Chlorine and oxygen form two different c...

Chlorine and oxygen form two different compounds. One of them contains 81.6% chlorine and the other contains 59.7% chlorine. Which law of chemical combination supports these observations.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the 1st and 2nd compound percentage of oxygen are 18.4 and 40.31 respectively. The ratio of the masses of oxygen which combine separately with fixed mass of carbon (81.6 parts) in these compounds is
`=18.4:(40.3xx81.6)/(59.7)=18.4:55.08~~1:3`
so, the observation supports the law of multiple proportion.

    A and B are two identical point sources of acoustic waves, each producing sound of 1 kHz. They are located in two trains, one in each of the engines of the trains which runs on two close parallel . An observer is standing in between the tracks and listening to the sound received from of the sources. If one of the trains remains stationary while the other train recedes from the observer with a speed which is 1% of the velocity of sound in air, the number of beats heard by the observer per seconds will be (in Hz)

    Let us take an electrical conductor in which the electrical energy supplied is entirely converted into heat . If , for the conductor , the terminal potential difference = V , the curent through it = I and its resistance = R , then the electrical energy cnsumed in its t is , W=I^(2)t (from Ohm'slaw R=(V)/(I) ) . So , if thr electrical and the heat energies both are expressed in joule , the heat developed in tiem t is H=I^(2)Rt . However , If H is expressed in the conventional unit calorie , then from the law , W = JH , we may write H=(I^(2)Rt)/(J) , where , J = mechanical equivalent of heat =4.2J."cal"^(-1) . The resistance R of a conducting wire depends on its material , its length l and its area of cross section a .The resistivity of the meterial of the conductor is , rho=(RA)/(l) . When more than one heat -producing conductors are kept in series in a circuit , the same current passes through each of them , but as their resistance are f=different in general , the terminal potential differences are also unequal . On the other hand , each conductor has the same terminal potential difference in a parallel combination , however , the curents through them are different . The terminal potential difference and the currents through two conducting wires are both in the ratio 2 : 1 The ratio of the rates of heat evolved in them is
