A family comes home from a long vacation with laundry to do and showers to take. The water heater has been turned off during vacation. If the water heater has a capacity of 51.3 gallons and a 4940 W heating element, how much time is required to raise the temperature of the water from 19.4°C to 63.3°C? Assume that the heater is well insulated and no water is withdrawn from the tank during this time.
In my laboratory, if I notice my vacuum system has a leak to atmosphere, I use a mass spectrometer to find the leak. I connect my vacuum system to the mass spectrometer, and spray my systems walls with helium. If the mass spectrometer reads helium when I spray a particular wall of my system, I can pinpoint where the leak is. Suppose an ionized helium atom has a mass of 6.6 x 10^-27 kg and a speed of 4.4 x 10 ^5 m/s as it moves into the mass spectrometer. It moves perpendicular to a .75 T magnetic field on a circular path that has a .012-m radius. Determine whether the charge of the ionized atom is +e or +2e.
The changes in the sleep cycle of a graduate student due to thepandemic causes him to become rather careless. One day, he forgets to turn off the cylindrical electric heater in a chemical laboratory after he is done using it to prepare an aqueous glucose solution. The temperature in the laboratory is 22 °C, and the energy transfer to the heater is 350 W. The diameter of the heater is 20 cm. Determine the surface temperature of the heater. Will this temperature of the heater change over time? Why, or why not? If the temperature of the heater does not change over time, determine the value of this temperature. If the temperature of the heater changes over time, determine the final value of this temperature.
