The diameter of the tungsten wire in a lightbulb filament is very small, less than two thousandths of an inch, or about 1/20 mm.

The mass of the filament is so very small - 0.0176 grams - that it would take 1600 filaments to weigh an ounce! How many tungsten Atoms are in a typical lightbulb filament?

Answer:

5.76x10¹⁹ atoms

Explanation:

In this case, we have the mass of the tungsten which is 0.0176 g, to get the atoms of the filament of tungsten, we need to use the avogadro number which is:

N° = 6.02x10²³

This number is relationed with the number of moles of any atom or molecule. So to get the atoms of the tungsten, we need to get the number of moles of the tungsten. This can be done using the molecular weight of tungsten which is 183.84 g/mol:

n = 0.0176 / 183.84

n = 9.57x10⁻⁵ moles

Now that we have the moles, we can use the avogadro number to get the atoms:

If: 1 mol = 6.02x10²³ atoms, then 9.57x10⁻⁵ are:

n° atoms = 9.57x10⁻⁵ * 6.02x10²³

n° atoms = 5.76x10¹⁹ atoms of tungsten

The number of tungsten Atoms in a typical light bulb filament is

5.76 × 10^{19}  atoms of W

Explanation:

Write the given values of the problem

The diameter the tungsten wire in a light bulb filament Tungsten element W : molar mass = 183.84 g / mol

0.0176 g W ×  \frac{1mol}{183.84 g} = 0.000096 mol W

0.000096 mol W ×  \frac{6.02 × [tex]10^{23 atoms}}{1 mol W}[/tex]

= 5.76 × 10^{19} atoms of W

The potential energy diagram for a reaction starts at 180 kJ and ends at 300 kJ. What type of reaction does the diagram best rep
aleksklad [387]

Answer: Endothermic reaction

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

As the energy of reactants is 180 kJ and that of products is 300 kJ, the energy of products is greater than that of reactants, which means  the energy has been absorbed and reaction is endothermic.

Write an equation for the formation of bf3(g) from its elements in their standard states.
blagie [28]
In nature, boron is monoatomic. Therefore, its formula is B.
On the other hand, fluorine is diatomic. Therefore, its formula is F2

Now, the basic unbalanced equation is:
B + F2 .........> BF3

Now, we need to balance this equation. As you can see, we have two fluorine moles entering the reaction and 3 formed in the products.
Balancing the equation, we will reach the following balanced reaction:
2B + 3F2 .......> 2BF3

A toy car is placed at 0 on a number line. It moves 9 cm to the left, then 4 cm to the right, and then 6 cm to the left. What is
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

19

Explanation:

The total distance traveled by the toy cay would be 19 cm.

The total distance traveled should not be mistaken for total displacement. While displacement measures the distance and direction from the starting position of the toy car relative to its final position, the total distance traveled is calculated by adding all the movements of the toy car together. Hence;

Total distance traveled = 9 + 4 + 6 = 19 cm

The human body is 0.0040% iron. How many milligrams of iron does a 165 pound person contain?​
Fofino [41]

Answer:

in a body of 165 pounds, the iron content is 2993.707 mg

Explanation:

  • % iron = 0.0040% = (mass iron / mass human) * 100

⇒ mass iron / mass human = 4 E-5

∴ mass human = 165 pounds

⇒ mass iron = 165 pounds * 4 E-5

⇒ mass iron = 6.6 E-3 pounds * ( 453.592 g/pound ) * ( 1000 mg/g )

⇒ mass iron = 2993.707 mg iron
