10. Imagine you have a system in which you have 54 grams of ice. You can melt this ice and then vaporize it all at 0 C. The melting and vaporization are done reversibly into a balloon held at a pressure of 0.250 bar. Here are some facts about water you may wish to know. The density of liquid water at 0 C is 1 g/cm³. The density of ice at 0 C is 0.917 g/cm³. The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water is 2.496 kJ/gram and the enthalpy of fusion of solid water is 333.55 J/gram. A. How much energy does the ice absorb as heat when it melts? B. How much work is involved in melting the ice? C. What is the total change in energy for melting the ice? D. What is the enthalpy change for melting the ice? E. What is the entropy change for melting the ice? F. What is the change in Helmholtz energy for melting the ice? G. What is the change in Gibbs energy for melting the ice?
In the figure Q = 5.7 nC and all other quantities are accurate to 2 significant figures. What is the magnitude of the force on the charge Q? (k = 1/4πε 0 = 8.99 × 109 N · m2/C2)
Now add a fourth charged particle, particle 3, with positive charge q3, fixed in the yz-plane at (0,d2,d2). What is the net force F→ on particle 0 due solely to this charge? Express your answer (a vector) using k, q0, q3, d2, i^, j^, and k^. Include only the force caused by particle 3.
