3 resistors, R1, R2 and R3 are attached in parallel across a 6V cell with resistances 3, 4 and 5 Ohms respectively. Calculate the current across each resistor.

First off draw the circuit. The voltage across each resistor is equal (i.e. 6V). From here we just have to use Ohm's law (V = I x R) to calculate the currents across each resistor. This gives us: R1; 6V = I ...

Solve the inequality x^2 – 5x – 14 > 0.

In order to solve this, the quadratic must be factorised. This means we're trying to get the equation into the form (x+a)(x+b)>0 where a and b are constants where a x b = -14 and a + b = -5. This turns ou...

The gases X & Y react with each other to produce gas Z according to the equation: 2X + Y ->2Z. 100cm3 of gas X was mixed with 10cm3 of gas Y, in a freely moving sealed gas syringe The reaction went to completion. What was the final volume of the syringe?

What's the key information we need to extract from the question: reaction went to completionmolar ratios of X, Y and ZGas Y is the limiting factor & Gas X is in excess If gas Y is the limiting factor, an...
