Answer:

The region just above the light bulb is warmest due to the phenomenon of convection.

Explanation:

In the given case, as Xavier places his hands close to a light bulb, he feels that some of the regions around the light bulb are warmer in comparison to others. This takes place due to the phenomenon known as convection because of which the region directly above the light bulb gets warmest in comparison to the other regions.  

Convection refers to the transfer of heat with the help of mass movement of fluid like air, and the phenomenon takes place above a hot surface as hot air expands, becomes less dense, and elevates. This thing can be supported by the ideal gas law.

Find the percent composition for SF6<br> S =? %<br> F =? %
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

S = 21.92 %

F = 78.08 %

Explanation:

To find the percent composition of each element in SF6, we must find the molar mass of SF6 first.

Molar mass of SF6 = 32 + 19(6)

= 32 + 114

= 146g/mol

mass of Sulphur (S) in SF6 = 32g

mass of Fluorine (F) in SF6 = 114g

Percent composition = mass of element/molar mass of compound × 100

- % composition of S = 32/146 × 100 = 21.92%.

- % composition of F = 114/146 × 100 = 78.08%.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

3.6 times 10^4

Explanation:

Scientific notation is between 1-9. So, we move 36000 to 4 decimal places. SO it would be 3.6 times 10^4. Scientific Notation always has the base of 10 . Enjoy :)
