Consider three identical metal spheres

Reference no: EM13535798

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of -2q. Sphere B carries a charge of +5q. Sphere C carries no net charge. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Lastly, sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it.

(a) How much charge ends up on sphere C?

What is the change in entropy for the entire mixed system : An air parcel occupied by an ideal gas (T1 = 255 K, V1 = 1500m3, m1 = 1680 kg) collides and mixes with a second air parcel occupied by a second ideal gas (T2 = 280 K, V2 = 1200 m3, m2 = 1392 kg). Assuming the specific heat capacities of the gases in ..
