Use the crisscross method to find the chemical formula for the ionic compound formed by strontium (Sr) and bromine (Br).

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

The amount of heat required to change liquid water to vapor at its boiling temperature is 2256 kj/kg. the amount of heat required to change liquid mercury to its vapor state at its boiling temperature is 295 kj/kg. one kg of each substance is currently at its boiling point. how will the amount of thermal energy required to change each substance from a liquid to a gas differ?

The flame produced by the burner of a gas (propane) grill is a pale blue color when enough air mixes with the propane (c3h8) to burn it completely. for every gram of propane that flows through the burner, what volume of air is needed to burn it completely? assume that the temperature of the burner is 195.0°c, the pressure is 1.05 atm, and the mole fraction of o2 in air is 0.210.
