Electrical devices have resistance because they

2kg of refrigerant 134a undergoes a polytropic process in a piston-cylinder assembly from an initial state of saturated vapor at 2 bar to a final state of 12 bar, 80 degree c. a)determine the work for the process in kj. b)sketch the process on a p-v diagram.

Because air contracts as it cools, the air pressure inside a freezer is typically lower than on the outside. why do ice cubes inside a freezer tend to shrink over time? a. the ice dissolves oxygen from the air, forming a denser crystalline matrix.b. the ice reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the air, forming gaseous carbon compounds.c. the ice melts, and then the liquid freezes as ice crystals on the bottom of the freezer.d. the ice sublimes, and then the water vapor deposits as ice crystals on the sides of the freezer.

Why do metals "give up" their valence electrons?
