Question
Consider the combination of capacitors in the figure below (C_1 = 22.0 mu F, C_2 = 1.00 mu F). Find the equivalent single capacitance of the two capacitors in series and redraw the diagram Soon after a bear entered a cave for winter the entrance was sealed by snow and ice. The bear hibernated on a narrow ledge above a small pool of water (the body heat of the bear was just enough to keep the water from freezing). The pool was 10 cm deep and there was another 10 cm of organic sediment on the bottom of the pond. Buried in the sediment was an old container full of a TCE. Coincidentally, the container just happened to rupture 10 min after the entrance to the cave was sealed. Assuming that there was a very large supply of the TCE and that the pool-cave-bear system reached equilibrium during the winter, the concentration of TCE in the bear's blood when he leaves the cave in the spring would be: a) impossible to predict; b) equal to the concentration of the chemical in the air in the cave; c) equal to the saturation concentration of the chemical in bear blood d) equal to the concentration of the chemical in the poolExplanation / Answer
a) Impossible to predict.
TCE which is trichloroehtylene is a halocarbon is a solvent that is immiscible with water and denser than water. so the probability of this chemical dissolving and reaching the surface of water is minimal. Hence there is a less probability that it reaches the cave and further entering the bear blood.
