The resistance of the copper wire is 0.1039 Ω.

In calculating the resistance of a wire, the formula below can be used.

Resistance = (Resistivity*Length of wire)/(Cross-section Area)

The resistivity of copper wire is 1.72 x 10-8 Ωm. The length of the wire is 20.0 m and the area of the wire is 3.3103x10-6 square meters. The area of the wire is calculated by using the formula below.

Cross-section area= (π/4)(diameter)^2

Cross-section area=(π/4)(2.053 mm or 2.053x10-3 m)^2

Cross-section area= 3.3103x10-6 square meters

Calculating for the resistance of the wire:

Resistance= (1.72x10-8 Ωm * 20.0 m)/( 3.3103x10-6 m2)

Resistance=0.1039 Ω

A student wants to make a 0.150 M aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate but only has 11.27 g of AgNO3. What volume of the 0.150

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

442.3 mL

Explanation:

Remember that Molarity is a measure of concentration in Chemistry and it's defined as the number of moles of the substance divided by liters of the solution:

$M=\frac{Moles of substance X}{Volume of the solution}$

Then, you can express 11.27 g of AgNO3 as moles of AgNO3 using the molar mass of the compound:

$11.27 g AgNO_{3} *\frac{1 mole AgNO_{3}}{169.87 g AgNO_{3}} = 0.06634 moles AgNO_{3}$

Then you can solve for the volume of the solution:

$Volume of the solution=\frac{Moles of AgNO_{3}}{M} =\frac{0.06634 mol AgNO_{3}}{0.150 M} =0.4423 L = 442.3 mL$

A strip of sodium metal is bombarded by violet light (wavelength = 410 nm) at a rate of 10,000 photons per second, which causes

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The minimum energy required to eject an electron from sodium will be bigger.

Explanation:

red light has a higher wavelength, that mean that the energy that emitted is lower in comparison with the violet light.

If the rate of the photons is the same, 10,000 photons per second, that means that the required energy to take an electron need to be bigger to have the same effect.

Hope this info is useful.

An atom with one valence electron combines with an atom with seven valence electrons. What is likely to happen to the atom with

labwork [276]

It will likely give up its valence electron to the other compound, forming stable octets on each of the newly formed ions. These ions have opposing charges, and tend to form strong ionic lattices. A good example of this is NaCl, which contains Na+ ions that have given up their one valence electron and Cl- ions which have accepted that electron.
Hope this helps!
