Answer:

19 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

Sodium Chloride (table salt) = 50 g

Amount of sodium (Na) = ?

Solution:

Molecular weight calculation:

NaCl = 23 + 35.5

NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Mass contributed by Sodium = 23 g

calculate the mole percent composition of sodium (Na) in sodium Chloride.

Since the percentage of compound is 100

So,

Percent of sodium (Na) = 23 / 58.5 x 100

Percent of sodium (Na) = 39.3 %

It means that for ever gram of sodium chloride there is 0.393 g of Na is present.

So,

for the 50 grams of table salt (NaCl) the mass of Na will be

mass of sodium (Na) = 0.393 x 50 g

mass of sodium (Na) = 19 g

Calculate the specific heat of a piece of wood if 2000 g of wood absorbs 75,250 J of heat, and its temperature changes from 30°C

inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity=quantity of heat in joule/mass×change in temperature

from this question the quantity of heat is 75250,the mass is 2000 and the change in temperature is 50-30

which is 20

therefore

c=75250/2000×20

c=75250/40000

c=1.88

I hope this helps

lora16 [44]

Answer: Please see answer below

Explanation:

Mecury vapor lamp is better to use than Sodium vapor light, this is because because

---The Filaments of the lamp in sodium emit fast moving electrons, which causes valence electrons of the sodium atoms to excite to higher energy levels which when electrons after being excited, relax by emitting yellow light which concentrates on the the monochromatic bright yellow part of the visible spectrum which is about 580-590 or about (589nm) which will fall incident on the calibrations making it difficult to see

While

In Mercury vapor lamp, The emitted electrons from the filaments, after having been excited by high voltage, hit the mercury atoms but the excited electrons of mercury atoms relax and emits an ultraviolet uv invisible lights falling on the mecury vapour lamp to produce white light covering a wide range of (380-780 nm) which is visible that is why it is used for calibrations purposes in lightening applications.
