs are performed to determine the calorimetric properties of an alcohol which has a melting point of -10.0 C.
 
  In the first run, a 200-g cube of frozen alcohol, at the melting point, is added to 300 g of water at 20.0C in a styrofoam container. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the alcohol-water solution is at a temperature of 5.0C. In the second run, an identical cube of alcohol is added to 500 g of water at 20.0C and the temperature at thermal equilibrium is 10.0C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4190 J/kg  K. Assume no heat is exchanged with the styrofoam container and the surroundings. What is the heat of fusion of the alcohol?
  A) 7.1  104 J/kg
  B) 7.9  104 J/kg
  C) 5.5  104 J/kg
  D) 6.3  104 J/kg
  E) 8.7  104 J/kg

Question 2

In a particular case of Compton scattering, a photon collides with a free electron and scatters backwards. The wavelength after the collision is exactly double the wavelength before the collision.
 
  What is the wavelength of the incident photon? (mel = 9.11  10-31 kg, h = 6.626  10-34 J  s, c = 3.00  108 m/s)
  A) 6.0 pm B) 2.4 pm C) 4.8 pm D) 3.6 pm E) 1.2 pm

Did you know?

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

Did you know?

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.

Did you know?

Asthma-like symptoms were first recorded about 3,500 years ago in Egypt. The first manuscript specifically written about asthma was in the year 1190, describing a condition characterized by sudden breathlessness. The treatments listed in this manuscript include chicken soup, herbs, and sexual abstinence.

In women, pharmacodynamic differences include increased sensitivity to (and increased effectiveness of) beta-blockers, opioids, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and typical antipsychotics.

Did you know?

IgA antibodies protect body surfaces exposed to outside foreign substances. IgG antibodies are found in all body fluids. IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody made in response to an infection. IgE antibody levels are often high in people with allergies. IgD antibodies are found in tissues lining the abdomen and chest.
