    B_water= 2.2*10^9 Pa Here, Δp = 1, V = 1 litre Therefore, ΔV = -VΔp/B = 1*1/2.2*109 = -4.54545*10^-10 m^3 c: Why must B be large for a material that is easy to compress?

  • Which will be a better cold compress, water or ethanol; Why are steam burns more severe?

    For water this latent heat is 2258 kJ/kg - we need about 2.2 million joules of heat to evaporate 1 liter of water that are already at 100 degrees Celsius. In contrast ethanol's latent heat is 838 kJ/kg or about one third that of water.

  • Concentration and Molarity Determined

    Molarity is an expression of the moles of solute (NaOH) per liter of solution (water). To work this problem, you need to be able to calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and be able to convert cubic centimeters into liters.
