How long does it take electrons to get from the car battery to the starting motor? Assume the current is 137 A and the electrons

travel through copper wire with cross sectional area 44.6 mm2 and length 75.7 cm . The mass density of copper is 8960 kg/m3 and the molar mass is 63.5 g/mol . Avogadro’s number is 6.022 × 1023 . Assume that each copper atom contributes one conduction electron. Answer in units of min.

Answer:

t = 55.79 min

Explanation:

First, the problem is asking for calculate the time that it takes electrons from the battery to the motor.

The general formula to calculate time is:

<em>t = d/V (1)</em>

Where:

d: distance or length

V: speed

Now, we don't have data of speed, but we can know an expression of current density in function of the distance which is the following:

<em>J = n*q*V (2)</em>

Where:

q: charge of the particle (1.6x10^-19 C)

n: number of charge carriers per unit of volume

Current density (J) is actually current per Area so:

<em>J = I/A (3)</em>

Replacing (3) in (2) we have:

I/A = nqV

Solving for V:

<em>V = I/Anq (4)</em>

Finally, if we replace this expression in (1) we have:

<em>t = nqAd / I (5)</em>

Now, the value of n, it's not given but it can be calculated because we have mass density, molar mass and avogadro's number, so this value of "n" can be calculated using the following expression:

<em>n = D * Av / MM (6)</em>

Where:

D: mass density (kg/m³)

Av: avogadro number (6.02x10^23 atom/mol)

MM: molar mass (kg/mol)

Putting the data that we know to calculate n we have:

n = 8960 * 6.02x10^23 / 0.0635

n = 8.49x10^28 atom/m³

Now with the value of n, we can finally calculate the time:

<em>t = nqAd / I </em>

A is the area and it should be in m²: 44.6 mm² / 1x10^6 m = 4.46x10^-5 m²

d is the length in meter: 75.7 cm / 100 cm/m = 0.757 m

so replacing these data in (5):

t = 8.49x10^28 * 1.6x10^-19 * 4.46x10^-5 * 0.757 / 137

t = 3,347.63 s

But the answer is in minute so:

t = 3,347.63 / 60

<em>t = 55.79 min</em>

so the electrons takes 56 min aprox. to go from the car battery to the starting motor.

How does the electron configuration of elements within the same group compare? (A.) They all have their valence electrons in the
lesya [120]

Answer:

B.They all have their valence electrons in the same type of subshell

Explanation:

  • The electron configurations of elements in the same group (column) of the periodic table have them in the same type of subshell.
  • But the subshells may be of different shells. Thus , the energies of them need not be the same.
  • For example , The Alkalai Metals are found in the first column of the periodic table Group IA. This set of elements all have valence electrons in only the 's' orbital and because they are in the first column they all have s^{1} configuration. i.e,
  1. H 1s^1
  2. Li 1s^2 2s^1
  3. Na 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1
  4. K 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^64s^1

How many atoms are in 1.15 mole Cu?
xxMikexx [17]
6.022x10^23 is Avogadro’s number. Use this whenever you work with Stoichiometry involving Atoms, formula units, or molecules. 1 mol of anything is always Avogadro’s number.

Multiply everything on the top= 6.93 x 10^23
Divide by everything on the bottom = 6.93 x 10^23
Answer: 6.93 x 10^23 atoms Cu.
