Why was the micrometer used instead of the vernier caliper to measure the diameter of a
wire.

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

1. how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 40.0 g of argon from 25c to 40c? the specific heat capacity of argon is 0.520 j/(g·k) 2a. 23.0 ml of 0.100 m hcl (standard) are added from a buret to neutralize 50.0 ml of an unknown basic solution. 2b. if the oh- produced in the previous reaction came from ca(oh)2, then what is the molarity of the ca(oh)2? 3.calculate the new freezing-point of a solution when 60.5 grams of cacl2 solute is dissolved in 0.612 kg of water. 4. what is the maximum number of moles of alcl3 that can be produced from 5.0 mol al and 6.0 mol cl2? 5. a sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 150 ml when its pressure is 0.923 atm. if the pressure is increased to 0.987 atm and the temperature remains constant, what will the new volume be? 6. nitrogen gas in a closed container at a temperature of 100.0 oc and 3.0 atm is heated to 300 oc. what is the pressure of the gas at the higher temperature?
