How can an iceberg (temperature=0 Celsius) have more energy than a burning match head (temperature=230 Celsius)?

Temperature is the average energy of each particle and does not really give you an indication of the total internal energy. That being said, total internal energy is the sum of all of the molecule's energy in a given object so it would make sense that an ice berg (having a huge number molecules at a lower average energy) would have more internal energy than a match head (having a much smaller number of molecules at a higher average energy). Basically, the fact that ice bergs tend to be huge and contain much more molecules than a match head, means that ice bergs can have a larger total internal energy which means they store more energy.

I hope this helps.

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.7 cm. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r

Maksim231197 [3]

The energy of a photon is equal to the product of planck's constant,h and speed of light,c over the wavelength,y. Hence, e=h* $\frac{c}{y}$ . h is equal to 6.6261*10^-34 Js, c is equal to 3*10^8 m/s and y= 12.7 cm or 0.127 m. Substituting, energy is equal to 1.5652*10^-24 Joules.

A fixed amount of gas at 25.0°C occupies a volume of 10.0 L when the pressure is 667 torr. Use Boyle's law to calculate the pres

zaharov [31]

Answer:

The pressure, when the volume is reduced to 7.88L, is 846 torr (option A)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The temperature of a gas = 25.0°C

AT 25 °C the gas occupies a volume of 10.0L and a pressure of 667 torr.

The volume reduces to 7.88 L but the temperature stays constant.

Step 2: Boyle's law

(P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2

⇒ Since the temperature stays constant, we can simplify to:

P1*V1 = P2*V2

⇒ with P1 = the initial pressure 667 torr

⇒ with V1 = the initial volume = 10.0 L

⇒ with P2 = the final pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with V2 = the final volume = 7.88L

P2 = (P1*V1)/V2

P2 = (667*10.0)/7.88

P2 = 846 torr

The pressure, when the volume is reduced to 7.88L, is 846 torr (option A)

If 3.0 g of NH3 reacts with 5.0 g of HCl, what is the limiting reactant?

ELEN [110]

<h2>Answer:HCl</h2>

Explanation:

$\text{number of moles}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}}$

For $NH_{3},$

$\text{given mass}=3g$

$\text{molar mass}=14+3=17g$

$n_{NH_{3}}=\frac{3}{17}=0.176$

For $HCl,$

$\text{given mass}=5g$

$\text{molar mass}=1+35.5=36.5g$

$n_{HCl}=\frac{5}{36.5}=0.136$

The reaction between $NH_{3}$ and $HCl$ is

$NH_{3}+HCl$ → $NH_{4}Cl$

So,one mole of $NH_{3}$ requires one mole of $HCl$

$0.176$ moles of $NH_{3}$ requires $0.176$ moles of $HCl$

But there are only $0.136$ moles of $HCl$ available.

$HCl$ will be consumed first.

So, $HCl$ is the limiting reagent.

When we write the formula for an ionic compound, we are merely indicate the "molecules" in the compound with that formula. expla

belka [17]

When writing an ionic compound formula, a "molecular" form is used. The formula is made with allowance for ion charges.
For example,
Ca²⁺ and NO₃⁻ ⇒ Ca(NO₃)₂
Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻ ⇒ Al₂(SO₄)₃
