Re: General Quiz

Hi bobbym,

The answer #2409 is correct. Excellent!

#2410. Which law states that law states that when a current of voltaic electricity is propagated along a metallic conductor, the heat evolved in a given time is proportional to the resistance of the conductor multiplied by the square of the electric intensity?
(the law is also stated as H = RI[sup]2[/sup], where H is rate of evolution of heat in watts, the unit of heat being the joule; R is resistance in ohms; and I is current in amperes.)

Hi bobbym,

I made a mistake in #2415. You are correct, lots of conditions have those symptoms. The answer I thought was 'gastroenteritis'.

Re: General Quiz

Hi bobbym,

The answer #2423 is correct. Good work!

#2424. Name an explosive made by reacting 1,2,3-trihydroxypropane with a mixture of concentrated sulphuric and nitric acids; despite its name and method of preparation, it is not a nitro compound, but an ester of nitric acid, CH2(NO3)CH(NO3)CH2(NO3). (It is used in dynamites.)

#2425. Name a pale yellow, solid organic compound made by adding nitrate (-NO2) groups to toluene; it can safely be melted and poured into casings. (It is relatively insensitive to shock and, for practical purposes, cannot be exploded without a detonator, making it the preferred chemical explosive, used in munitions and for demolition.)
