Why is there an energy crisis if energy is supposedly conserved? Explain your answer and cite one example

Chemistry

Answer:

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it does change its form. And not all forms of energy are usable and it gets dissipated as heat energy and sound energy. The energy that is wasted cannot be recovered.

Explain why a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.
Jet001 [13]

An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.

On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light  which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.

Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.

The partial pressure of N2 in a mixture of gases, where the total pressure is 1.50 atm, is 300. torr. What is the mole fraction
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The mole fraction of N₂ is 0.26.

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure. So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

PT = PA + PB

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

Dalton's partial pressure law can also be expressed in terms of the mole fraction of the gas in the mixture. The mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the number of moles of all the components present.

So in a mixture of two or more gases, the partial pressure of gas A can be expressed as:

PA = XA * PT

In this case:

  • PA= PN₂= 300 torr
  • XA=XN₂= ?
  • PT= 1.50 atm= 1140 torr (being 1 atm= 760 torr)

Replacing:

300 torr= XN₂*1140 torr

Solving:

X_{N_{2} } =\frac{300 torr}{1140 torr}

XN₂= 0.26

<u><em>The mole fraction of N₂ is 0.26.</em></u>

What did rutherfords gold foil experiment help him conclude
Naya [18.7K]
It allowed him to realize that the mass of an atom is concentrated at its center because the atoms mostly went through the foil but some were deflected. He also realized that an atom probably wasn't just empty space and scattered electron and it had a positive center.
