Answer:

The region just above the light bulb is warmest due to the phenomenon of convection.

Explanation:

In the given case, as Xavier places his hands close to a light bulb, he feels that some of the regions around the light bulb are warmer in comparison to others. This takes place due to the phenomenon known as convection because of which the region directly above the light bulb gets warmest in comparison to the other regions.  

Convection refers to the transfer of heat with the help of mass movement of fluid like air, and the phenomenon takes place above a hot surface as hot air expands, becomes less dense, and elevates. This thing can be supported by the ideal gas law.

The temperature of the carbon dioxide atmosphere near the surface of venus is 475°c. calculate the average kinetic energy per mo
harkovskaia [24]
Answer: <span>9330 j/mol
</span>
The temperature of the gas is 475 ° Celcius which is equal to: 475 +273= 748 °K. The formula for kinetic energy of individual atoms would be

K= 3/2 * kB * T
If kB is 1.38 * 10^-23 J/K and 1 mol is made from 6.02*10^23 molecule, then the kinetic energy of 1 mol CO2 would be:
K= 3/2 * kB * T
K= 3/2 * 1.38 * 10^-23  * 748 * 6.02 *10^23 =9324 J/mol

Recall that your hypothesis is that these values are the fraction of atoms that are still radioactive after n half-life cycles.
jolli1 [7]

Answer : A= 0.5, B = 0.25 , C = 0.125, D = 0.015625 and E = 0.00390625

Explanation :

Half life of a substance is defined as the amount of time taken by the substance to reduce to half of its original amount.

Here n represents the number of half lives.

The amount of substance that remains after n half lives can be calculated using the given formula, 0.5^{n}

So when we have n =1,

Fraction of substance that remains = 0.5¹ = 0.5.

That means after first half life over, the amount of substance that remains is 0.5 times that of original.

Therefore we have A = 0.5

When n = 2, we have 0.5² = 0.25

So when 2 half lives are over, the amount of substance that remains is 0.25 times that of original

Therefore B = 0.25

When n = 3, we have 0.5³ = 0.125

So when 3 half lives are over, the amount of substance that remains is 0.125 times that of original.

Therefore we have C = 0.125

When n = 6 , we have 0.5⁶ = 0.015625

So D = 0.015625

When n = 8, we have 0.5⁸ = 0.00390625

Therefore E = 0.00390625

The values for A, B, C, D and E are 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.015625 and 0.00390625 respectively.

4.1 kg of a plastic, used to make plastic bottles, has a carbon footprint of 6.0 kg of carbon dioxide.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The carbon footprint of one plastic bottle of mass 23.5 g is 34.390 g.

Explanation:

The carbon footprint of one plastic bottle can be estimated by simple rule of three. That is:

x = \frac{23.5\,g}{4100\,g}\times 6000\,g

x = 34.390\,g

The carbon footprint of one plastic bottle of mass 23.5 g is 34.390 g.

How could one rapidly separate red #40 from zinc oxide? indicate every step.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Red #40 is soluble in water while zinc oxide is not.
So the easiest way to separate them is as follows:
1- add water to the mixture until red #40 is dissolved in the water
2- filter to separate the zinc oxide 
4- heat the solution of red #40 and water until water evaporates and red#40 remains.

Analysis of the water content of a lake found in the desert showed that it contained 16.6 percent chloride ion, and had a densit
IRISSAK [1]

Answer : The molarity of the chloride ion in the water is, 5.75 M

Explanation :

As we are given that 16.6 % chloride ion that means 16.6 grams of chloride ion present 100 grams of solution.

First we have to calculate the volume of solution.

\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{\text{Density of solution}}

\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{100g}{1.23g/mL}=81.3mL

Now we have to calculate the molarity of chloride ion.

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of chloride ion}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of chloride ion}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{16.6g\times 1000}{35.5g/mole\times 81.3mL}=5.75mole/L=5.75M

Thus, the molarity of the chloride ion in the water is, 5.75 M
