9 A body of water in a calorimeter is heated by sending a strong current of electricity through a coil of wire submerged in the water. If the current through the coil be doubled, what will be the effect upon the amount of heat received by the water from the coil? D 10 Two similar voltaic cells, each having an electromotive force of 1.4 volts and an internal resistance of 3 ohms are connected in series. They then give a current of 0.2 amperes. What is the resistance of the connecting wire? What current would pass if the connecting wire were of the same material but twice as long and of twice the cross section? 11 A lump of alum whose specific gravity is 1.67 weighs 12.81 grams when submerged in kerosene oil having a specific gravity of 0.78. What is the weight of the alum in air? 12 From the following data compute the amount of heat required to melt one gram of ice: Weight of calorimeter 174.2 grams. Weight of calorimeter and water 707.9 grams. Weight of calorimeter and water and ice 882.8 grams. Initial temperature of water 49.4° C. Final temperature of water 18.2° C. Examiners EDWARD L.

Nadie había vivido en ella desde la muerte de la señora de Penáguilas; pero D. Francisco, creyendo á su sobrina digna de alojarse allí, arregló la estancia con pulcritud y ciertos primores elegantes que no se conocían en vida de su esposa. Daba el balcón al mediodía y á la huerta, por lo cual la estancia hallábase diariamente inundada de gratos olores y de luz, y alegrada por el armonioso charlar de los pájaros. Florentina, en los pocos días de su residencia allí, había dado á la habitación el molde, digámoslo así, de su persona. Diversas cosas y partes de aquélla daban á entender la clase de mujer que allí vivía, así como el nido da á conocer el ave. Si hay personas que de un palacio hacen un infierno, hay otras que para convertir una choza en palacio no tienen más que meterse en ella. |
