Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Good conductors are defined as the substance through which heat can effectively pass.

For example, copper, and iron are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Generally, metals are good conductors of heat as well as electricity.

On the other hand, bad conductors are the substances through which heat is unable to flow.

For example, glass, wood, foam etc are all bad conductors of heat as well as electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options copper and iron are good conductors of heat.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals are the substances that have more number of electrons. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

For example, iron, copper, zinc are all metals and good conductors of heat and electricity.

Whereas wood and foam are is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options copper and iron are good conductors of heat.

Consider the market for paper. Let market demand be given by inverse demand function P d (Q) = 60 − Q, where Q is tons of paper

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Demand for paper is given below:

P(Q)=60-Q,

Number of paper mills=20

The cost curve for firm is given below:

C(Q)=10Q2

The external cost in terms of pollution down river by production of paper is given below:

EC(Q)=10Q2

a. The optimal level of paper production by market can be calcuated by equating MC=P

20Q=P

Q=P/20

b. The optimal level of paper production by market can be calcuated by equating MC=P.

MC=20Q

60-(20Q)=20Q

Q=60/40

Q=1.5

Total quanity by 20 firms will be 1.5*20=30

c. The socially efficient level of paper output is calcuated below:

MC+EC'=20Q+20Q

60-(20Q)=40Q

Q=60/60

Q=1

Total quanity by 20 firms will be 1*20=20

The price will be P=60-20=40

d, The deadweight loss occurs as market price increases and quantity decreases due to the external cost . The deadweight loss is calcuated below:

DWL=(1/2)*change in price* change in quantity

=(1/2)*10*10=50

e. 20 firms merged into one firm to make monopoly firm. The cost function for the monopoly is given below:

Cm(Q)=20*10(Q/20)2

The marginal cost for the monopoly firm will be

MCm=Q

The marginal revenue for the firm is 60-2Q

For optimal output MR is equated to MC

60-2Q=Q

Q=20

P=40.

The monopoly outcome is below the perfect competition outcome and price is higher in comparison to perfect competition. The monopoly outcome is same as socially efficient outcome.

The total surplus for this outcome is sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus and subtraction of external cost

TS=CS+PS-EC

=(1/2)*20*20+(1/2)*40*20-10(20)2

=600-4000=-3400

Due to the external effects the total surplus to the society is negative. In perfect competition this effect is not considered and output produced is high therefore, the external cost will be higher with higher output leading to higher negative social surplus. Generally the monopoly outcome reduces the total social surplus but in case of externality, the monopoly total surplus is higher than the perfect competition.

One reaction involved in the conversion of iron ore to the metal is FeO(s) + CO(g) → Fe(s) + CO2(g) Use Hess’s Law to calculate

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$\delta H_{rxn} = -66.0 \ kJ/mole$

Explanation:

Given that:

$3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)} \to 2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -47.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (1) \\ \\ \\ Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +3CO_{(g)} \to 2FE_{(s)} + 3CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -25.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (2) \\ \\ \\ Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + CO_{(g)} \to 3FeO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)} \ \delta H = 19.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (3)$

From equation (3) , multiplying (-1) with equation (3) and interchanging reactant with the product side; we have:

$3FeO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)} \to Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + CO_{(g)} \ \delta H = -19.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (4)$

Multiplying (2) with equation (4) ; we have:

$6FeO_{(s)} + 2CO_{2(g)} \to 2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + 2CO_{(g)} \ \delta H = -38.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (5)$

From equation (1) ; multiplying (-1) with equation (1); we have:

$2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \to 3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)} \ \ \delta H = 47.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (6)$

From equation (2); multiplying (3) with equation (2); we have:

$3 Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +9CO_{(g)} \to 6FE_{(s)} + 9CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -75.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (7)$

Now; Adding up equation (5), (6) & (7) ; we get:

$6FeO_{(s)} + 2CO_{2(g)} \to 2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + 2CO_{(g)} \ \delta H = -38.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (5)$

$2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \to 3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)} \ \ \delta H = 47.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (6)$

$3 Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +9CO_{(g)} \to 6FE_{(s)} + 9CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -75.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (7)$

$FeO \ \ \ + \ \ \ CO \ \ \to \ \ \ \ Fe_{(s)} + \ \ CO_{2(g)} \ \ \ \delta H = - 66.0 \ kJ/mole$

$\delta H_{rxn} = \delta H_1 + \delta H_2 + \delta H_3$ (According to Hess Law)

$\delta H_{rxn} = (-38.0 + 47.0 + (-75.0)) \ kJ/mole$

$\delta H_{rxn} = -66.0 \ kJ/mole$

Elements within the same group of the periodic table behave similarly because they have the same number of ?

sammy [17]

The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Or also called valence electrons. Khan academy has a great video online explaining why this happens. (It only happens for main group elements). Here is a link (sorry you can’t click it in Brainly) https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table/copy-of-periodic-table-of-elements/v/periodic-table-valence-electrons. Feel free to message me for a better explanation, I would explain now but I’m not sure how much you know about this. If you know how to write an electron configuration you can see how all the electron configurations for the same group (not the transitional metals only the main groups) have the same number of valence electrons. I hope that helped, sorry I was vague about the explanation :)
