A large paraffin candle has a mass of 96.83 gram. A metal cup with 100.0 mL of water at 16.2°C absorbs the heat from the burning candle and increases its temperature to 35.7°C. Once the burning is ceased, the temperature of the water was 35.7°C and the paraffin had a mass of 96.14 gram. Determine the
heat of combustion of paraffin in kJ/gram. GIVEN: density of water = 1.0 g/mL.

Which is not a characteristic of a heat pump? a. it is used in air conditioners. b. it uses a refrigerant. c. it requires no work. d. it reverses the normal flow of thermal energy.

Which configuration would produce an electric current? a) rotate a coil of copper wire between two magnets. b) connect a wire between a copper and zinc strip sitting in a beaker of water. c) connect a wire to the (+) positive end of a battery and the other end to a light bulb. d) connect a wire to the negative end of a battery and the other end to a light bulb.

The coulomb's law explains which of the following? select all the force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the charge on each object. the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the charge on each object. the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the distance separating them. the force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance separat coulomb's law is similar to newton's 2nd law. if the force between two objects is f and the charge on both objects is doubled, the new force between the would now be 2f. if the force between two objects is 2f and the distance separating them is doubled, the new force between the objects would now o the be zf.
