The value of r is = 0.127

Explanation:

Generally for a series connection the equivalent resistance is mathematically evaluated as

R_e = R_1 + R_2

Where are R_1 and R_2 are given in the question

The current is mathematically represented as

$I_s = \frac{V_o}{R_e}$

$= \frac{V_o}{R_1 +R_2} ----(1)$

Generally for a parallel connection the equivalent resistance is mathematically evaluated as

$R_e = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}$

$=\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 + R_2}$

The current is mathematically represented as

$I_p = \frac{V_o}{R_e}$

$I_p =\frac{V_o}{\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 +R_2} }$

$= \frac{V_o(R_1 +R_2)}{R_1 R_2} -----(2)$

Now we are told that I_p = 10I_s

=> $\frac{V_o(R-1 +R_2)}{R_1R_2} = 10 [\frac{V_o}{(R_1 +R_2)} ]$

=> $\frac{(R_1 + R_2)^2}{R_1 R_2} = 10$

=> $\frac{R_1^2 +R_1^2 + 2 R_1 R_2}{R_1 R_2 } = 10$

From the question $r = \frac{R_1}{R_2}$

Substituting this into the equation we have

$r + \frac{1}{r} =10-2$

Multiplying through by r

r^2 -8r +1 =0

Solving the equation using quadratic formula $\frac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}$

$r = \frac{8+ \sqrt{8^2 -4} }{2} \ or \ r= \frac{8 -\sqrt{8^2-4} }{2}$

Now recall the R_2 R_1 so r < 1

Hence r = 0.127

The value for r = 0.12

Explanation:

In series combination, we have:

Req = R1 + R2

The current is:

$I_{s} =\frac{V_{0} }{R_{eq} } =\frac{V_{0} }{R_{1}+R_{2} }$ (eq. 1)

In parallel combination, we have:

$R_{eq}= \frac{R_{1}R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$

The current is:

$I_{p} =\frac{V_{0}(R_{1}+R_{2})}{R_{1}R_{2}}$ (eq. 2)

If Ip = 10Is

$\frac{V_{0}(R_{1}+R_{2})}{R_{1}R_{2} } =10(\frac{V_{0}}{R_{1}+R_{2}} )\\\frac{(R_{1}+R_{2})^{2} }{R_{1}R_{2}} =10\\\frac{R_{1}^{2}+R_{2}^{2}+2R_{1}R_{2} }{R_{1}R_{2}} =10\\\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} +\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}} +2=10\\$

if Y = r

$1+(\frac{1}{Y} )=8\\Y^{2}-8Y+1=0$

Solving:

$Y=\frac{8+-\sqrt{60} }{2} \\Y=\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} =0.12$

1.the balanced chemical equation is as below

cu + 2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂ +2 ag

2.the much silver produced is 50.9 g

step 1: find the moles of cu

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236 moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the moles of ag

from equation above cu: ag is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag =0.236 moles x 2/1 =0.472 moles

step 3: find the mass of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass = 0.472 moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3. the much silver collected worth is 1.797 oz

convert 50.9 g to oz

that is 1 gram = 0.0353 oz

50.9 grams =? oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1 gram} =1.797 oz
