Which type of surface would most likely be the best reflector of electromagnetic energy?

<span>light colored and smooth surface would most likely be the best reflector of electromagnetic energy.Light, shiny surfaces are the best reflectors of radiation and they will allow the waves to reflect and bounce off rather than absorb. we can consider mirror as the example ,it will only reflect the light energy falling on them and it will not absorb. The darker coloured and rough surfaced substances will definitely absorb some amount of light falling on it. so light coloured smooth or shiny surfaced material would be the best reflector for electromagnetic energy.</span>

Elements in a period have _____________.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Elements in a period have wide range of chemical properties.

Explanation:

Period is the row of chemical elements's arrangement in the periodic table. It is numbered from 1 to 7.
In period as we move towards right the atomic number of element constantly increases along with the change in chemical properties.
As we move from left towards right in period, the valence electron number regularly increases in every element.
This valence electron differs the reactivity of the elements.

Calculate the final temperature of a mixture of 0.350 kg of ice initially at 218°C and 237 g of water initially at 100.0°C.

kramer

Answer:

115 ⁰C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> The heat needed to melt the solid at its melting point will come from the warmer water sample. This implies

$q_{1} +q_{2} =-q_{3}$ -----eqution 1

where,

$q_{1}$ is the heat absorbed by the solid at 0⁰C

$q_{2}$ is the heat absorbed by the liquid at 0⁰C

$q_{3}$ the heat lost by the warmer water sample

Important equations to be used in solving this problem

$q=m *c*\delta {T}$ , where -----equation 2

q is heat absorbed/lost

m is mass of the sample

c is specific heat of water, = 4.18 J/0⁰C

$\delta {T}$ is change in temperature

Again,

$q=n*\delta {_f_u_s}$ -------equation 3

where,

q is heat absorbed

n is the number of moles of water

tex]\delta {_f_u_s}[/tex] is the molar heat of fusion of water, = 6.01 kJ/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate how many moles of water you have in the 100.0-g sample

$=237g *\frac{1 mole H_{2} O}{18g} = 13.167 moles of H_{2}O$

<u>Step 3: </u>calculate how much heat is needed to allow the sample to go from solid at 218⁰C to liquid at 0⁰C

$q_{1} = 13.167 moles *6.01\frac{KJ}{mole} = 79.13KJ$

This means that equation (1) becomes

79.13 KJ + $q_{2} = -q_{3}$

<u>Step 4:</u> calculate the final temperature of the water

$79.13KJ+M_{sample} *C*\delta {T_{sample}} =-M_{water} *C*\delta {T_{water}$

Substitute in the values; we will have,

$79.13KJ + 237*4.18\frac{J}{g^{o}C}*(T_{f}-218}) = -350*4.18\frac{J}{g^{o}C}*(T_{f}-100})$

79.13 kJ + 990.66J* $(T_{f}-218})$ = -1463J* $(T_{f}-100})$

Convert the joules to kilo-joules to get

79.13 kJ + 0.99066KJ* $(T_{f}-218})$ = -1.463KJ* $(T_{f}-100})$

$79.13 + 0.99066T_{f} -215.96388= -1.463T_{f}+146.3$

collect like terms,

2.45366 $T_{f}$ = 283.133

∴ $T_{f} =$ = 115.4 ⁰C

Approximately the final temperature of the mixture is 115 ⁰C
