A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 31 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?

Avogadro’s number is 6.022 × 1023 /mol, and the elemental charge is 1.602 × 10−19 C.If each water molecule donates one electron, how much water is ionized in the lightning? One mole of water has a mass of 18 g/mol. Answer in units of g.

Answer:

m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g

n_e=1.935\times 10^{20} is the no. of electrons

Explanation:

Given:

  • quantity of charge transferred, Q=31\ C

<u>No. of electrons in the given amount of charge:</u>

As we have charge on one electron 1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C

so,

n_e=\frac{Q}{e}

n_e=\frac{31}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}

n_e=1.935\times 10^{20} is the no. of electrons

  • Now if each water molecules donates one electron:

Then we require n=1.935\times 10^{20} molecules.

<u>Now the no. of moles in this many molecules:</u>

n_m=\frac{n}{N_A}

where

N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} Avogadro No.

n_m=\frac{1.935\times 10^{20}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}

n_m=3.213\times 10^{-4}\ moles

  • We have molecular mass of water as M=18 g/mol.

<u>So, the mass of water in the obtained moles:</u>

n_m=\frac{m}{M}

where:

m = mass in gram

3.213\times 10^{-4}=\frac{m}{18}

m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g

State the relation between acceleration and momentum​
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. Momentum is the mass times the velocity. So if you multiply the mass times the acceleration, you get the of change of momentum.

A projectile of mass m is fired straight upward from the surface of an airless planet of radius R and mass M with an initial spe
motikmotik

Answer:

K = G Mm / 9R

Explanation:

Expression for escape velocity V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Kinetic energy at the surface = 1/2 m V_e ²

= 1/2 x m x 2GM/R

GMm/R

Potential energy at the surface

= - GMm/R

Total energy = 0

At height 9R ( 8R from the surface )

potential energy

= - G Mm / 9R

Kinetic energy = K

Total energy will be zero according to law of conservation of mechanical energy

so

K  - G Mm / 9R = 0

K = G Mm / 9R

An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1.00×10^{-7} N/m^2 at 20ºC . How many atoms are there in a cubic cen
marta [7]

Answer:

24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

Explanation:

P = Pressure = 1\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

V = Volume = 1 cm³

n = Amount of substance

N = Number of atoms

N_A = Avogadro's constant = 6.022\times 10^{23}\ /mol

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/k mol

T = Temperature = 273.15+20 = 293.15 K

From the ideal gas law

PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{N}{N_A}

\frac{N}{N_A}=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=N_A\times \frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{1\times 10^{-7}\times 1\times 10^{-6}}{8.314\times 293.15}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow N=24708184.32141\ atoms=24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

The number of atoms is 24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms
