A gas station owner suspects that he is being overcharged for gasoline deliveries by a gasoline supplier. The overcharge seems p

articularly high in the summer months. The owner hires an attorney, who then contracts with you as an expert witness to analyze the situation. As you investigate the gasoline supplier, you discover that he is not using temperature-compensated gauges on his delivery trucks. Therefore, on a hot day, the supplier is pumping expanded gasoline, which then contracts into a smaller volume in the owner's underground tanks. The supplier is charging for the expanded volume as measured by his non-compensated gauges. You report your information to the attorney, who then asks you to determine the percentage that the owner was overcharged on a delivery day when the outside temperature was 92.2°F and temperature of the underground tank was a constant 55.0°F.

Answer:

Explanation:

delta V = v * alpha * delta T

= V * 0.00053 * (92.2 - 55.0)

= 0.019716 V

percentage that the owner

= [delta V / V] * 100

= [0.019716 V / V] * 100

= 1.9716 %

Which statement about electrons and atomic orbitals is NOT true?
balandron [24]

<em>An electron has the same amount of energy in all orbitals  is not true</em>

\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Further~explanation}}}

In an atom there are levels of energy in the skin and sub skin.

  • This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level.

So electrons that occupy the orbitals in the lowest sub-skin have the lowest energy level

  • In the principle of Pauli's prohibition it was stated that there are no two electrons in one atom that can have the same four quantum numbers.

So suppose that there are two electrons occupying one orbital can have the same main quantum number (n), azimuth (l) and magnetic (m), then the last quantum number that is the quantum spin number (s) must be different.

So that the two electrons are different from just the quantum spin number, even though the other quantum numbers are the same.

So in one orbital only a maximum of 2 electrons is occupied, because if there is a third electron, this third electron will have the same quantum spin number as the previous electron

  • The electron cloud is a visual representation of the location of electrons in an atom.

Orbital is the place around the nucleus where electrons may be found

Electron clouds show the state of electrons in their orbitals

So electron clouds can show the condition of all orbitals in an atom

The lowest energy level of an electron occupies a sub-skin of 1s which has only one orbital

Charging electrons in the sub skin uses the following sequence:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.

Statement about electrons and atomic orbitals is not true is An electron has the same amount of energy in all orbitals

For which of the following problems would a scientist most likely use carbon-14?
spayn [35]

Answer:

To calculate the age of a piece of bone

Explanation:

Carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon that is unstable and decays into Nitrogen 14 by emitting an electron. The decay rate of radioactive material is  normally expressed in terms of its "half-life" (the time required by half the radioactive nuclei of a sample to undergo radioactive decay). The nice thing about carbon 14 is that its "half-life" is about 5730 years, which gives a nice reference to measure the age of fossils that are some thousand years old.

Carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of objects that have been living organisms long ago. They measure how much carbon 14 is left in the object after years of decaying without having exchange with the ambient via respiration, ingestion, absorption, etc. and therefore having renewed the normal amount of carbon 14 that is in the ambient.

A rock is not a living organism, so its age cannot be determined by carbon 14 dating.

Electric charge on the plastic cube: 1.3\cdot 10^{-7}C

Explanation:

The electric potential around a charged sphere (such as the Van der Graaf) generator is given by

V(r)=\frac{kQ}{r}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge on the sphere

r is the distance from the centre of the sphere

Here we have:

V = 200,000 V on the surface of the sphere, so at r = 12.0 cm

We need to find the voltage V' at 2.0 cm from the edge of the sphere, so at

r' = 12.0 + 2.0 = 14.0 cm

Since the voltage is inversely proportional to r, we can use:

Vr=V'r'\\V'=\frac{Vr}{r'}=\frac{(200,000)(12.0)}{14.0}=171,429 V

This is the potential at the location of the plastic cube.

Now we can use the law of conservation of energy, which states that the initial electric potential energy of the cube is totally converted into kinetic energy when the plastic cube is at infinite distance from the generator. So we can write:

qV' = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where:

q is the charge on the plastic cube

V' is the potential at the location of the cube

m = 5.0 g = 0.005 kg is the mass of the cube

v = 3.0 m/s is the final speed of the cube

Solving for q, we find the charge on the cube:

q=\frac{mv^2}{2V'}=\frac{(0.005)(3.0)^2}{2(171,429)}=1.3\cdot 10^{-7}C
